Should you offer a seat to children?

I commute to school on a Subway during rush hour (I live in NYC, and anyone who lives here should know how frustrating it can be). I get seats only because I get on at a last stop; but what pisses me off is that I encounter parents bringing their kids on a crowded train at the asdzdcrack of dawn...EVERYDAY. I'm sick and tired of giving up my seat and my nap. Should I continue to feel empathetic?

small children can sit on their parents' laps
if their parents don't love them that much then they can just stand. it's not like they're old or pregnant.

Depends how I feel on the day aye.

If I'm completely out of it, I'll probably stay seated but if I'm fine etc I'll offer my seat.

OT - Yeah I would. The world needs more nice people nowadays.[/quote]

Although I don't really mind at the end of the day , this happens every single day. It also pisses me off when their parents sits instead, and putting their child on their lap.
