Because you enjoy spending time with your family? For me, no larger seat or free alcohol is as enjoyable as sitting with my spouse.

You can’t spend a few hours seated at a different spot? Weird.

I’m a different poster. I don’t see that as weird at all. It’s simply priorities. I prioritize family, so the idea of leaving them in the back of the plane seems strange to me. If I’m on vacation with family, I want to be with my family. Otherwise, what’s the point?

Oh get me a bag so I can barf. 🤮

You and your little friend PP are so absolutely full of crap it’s hilarious. I seriously hope you’re just doing this little sanctimonious self-congratulatory schtick for a giggle.

If you’re actually trying to pretend that “prioritizing family” means you must sit directly next to them on a commercial airline flight—where talking is virtually impossible and your kids 1000% have headphones on the entire time—just give it a rest. No one believes you, we all live on earth. We all fly on planes.

Can’t wait for PP to return and tell me how her kids don’t have screens or headphones and they use the flight time to make a quilt together.

Okay, so you’re triggered. Got it. This isn’t as big of a deal to me as it clearly is to you.

Perhaps it’s time for you to examine why you care so much what people think. I want to fly with my family. You don’t. Fine. I’m confident in myself and my choices, so your insults don’t hit the way you want them to.

You don’t need me to approve of your choices, do you?

You sound super triggered.

Here's a more heart-warming story: I was on a flight from CA yesterday. Across the aisle, the husband in an older South Asian couple was offered an upgrade to first class. He said no and tried to get his wife to take the seat. She said no too. They both wound up staying in their window/middle seats in economy.

Waaaat they sound like martyrs. Older so no young kids to take care of and presumably married for a while… they should not need to be attached at the hip!!

As a South Asian myself, what they did does not surprise me at all. It’s a cultural thing.

I am South Asian as well and have no idea what cultural thing you are talking about. After 14 years of marriage I would definitely take the upgrade. After 45 years of marriage my parents would as well!

Me too. I’m South Asian and I would definitely take the upgrade.

How is time spent in a plane family time?
I read on a plane or watch a movie. I’m not chatting with my kids or husband. My kids are playing games or on their kindle or watching a show. It is nice to sit together but really no need. I get more freaked out by turbulence than my kids. I would take the upgrade or I may offer it to my older kid. Why waste an upgrade? Y’all are too much. Give your kids some space. They are more capable than you give them credit for

They are polite seat mates, don't fight with each other, and know to get loud and get attention if anyone is creepy. Never been an issue. When we can DH and I sit in first class in the row right in front of them and we can pass things back and forth even while seat belted in.

Did you fly to Orlando today, by chance?

Cheapskates! If you can’t afford four seats then you can’t afford first class.

It sounds like they can definitely afford first class. That's why they're sitting there.

Why not four seats?

b/c first class seats, like a luxury car is something that you earn, not something Daddy pays for.

Of course I can. But I don’t want to. He’s good company.

Pretty sure your OP said it was a flight to Orlando. Nice try.

So you prioritize free booze over your spouse. Cool, cool. Very telling about your marriage.
