My child can't go but her's can....

I used to go to a training camp each year for horses and riders aiming to succeed at a high level of competition. I enjoyed it, enjoyed the evening drinkies too, and got a lot out of it. When I had a baby I took her along to the camp, and my mother to look after my baby, and two horses, and my friend to help with the horses. I had fun and learnt lots (clearly enough to impress one instructor who named me as best student of the day on the first day.) As the sessions went on people started to complain about my daughter's laughing and playing sounds spooking their horse. One woman in particular said my buggy scared her horse so much it couldn't concentrate on his lessons. I was told if I wished to take part in subsequent training camps I would have to leave my child at home in future as she was a distraction to certain people even when she was doing nothing more than sleeping quietly in her buggy outside the arena. So I haven't been back since - I work away from home and can't justify leaving small children without me for potentially 3 weeks at a time for my own enjoyment.

This year it turns out the pram-hating complainer has had a baby of her own and is bringing him to the camp and 'hopes noone minds.' Well, I do, just because. AIBU?

If you don't want to go anymore I would be sorely tempted to put a reply on the forum saying how you wish that she had been as tolerant to people bringing their babies before she had hers and then maybe you wouldn't have had to stop going. Petty but I wouldn't be able to resist.
