AITA for refusing to only nurse in my bedroom on family trip?

I’m a mother of four, including a 3-month-old.

A few weeks ago, I went out to lunch with my family and in-laws for my brother-in-law’s birthday.

As soon as the food came, my baby got fussy, so I spent lunch walking around outside the restaurant while she napped.

This woman nursed her baby inside the restaurant.

When she woke up, I came back in and started to nurse her.

My in-laws and family got up and left the restaurant.

I had to leave without even eating.

She told her husband about her hesitation to join the beach vacation.

We are now supposed to be going on a beach vacation with the in-laws.

I told my husband I was unsure about going. It seemed like his family had a problem with me nursing.

So, my husband called his parents.

Her husband’s family decided that she is only allowed to nurse inside the bedroom.

They said that the family had been talking.

They had decided I’d only be allowed to nurse in the bedroom during the beach trip.

I was hurt by my family talking about this amongst themselves.

I also feel it’s unfair for me to have to be isolated from my kids and everyone else to nurse my baby.

Even her husband thinks she should follow their demands.

My husband thinks I’m being unreasonable and should give in to his family’s demand.

He said he will resent me if I don’t.

Am I the jerk for not going?

Her in-laws are being pretty cruel and unreasonable. Her husband should have her back instead of defending them.
