Would you switch a good seat for a worse seat?

Having flown with 2 young kids often, I've never been refused a request to switch around in order for the family to be together.
If anyone ever does, I'll just say, OK, no problem. And I predict within 10 minutes of the flight, people will be begging me to switch seats with them since having a 3-5 year old next to you - that isn't yours - on a flight is briefly mentioned by Dante in his famous poem.

For a parent with a child, I would switch. Of course in that situation, 99% of the time there is a window or aisle to switch to in that situation.
To be honest, I would be scared to say no to a Big 3 FA in the current climate. One would have to be very delicate in saying no nicely, so as not to be construed to be disruptive.

Little kids? No problem, get that snot monster away from me. (I say that part in jest, but seriously, I'm not flying next to a toddler.) I'm not one to switch for adults or teenagers. Especially if I'm in a seat that I like, and I am being asked to change to a less desirable seat.
