I am not denying anyone’s right to have children which is what you accused me of.
Nope, never said that.
There was another family...
Do you know them personally? Share of parenting/childcare in a family can often be a minefield of shit and most likely points a finger at their relationship rather than their desire or appropriateness to be parents.
possibly hadn’t considered fully the implications.
Spoiler alert, no one has (or could they possibly). Still doesn't give you the right to be a judgemental prick about them.

I was responding to Greenbank not you, perhaps I should have separated responses and recalling their “ It sounds like you'd rather then "wrong" people didn't have kids. Tell me more how you think that would work...”
The other couple are generally good folk, but clearly should have not brought kids to a festival when what they both really wanted to do was run around for a weekend off their faces. But it was a jarring comparison seeing the other friend so happily make the weekend focus on what his children wanted.

Well this one escalated pretty quick. As someone that does have children and does find it tough at times for all the obvious reasons I still feel that @dancing james has at least a bit of a point, even if some of the comparisons could do with a little refinement. Is that bad?

I am not denying anyone’s right to have children which is what you accused me of. However people who continually complain about the impact their children have on themselves possibly hadn’t considered fully the implications.
It was a facetious/incendiary comparison that I made and am sorry if anyone has taken great offence. I am just recalling a recent festival I went to. There was one friend there with his two kids, his daughter just wanted to ride on the ferris wheel and wasn’t so interested in the music aspect. My friend took great delight in spending a huge amount on fun fair rides and candyfloss because that was what his daughter wanted and was giving her joy. There was another family where the two parents were squabbling about who was looking after the kids at what time and even complaining their children’s demands were “fucking with my vibe”.
