[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - since you were closely observing and judging this family, how were the kids behaved?  Did they need help from strangers?

While I would never do this, I wouldn't judge.  It might be the kids are used to flying as unaccompanied minors anyways.  They may have enjoyed sitting together.

Would you feel differently if the family was split up but all in coach?[/quote]

So- I was sitting across the aisle from this guy, and when we were all getting off the plane to leave I offered to let him go first and he said “you go ahead, I am waiting for my daughters.”   I assumed they were teens or young adults. Later, as we were waiting for our baggage, I saw him there with his two young daughters, and they were talking about their plans for Disney.

I wasn’t even judging him during the flight, because he never got up or anything. He just ate his meal and drank his drinks.

Also, maybe I am a little jealous, because my tween gets motion sick on flights, so I have never been able to relax completely, because I guess I am too busy parenting.

I think my beef is with his male entitlement. He rested the whole flight, knowing that his girls would take care of themselves, or in the case of an issue, some nice woman or flight attendent would step in. Most moms I know can never tune out like that.[/quote]

This explains everything.  You are a martyr and expect everyone to be equally miserable.  I am a mom that raises her kids to be self reliant and would have sat in first (female privilege!!) and my DCs would have been please as punch to be all cool and grown up sitting without me.

We are raising two different kinds of people, you and I.  [/quote]
