Angry

Parent and Child Parking


It bugs me so much that we can never get parked at stores in their parent and child spaces because people with older children or indeed no children have parked there!!

Does this bug anyone else?

OMG! YES!!!

It is the biggest pain in the bum. I get really annoyed that people use it to pop into the supermarket. They don't need to open their doors wide, do they?

And as for the people with older children! Why do they do it? They must remember what it's like to have a baby (or two) in tow. When your children are school age, there's really no reason that I can see (although I'm prepared to be corrected on this) to park there.

I hate having to leave mine in the car while I sprint for a trolley trying to keep an eye on my car and feeling like a bad mother for leaving them alone. So if I have to park further away it really freaks me out. I just wish I could pluck up courage to say something to these people.

It annoys the hell out of me too!!! Grrrr!!

I was looking for a space at asda last week and suprise suprise......all of about 10 of them were taken! I parked in a normal space, had to carry Noah in the cold to get a trolley only to walk past a car (parked in the mummy & baby) with an old couple reversing out!!

Don't get me started these things really annoy. I had a full on argument with a family of fat lazy gits that parked in parent and child with teenagers. Stupid bint goes these are my kids. Bloke from store had to come out to make sure I was ok. When OH caught up with me with the kids I said in very loud voice as walked past ( just so I could get last word in) Some ppl are too rude & lazy to park in correct space & walked off.

Parked last week and a car full of adults and kids aged approx 8+ walked out.
Mum said blimey those are big babies! but they just walked off.

I have before now gone into store & complained with car reg no. Sometimes they actually get them to move.

Do most of shopping online now. OH hates going to supermarket with me 'cos I always moan, often in loud voice if the arrogant ppl are within earshot. He gets a touched embarrased.
