A woman shared a story online about how she was slammed by her own buddies. The entire thing is that she is against her buddies bringing their kids to their events. So, she asked Internet users for their viewpoint whether she was right or wrong. Here’s her story.

I have a friend group of 7 women from uni. I’m the just one that’s child-free, however 1 is childless, 2 are pregnant with their veryfirst, and 3 have kids.

We as a group hardlyever fulfill up. I’ve seen all of them possibly twotimes in the last year, and we all live in the exactsame city. Every time somebody asks to meet up, and we finally discover a date everybody is available, one of the mommies constantly asks if they can bring their kid, or children. It’s generally 1 of 2 moms, as the 3rd really desires to have a kid-free night.

Some calling me a jerk, others simply stating they were frustrated with me for leaving, while the 3rd mother having my back, and asked to meet up later that week to have a proper night with beverages.

I don’t hate kids at all. I work with them every day and wear’t desire to spend my time off, relaxing with goodfriends, having to entertain other individuals’s kids onceagain. Am I in the incorrect here?

Here are some Internet users’ remarks:
