A woman, accustomed to booking an extra seat for comfort due to her size, faced an uncomfortable situation during a flight. When a mother with an 18-month-old child requested her to squeeze onto one seat, leaving the other for the toddler, the woman refused, asserting she had paid for both seats. The flight attendant understood and instructed the mother to hold her child in her lap. Throughout the journey, the mother made the woman uncomfortable with looks and remarks.

Seeking opinions on Reddit, some defended the woman, emphasizing her right to the paid seats. Others criticized the mother for not purchasing a seat for her child, calling it entitlement. Opinions varied, with some understanding the mother’s desire for comfort but asserting she should have prioritized securing a seat for her child.
