Do you want the responsibility of taking care of small children in an emergency? Getting their O2 masks on, helping them evacuate a broken aircraft, etc.? (Of course there may be a certain kind of passenger that would proudly leave a stranger's kids to fry in their seats, muttering about how other peoples' reproductive choices aren't going to slow them down... )

When small children are involved, and when the request is polite, yes.
