Well.... being as DS2 has mobility issues (to the extent that he gets higher mobility DLA for it) I decided it would be well worth getting the blue badge. Trying to load him in his major buggy is a job and a half sometimes anyway, if you can't get a p&c space then it's been flipping awful.
Now I am faced with pithy looks and actually verbal abuse for using the blue badge spaces. I hate to say it but more often that not it has been the elder members of the public that have berated me/given me looks/tutted at me.
We have a genuinely acquired badge, we are entitled to use the space. Yes I might be a sprightly 30 year old but the badge isn't mine it's my son's and I don't abuse it, if he's not with me I don't use the badge simple as.
I dunno maybe the major doesn't look much different to a regular maclaren or something?
I'm just sick of getting abuse every time we go out.
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
