My eldest son is Filipino/Irish. Yes, a beautiful combination of Irish height and weight with Filipino coloring. Thank the Lord for that! My nephew is a blonde as blonde and as green-eyed as can be. When I was in the military and they were about 3-4ish, both of the boys, myself and my sister were on a flight from North Carolina up to Maryland.

Both boys were extremely respectful and well behaved. Sat in their First Class seats and were little gentlemen.

We were off the flight first. And as we walked off into the tarmac, my father was laughing. He said he overheard a couple of women talking and the women had assumed the boys were part of the a UN delegation’s family members because my sister is a blonde and green-eyed. It wasn’t until he delivered the punch line that explained his laughter: They assumed for some reason that a military escort had accompanied these little fellas! I was wearing my Air Force Blues at the time... LOL

Back to reasoning. I’ve seen rude, vile adults in First Class and Coach. I’ve seen perfectly fine adults in First Class and Coach. The same with children of all ages. It’s all a gamble. Some children are the Brats From Hell, and some children are just fine. It’s the luck of the draw. I cannot see stopping the youngsters from enjoying the quality of service their parents want to pay for...

“beautiful combination of Irish height and weight”

What? The average height of an Irishman is 5’9”. The average Body Mass Index of Irish males is 25.9, putting them in the overweight category.
