It could be worse.

On a flight back from JFK to LHR, on a 744 with 2-5-2 seating, American very kindly allocated a family party of six, the centre seats in six rows. So technically they were next to each other, just running along the cabin. I'm guessing that this was because the plane was full and the group was late to check in (as they arrived at the plane well after everyone else).

The cabin crew did what they could, but on a boarded, full plane they don't have many options to shuffle passengers around to find space for a family of six. The kids were crying because their parents were rows away, the parents were taking it out on the cabin crew, and several of the passengers were being actively unhelpful. Sigh.
