I don't blame you for being upset. We fly internationally two or three times a year and are in the air for 14 - 21 hours at a time and believe me it's nice to sit together, especially since we have a young child. We are able to let him stretch out between our laps and sleep. Would be odd to ask a total stranger to help out with that. We have been separated in the past and the passenger sitting next to me and my child was annoyed he moved around a lot. Hello?! He's a kid sitting on a plane for 14 hours......what do you expect? Therefore, I don't want to listen to a fellow passenger whining next tome about my child. Also, I have a weak bladder and I get up probably every 20 minutes to use the toilet so you can imagine on a long international flight how many times I'm up and down out of my seat. It would be annoying to someone I don't know to bother them each time I have to get up. I feel your pain but unfortunately not much we can do about it I guess.
