Air travel with a toddler and infant?

My wife and I are going to travel to Asia with our toddler (3.5 years) and infant (3 months). The airline said they can’t let all four of us sit together in the front row where they have a bassinet for infants. So, it’s going to be my wife and two kids in the front row with me in an aisle seat somewhere close by. I feel it’s going to create inconvenience not only for us/kids but also for other passengers since it’s difficult for a single person (my wife in this case) to handle two kids almost alone on a long flight. Have you experienced or heard about such an airline policy (of not allowing the family to sit together in the front row)?

Thanks.
