More of a rant than anything else. Go to local small retail park with 12 week old DD. Pram in DHs car which he took to work. As I was only nipping into a couple of shops I thought it'd be fine to manage car seat but thought I'd try and park close to the shops I needed. This particular retail park only has a few parent/child spaces so I knew I'd have to be lucky to get one. As I pulled into the car park I saw someone who was parked in one of the spots getting in their car & turn engine on so I sat patiently with indicator on for her to pull out. As she pulled out another car coming from the other direction pulled straight into the space. I was already annoyed by this but then the driver & passenger got out with no baby or child. I could see the lady had a walking stick but still I was annoyed by the space stealing anyway. They were both looking at me as I stopped the car behind theirs & opened the window to ask if they were going to be long (thinking if they were literally popping in and out of a shop I could wait patiently). The man shrugged and said erm no idea, why? We're off food shopping so dunno. I said I would have waited if they weren't going to be long but it was ok I'd go find another space that would allow me to get my baby out safely. He got all funny with me so I pointed out it was a parent/child space and then I drove off as he walked away mid conversation. Really really annoyed me. I never get confrontational but this properly wound me up.
