Seat change request - but opposite of usual.

Flying to TLV now. Husband and I are with our toddler twins. We chose Polaris middle seats in the odd rows, the ones where the seats are right next to each other. Husband with one kid, me with the other.

so we board and begin to settle in. Couple behind me asks if we will switch seats so they can be with one another.

I explained that I needed to be able to watch my child.

the male in the couple looks perturbed and says to his wife “this guy doesn’t want to help us.”

kind of reverse of what we often see, where families often ask others to move.
