[blparent] Mom, may I have some ice cream, please?

[Jennifer Jackson]

I think I may be confused about the question on the rightness of giving up
your seat. The question seems to have an obvious answer as it is posed in
terms of morality, but now I am wondering if someone has any thoughts on why
it would be wrong to give up the seat to the mother traveling with 4
children?

Yes, I would give my daughter an ice cream if the day was hot if she
corrected her misbehavior.  Yes, did the right thing by giving that mom your
seat because you noticed that she wasm't feeling well. I would hope that if
I were in that situation that someone would do what you did.
