Work vs Babysitting

Inspired by another thread.

I have a group project to do and the only time I would be free that week is on Thursday- this is due to work. The other people in my group would only be free on Friday - this is due to childcare. If we really wanted to we could get together on the weekend (everyone has a partner free to babysit and has discussed they would both be home and free) but they don't want to take time away from their kids/ their weekend off for the three hours we need.

I have now been told that we are getting together on Friday, despite not being free. When I explained I had work they said well we have kids and that's more important. (We are a group of 5 and all four women have children and are a little older).

AIBU or is this not fair? I understand no one wants to study at the weekend (I'm working then too so would have to go before/after the session). I don't understand how them having kids has suddenly trumped my job. Confused
