One user wrote, “No way, I get the lesson, but I’m really not that far away from my girls.”
Another person added, “I don’t see what lesson this will teach them.”
“This one is a bit odd,” one user commented.
“Haha no this is savage,” someone else added.
Another person said, “Big no.”
“Bad spirit, you would want everything you have and more for your children. I don’t agree with this,” one comment read.
Another added, “I agree with you to an extent…but I don’t think it’s a good idea to leave your young daughter on a plane where you’re so far from her.”
Many viewers were outraged that Samuel would leave his kids alone, but the realtor was quick to reveal that they were sitting next to their nanny.
And while the majority of people scolded the father, others praised him for instilling “respect” in his children.
One person said, “Fair play.”
Another user wrote, ‘Lol, I don’t see anything wrong with this. He had a babysitter sitting with them. He literally takes them on vacation. Broke people trouble.’
“I agree, kids need to learn respect,” said another.
Another user joked, “I wouldn’t teach them a lesson, I would do it for a peaceful flight.”
“Respect, they’ll be in first grade one day and feel like they’ve earned it,” one wrote.

Like Samuel’s video, Ben’s clip left social media users bitterly divided.
The subject of chair etiquette has been hotly debated in the past, with DailyMail.com columnist Jaci Stephen revealing her views on chair switching.
Jaci confessed that she “absolutely refuses” to switch seats, no matter how angry the passenger requesting the transfer may get.
She explained that she traveled a lot and carefully chose her seat well in advance, noting that she even chose which direction she wanted to face while traveling.
Jaci added that in the past, many passengers have yelled at her and looked at her in annoyance, but she didn’t mind, noting that it was her “right to refuse.”
