MatthewLAX, I have flown over 100,000 miles a year on UA for the past 8+ years, almost always in first or biz, and have never once run into an unruly child. I think the rumor of their existence is greatly overstated.
I am sure that you, like everyone else I have seen with children in first and biz, will teach your children to behave beautifully. Yes, it is possible that they might cry, especially at take off and landing if they are babies. Babies do that. The rest of us have to deal with it.
We were in an international club in Europe last week and sat next to two children who were so beautiful and well-behaved that I was suspicious that perhaps they were Stepford kids. That was even more disturbing than rowdy behavior.
