I think the fact that it was a work trip makes it acceptable for him to have that seat. Period. He could still be a good man & have kept the seat. If it was a vacation things would be different. I hope you aren't implying he wouldn't be a good man if he didn't give up the seat.
I feel you - having teens is hard work. But, I also understand where your son is with the marginalized thing. We as women have felt it, but I don't think the two compare really. Which is why we need to ally for each other. (And I'm not saying you don't - your frustration is totally valid!)

This is an example of where you don't even have to ask. Not only is she an a*****e, she's an entitled a*****e. Glad her father put her in her place. Her poor baby though.
My Mum came to stay with us for a couple of weeks after I had my second kid. She stayed in my house, with us which was great because honestly bedtimes and very early mornings were where I needed the most help. The poster is a first time mum who has idealised the first few weeks after giving birth based probably on the same crappy books I read. No, the first few weeks after a new born are absolute chaos you hope to survive. I deeply regretted not having my Mum here for my first born because some stupid books told us me and my husband needed time to bond. No I needed sleep and 3 pairs of arms. I bet the poster would be crying for her Mum at 3am when her baby won't stop crying after 5 hours, her nipples are cracked and she's bled through her maternity pad. Enjoy your baby!
