I agree with the OP in this case. The thing that surprises me is that so many posters seem to be more concerned about their sitting in an aisle seat than doing something to possible help a family that probably already has more challenges that we would normally deal with on a daily basis. Doesn't mean anyone should be forced to nor feel obligated to do or not do something. I am just expressing my surprise and a little chagrin at the reaction of some posters.
I guess the question many of us need answered is how severe is the disability? Would the father's presence really help in the care of the child, or is he trying to force someone to give up their aisle seat purely for his own convenience? My guess is that it is the latter.
