No idea if I was unreasonable here

Long story short. I spent 2 hours in the car today with 3 week old baby. We got lost and could not stop. Baby was very hungry. We eventually found our destination and I was extremely stressed out and had only had 3 hours sleep. Plonked 2 year old in high chair and started feeding a very distressed Ds whilst my mum went to get us a drink. I just felt so relieved to be sitting down feeding him.

Within minutes, a woman came over and said quite forthrightly that she was sorry but she had just gone to the bar to order food for that table so we would have to move. She had two children with her aged around 4 and 6. I just looked at her and said 'can you just ask them to order your food to another table'?. She looked at me aghast, like she wanted to murder me, told her kids to sit at the other table and not move while she spoke to the bar staff. Then she kept glaring at me for the rest of the meal.

Was I wrong?

yanbu, an empty table is a free table. She was very rude, there was no need to say anything to you when there were other free ones available.

Nothing on the table = free table.

Just wanting to check... Are you a mind reader Naughtylist?
Because if you are, YABSOOOOOOU.

If not, any table is fair game.
And anyone who tries to get a mother who is feeding her teeny tiny baby to move (from a free table) is just an arse.

YWNBU at all. That's one of those unlucky situations, for the woman and her kids, where someone got there first.
