To think this was really rude

Met at a soft play with DH & I, our DC, FIL, BIL & his DC. The time there was fine and we agreed to take the DC to macdonalds afterwards.

When we got to the macdonalds I had to call in a shop with DD, so sent DH & DS ahead with everyone else to order. When I got there FIL was sat on a table for 4, with the 3 DC, while DH and BIL were ordering for the respective families. BIL got back with their food first and managed to squeeze in but this left no room at the table for our family. Before they started eating I pointed out several larger tables near by and asked if they would move so we can all sit together, but they said 'it's fine', leaving us to either pull up stools and eat off our knees, or go sit separately.

We decided to move to a nearby large table, as the DC would probably have dropped their food if they had to eat off their knees, and once again asked them to join us, and they just ignored the question.

I feel arranging to go eat together, then not sitting together was really rude and feel kind of snubbed, as they deliberately chose a table that would not fit us and refused to move. DH wants to defend his family and says no offence was meant and I'm reading to much into it. Who is BU?

No, thats really rude and weird.
I would assume there is some backstory there or the day before hand wasn't as trouble free as you think.

Meh, I would not be bothered as long as I had a table to eat at tbh.
