The children suffer more than the couple when a marriage ends. If parents begin their new relationships, their children have to deal with new families. Most of the time, they find it difficult to get along with these new family members and want to avoid them.
The OP shared a similar case in which he sought to upgrade his plane seat solely to escape his stepfather’s family. OP was 14 years old when his stepfather purchased a ticket for him to join their family vacation. OP did not enjoy the previous flight since the children wanted to play with his games, which OP had to share with them. OP considered staying away from the uncle’s children and asked his biological father to upgrade his seat away from the children. OP’s father discussed it with OP’s mother, and she had no objections. OP’s father upgraded his trip to a window seat with more legroom, and the greatest part was that it was far away from the family. OP liked the entire ride, but after landing, his stepfather objected to his actions and became annoyed. OP was fined that he could not upgrade his return flight.

OP was punished not for upgrading but for misbehaving with his stepfather; still, he should hide his switch or set it to zero charging to avoid sharing it with other children.
