Your daughter looks very sweet, and I understand that a number of posters would enjoy the opportunity to interact with her. I probably would under other circumstances, but when I fly I only want to be left alone with my Bose, my iPad and my drink.
Except - it sounds like 1K did NOT ask to be re-seated. He demanded that the mom and kid be moved. And he got his way, which is the part I find offensive.

I have no problem with anyone here who has expressed an aversion to being seated next to a young child. I have a serious problem with how 1K behaved.
