Not to give table to women with pushchairs?

Me and my boyfriend were in a Wetherspoons last week.
We had a booth and our food had arrived and we had a drink.
It was quite busy downstairs and two women with pushchairs came in..they had 2 little girls who weren't in pushchairs but walking ahead.
They were told there were tables upstairs and there was a lift available.

So my boyfriend (as we were eating ) said shall we give them our table and we go upstairs
I said no don't be stupid
(Bars in mind we were mid way through food and had drinks)
He wanted us to pick up our plates and go upstairs for a table so they could have ours.

It turned into us arguing -with him saying if that was you with a pushchair you would hope someone would be kind to you.
I said not when they are half way through lunch I wouldn't.

I'm surprised anyone considers moving tables in this scenario to be appropriate. If both parties arrived at the booth at the same time or the couple hadn't ordered yet, that's a very different situation from them already being in the middle of their meal. The partner didn't only suggest it, he rowed with OP about it when she wouldn't move.

YANBU, they're more than capable of getting in a lift with their kids and going upstairs

Your bf is a 'people pleaser'. Very annoying. And no, I would not give up my table whilst eating food.
