Today I was trying to park my car with my 2 young children outside the supermarket but couldn't get a baby space. I then saw a woman get out of her car from a mum and baby space WITH NO CHILD! She just parked, got out all alone and strolled into the supermarket with a smug look on her face . (OK there was no smug look I just made that part up but I just imagined her smugness) Whilst I huffed and puffed across the whole car park with an unruly 4 yr old and baby in buggy!!!!! IT INFURIATES ME !

Yanbu but there's not a lot you can do about it really, the spaces aren't policed by the supermarkets.
Fwiw I have been parking in them recently, 40wks and the other day I couldn't get back in my car as someone parked so close, though I do try to find end of Isle first but if not then p&c

Since when did walking a few hundred yards with a pushchair and an almost school age child become such an impossible task?

What about dads?

Or babysitters?

Are they allowed, or is it only mums and babies?

Our local supermarket has some mother and baby spaces next to the cash points . There are always loads of people parking there just to use the cash points. Recently a van was parked across 3 spaces, driver using the cash point!

Might have been me.

I'm so used to having the kids with me and so parking in the parent spaces , that the other day I parked there without children.
In my defence, Dh was seriously ill with sepsis in hospital, the kids hadnt slept due to all the trauma, and I also have fucking awful SPD - and then proceeded to have a complete sobbing breakdown in the shop, as it was the first time all week I hadn't had to hold myself together in front of with Dh or kids.

So shoot me.

This is not going to go well.

I generally don't mind or indeed notice but do think white van men who do it are total wankers. They do it so often, it's just a new thing to add to the list of reasons the white can man stereotype exists.

Normally i can't even raise rage at the lazy feckers who apparently are too precious to walk across the car park (or perhaps they are hoping to improve the walking & contortionist abilities of parents struggling to manage doors/ seats pushchairs etc). But last week. Parent & child space at the leisure centre. I spotted a very energetic looking gym going lady. ... later on I realised she was a member of staff. Great parked there all bloody day.

Imagine that parent and child spaces are not a thing. They no longer exist. Every single supermarket has decided that they're stupid and got rid of them.

Would your life continue as normal?
