[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your parents are selfish entitled jerks. Normally I'd offer to trade the seats, but the way they're going about it makes me never want to vacation with them again.

Honestly I'd call their bluff and say so be it.[/quote]

The grandparents sure have a strong sense of entitlement here.  I mean, if flying first class was SOOOO important to them that they knew they would not go on the trip without being in first class seats, why didn't they book their seats as soon as they knew about the trip?  I think you are dealing with some very difficult people who are used to pushing you around.  Probably a history of this since you are their child.

I don't think you own the grandparents the first class seats that you booked for your own family.  I think you could ASK your kids if they would be willing to switch, but tell them they have no obligation -- even that seems unfair to teens who will feel pressured to comply.  It's not right to put that burden on the teens.  Honestly, I feel like the grandparents are putting a cloud over the whole trip by demanding something from you that they weren't willing to get by themselves.

Do the grandparents legitimately have a health issue that they truly need the extra space?  Or do they just want it?  Maybe you appease them this one time, but know in your heart who they really are.  That would be a longer term consequence.  These are not good people.[/quote]
