I've had this happen twice, both times I refused to move (I explained to the FA, calmly and quietly, why I was unwilling to do so) and both times the parent and child were removed. It is not a crime to refuse to switch seats while on the ground.
We had a saying in aerospace: The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.
Take care of you own special needs. Don't expect strangers to inconvenience themselves for you.
Do you take this same position even for a short haul flight? What if they are traveling as an emergency trip and needed the soonest flight but seats were separate? Would you really be so unwilling to move to accommodate and ruin someone's day? I'm sure a parent would not choose to be separated from a child. I would consider the person to be uncooperative... If it was the same aisle seat but in another row, would that be workable?
