[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I  fascinated by the idea that anyone thinks OP *must* accommodate her parents in this scenario or she is acting badly.

I’d tell my kids everything and leave the choice to them. Do they like grandparents? Do they want them to come? My kids like their grandparents on both sides more than I like any of them and would happily give up their seats for $50. But it would also give them a helpful window into what their grandparents can be like. No bad thing. [/quote]

No one actually thinks that. There are people who like to fight and people who are not reading the scenario as described. Many of them seem to think that OP bought all 6 tickets together and chose to put kids up front and parents in steerage with the proles. Those people are missing a lot of dynamics. OP made the mistake of responding with some negative depictions of her daughter, and those people took those details to mean that no one respects their elders anymore.

My 13yo would know that $50 is not a respectful tip for the seat change. Add a zero, grandpa, and maybe we can talk about it. [/quote]

This is vomit worthy. Your 13 is so spoiled that not only do they go on a Greek cruise but they need $500 to be nice and sit a few rows back? Disgusting. The kids didn't work for or earn any part of this trip and certainly don't need to be paid for the privilege. Many people would be happy to go at all.[/quote]
The grandparents didn’t either.[/quote]
