bunedoggle......the above poster is way off the mark about the seating but getting close on the other points. You will be seated next to your kids. The gate agents will adjust seating if you don't get to sit by your kids. Just bring it to their attention at the gate and they will try to move people around. This is an everyday occurance and they are used to handling this.
Every airline has what's called a Contract of Carriage. It's like their little bible that they have written to help them in every step of the way. But you can make it work for you, as well. At the very least, AA should be using an alternate airline to get you to where you want to go. If you are not in your domicile, you are entitled to accommodations. Please immediately call AA reservations. explain your situation and ask to be moved to a different airline that has seats available to your destination. If this is the beginning of your trip, make the airline ensure that your return portion is safe and have them document the record saying that you asked and they confirmed this and ask them to note the date and time of the call, which they normally do anyway. Good luck.
