And then hope that the GA/FA doesn't catch this when you are boarding - and force you into other seats as a result.
Seriously though, why not just get to the airport early and add your family to the waitlist for the bulkhead. You get the same leg room, and will not have to worry about splitting your family up.
To be honest, I have been on flights like gemac describes where the parents happily sit many rows away from their screaming kids and do nothing about it. Needless to say, I was not a fan of their style of parenting...
