Heck, they could travel alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But there&#8217;s just something unsettling about a parent being on the same flight but in a different class. Does your boyfriend normally disrespect your child?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Another person chimed in: &#8216;It\u2019s unsettling because it\u2019s planned. If it happened unintentionally I think everyone could roll with it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But deliberately putting your 13-year-old far away from you because it\u2019s a waste of money is very unsettling.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>One user added: &#8216;Sit in economy with your son. Let your boyfriend sit in business class alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If you start letting him exclude your son he will think it&#8217;s okay and continue pushing that boundary.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Others urged the mother to be aware of how her boyfriend&#8217;s actions could impact her child, stating: &#8216;If this is how your boyfriend is going to treat your kid, you\u2019d better reconsider your relationship.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It\u2019s not going to be just a business class flight ticket that\u2019s going to be the problem.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>However, not everyone was in agreement about the step-father being in the wrong, with one user writing: &#8216;If I was 13 I wouldn&#8217;t want to sit anywhere near my parents on an airplane.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It also wouldn&#8217;t occur to me that I was in any way entitled to sit in first class. I&#8217;d just assume it was an adult thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;And if the kid does have an issue, just say something like &#8211; you can have first class when you&#8217;re 21.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Another quipped: &#8216;I don\u2019t think it\u2019s weird for kids to sit differently from adults. It\u2019s 9 hours in a relatively safe, enclosed space.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-12504621\/My-boyfriend-wants-leave-child-economy-fly-business-class-child.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My boyfriend wants me to leave my child in economy while we fly business class &#8211;
