Flying with children is not easy, and the majority of parents admit that it is stressful. In fact, according to a 2016 Yahoo Travel survey, 10% of parents even say they wish they could sit apart from their kids.
One father came up with what he thought was a brilliant plan: to sit his 5-year-old and 26-year-old daughters next to each other. However, when the eldest found out about this, she went behind his back and swapped the seats. It turns out that not every older sibling wants to play babysitter during a 14-hour flight.

It turns out this wasn’t the first time her father had assumed she would take care of her little sister
Some people vilified the dad: “Anyone assigned to care for this child must be consenting”
Others thought the family just needed to talk this out instead of sneaking around
But some thought babysitting was the least she could do after the dad paid for her trip
