Personally, as a parent, [b]I now realize that families really do need the bulkhead[/b]. If the guy wants to prioritize leg-room, he should book an exit row seat.

That said, I don't think he was wrong for refusing to give up his seat. He paid extra for it and those seats are not cheap (usually $50-100 extra)![/quote]

The bolded 100% NOT TRUE. And if a family wants the bulkhead, they should pay for it.

I am a mom of two - we typically have to sit 3+1 and even if our single seat is in a completely different area of the airplane, we have never asked to switch unless it's Aisle to Aisle in the same section of the plane.[/quote]

Right but the WHOLE family doesn’t have to sit together. You could do parent child, parent child. I’m also astounded at the whole families that come to the grocery together. [/quote]

I know a mom and dad who do 99% of school and extra curricular drop offs and pickups together. Both know how to drive and have no health issues (they are my friends) but they just both want to be present during all the driving! My husband and I love the breaks when the other drives so I can’t imagine![/quote]
