On my most recent eastbound TATL flight, two mothers though that the aisle in EC was the perfect place for their toddlers to play. I estimate that the children were 18-24 months old. Both mothers sat on the floor of the aisle, one forward and one aft, creating a "play-space" for the kids in between them.

Most pax (myself included) crossed over at the bulkhead to the opposite aisle to use the restroom on the left side of the aircraft. After about 20 minutes of this an FA finally broke them up and sent them to their respective seats (which were about 8 rows apart).

I was amazed it took the FA's so long to intervene. Anyone else ever encountered this type of behavior?
