Just to clarify, the reason my comments now make no sense is because the original poster has deleted the part in the original post where s/he said something along the lines of "I might have expected it in on a LoCo but this was full-service".

To attempt a modicum of sense on this thread:
Problems of recalcitrant children (or kids if you must - I thought they were young goats but what do I know . . .) will arise on all forms of transport and in any public situation. On most other forms of transport it is usually possible to move; on aircraft, not so easy. One solution already mentioned is headphones but this doesn't get over the kicking and having one's hair plastered with goo. If this is a problem you encounter regularly (and we fly regularly between Spain and the UK and haven't done so) you could provide yourself with some small items of entertainment value to children (kids), such as books, toys, a flight-enabled mobile device with cartoons on it, and offer to entertain the children (kids). Of course, by doing so, you would be opening yourselves up to child (kid) molestation, but it's just a thought . . .

I would welcome this.
Not sure how much an airline should charge/how they would go about it, but it would be nice to have a flight without kids screaming or children kicking the back of the seat.
Having said that I've also had flights with badly mannered adults too!
Not sure how they could stop the noise from radiating around the plane though, a baby's cry is pretty loud.

Yes, they do assign seats, and for various reasons on the last occasion we didn't check in online until a day or two beforehand, leaving us with 18C, 18D, 19C, 19D (or similar). Seeing that this wasn't a sensible arrangement for two adults and two small kids, the chaps in 19A and 19B swapped seats.
As I've said before, I don't want to get on first. I want to be able to supervise my children safely and cause as little inconvenience to others as possible. If the best way of doing that was to board last I would happily do so.
