Parents can be annoying

As the title suggests, people with kids can be so annoying.

I have a friend who is travelling to onsite and asked if we could meet before that for lunch/dinner. I obvious said yes. Then she goes is she could bring her kid along as well. I said no. She got offended and asked why she cannot tag her kid along. I asked where is her husband, and why is the kids father not caring for the kid for one afternoon or evening. She literally said her husband cannot care for the kid and so she has to do it.

Like why bring kids into the world if you are not going to care for the kid.. Also why do these un-official single parents excepts everyone to catter to them...

Have you guys face similar situations..

Edit: for anyone wondering, we where going to meet at a pub. She wanted to bring her kid to a pub. Call me a bad friend if I say no to kids in pubs 🤣🤣
