Why do familys have to sit together

Yes, he has several in fact, but if he ever gets still he still goes out. I swear that man could sleep if the house was falling down around him.

I feel better now.

Yeah, the men in my family sleep like logs. Nothing wakes them up. They better hope the house never catches on fire when I'm not home because none of them will wake up from the sound of the fire alarm.

We have kids but even before that my Dh and I would sit together. I think it is more important to ask if you do not want to sit with your family then why are you going?? I enjoy the time. We read and discuss things and it is fun.

Today's riddle: Why do familys (sic) have to sit together?
Answer: Because that is the lesser of two evils.

When people succeed in saving seats on Southwest, there are fewer instances of someone ending up sitting next to someone they would rather not sit next to and also where that other person would rather not sit next to him.

... Yeah, the men in my family sleep like logs. Nothing wakes them up. They better hope the house never catches on fire when I'm not home because none of them will wake up from the sound of the fire alarm.

My mother always told me, don't stay up too late and get overtired. I didn't see or look up the news article she read but she said that the article mentioned that if someone gets too tired, when he finally goes to bed and falls asleep, he might not wake up to the sound of a fire alarm or smoke alarm.

I'll be the odd person out and say that our family no longer "HAS" to sit together. My 12 year old has flown by himself multiple times and is currently taking flying lessons so if we were to be separated I'd worry more about myself than him. LOL.

My husband and 16 year old would also be fine on their own. I would insist or book tickets so that my 8 year old daughter is with one of us.

However, whenever possible, we sit together because it's fun for us to chat with each other or watch a movie on the tablet! That being said, I would volunteer to move if a mother/father with children under 6 didn't get a seat together and I didn't pay for mine on Southwest.

I also find this type of question funny.....in complaining about why at person "has" to sit a in a particular seat - as we are all going to get there at the same time, the why is it so important that *you* take a particular seat that a family is trying to use.


If it really doesn't matter, then go sit elsewhere...knock yourself with a middle seat that noone else really wants...

Of course seats do matter. We all have preferences.

I'm kind of hoping we all get separated. 6 nights in a Value room is enough closeness for a week.

I KID!!

My children are 9. (Twins)
We must sit with them. They have only flown a couple times so they aren't super experienced.
My hubby is a very nervous flier. Honestly, I try if I can, to have the girls with me and put him in another row. Only because I don't want HIS issues to become THIER issues!
Which is also why I prefer they don't sit with a stranger. If there was anything out of the ordinary to happen I want to be in control of what is said and how it is said to my daughters.
They are VERY well behaved children....so it certainly isn't due to them not being considerate of other passengers....but I would just feel better having them with me.

Now....my MIL on the other hand.....I would happily pay NOT to sit with her.
Like...if they could put a lawn chair on the wing for her that would be good.
