Well done on your F positioning!
Minor point, but ticketed in F will allow you and guest into the CCR which you might prefer. Just pointing out as no one else seems to have said so.
Lastly, the other alternative is to find someone else flying in F (or with status) on the same day as you. They might generously offer to guest the remaining parent in for you. It’s against forum policy to encourage this, but on this occasion I might suggest searching the forum for a strategy on how to achieve this.

There are also threads here dealing with the trials and tribulations of asking other pax for their guest space. The outcome was inconclusive as to whether it is appropriate or not so will be down to your chutzpah and/or judgement!
Another idea might be to send an email to “First First” (link on the BA website), outline the circumstances (and that you know only one guest is allowed) but ask whether they could put a note on your file for the lounge staff to consider a second guest depending on capacity? Who knows...worth a try.

I think the OP has his parents wrapped around his finger! There's absolutely no chance I'd be sitting in the back with the children sitting up front!
6'3" is reasonably tall but certainly doesn't make travelling in Y or W out of bounds.

I didn't realise they would put Master on it, when I was a minor it was still Mr. I believe. But I have tried giving up boarding passes before and it worked, but with "Master" on it that might be more difficult.

On a similar topic I was surprised to see that BA allow kids to sit in a different cabin from the age of 5.
So technically I could book a flight for tomorrow in F and book my 5yr old and 8yr olds into WT (same flight) on their own and BA are cool with that.
