well the common sense of the policy is it is supposed to allow you to sit next to family/friends/colleagues in the same cabin who happen to be on a different booking. In your case and where the people are sat in separate cabins that is no longer the case.

The value of the bookings is largely irrelevant - albeit high value bookings in business (booked in the higher value selling classes) do include free seat selection. I can only assume your kids are booked in discounted business selling classes if it isn’t included for them.
