Sure it's their RIGHT. But the rest ... well, you're entitled to your opinion. I think it's incredibly self-centered and inconsiderate & host of other words I won't use here to feel like your seat on an airplane is more important than the security and well-being of a young child. Pretty much regardless of the circumstances. I hate to fly, and because of that I hate getting separated from my DH on a plane. But I'd give up our seats together in a heartbeat in a situation like this. Without hesitation. I can't even imagine putting my own wants first in a case like that. (I'm not talking about separating from their own child, or some kind of disability that makes that seat location better or whatever -- I'm talking about your average Jane/Joe Smith sitting in a seat on an airplane.)
and yes, I realize it's POSSIBLE. But it saddens me to think of regardless.
But how do you know the adult you're asking to move isn't also scared to fly and selected that seat for their own comfort? Their own safety and comfort is important to them, just as it is important to you for your child. I don't think wanting to keep the seat they selected makes them self-centered.
