Well?

I mean, ok, you might need a tiny bit more space getting small child into car seat etc.

But I think the main factor here is laziness.

I cannot let that go unchallenged, soupy. Where are P&C spaces NOT closer to the shops?

Personally, if there is a p & t space available, I will park in it because:

  1. I can get both children out of the car without banging the car door into the car next to me
  2. I can get the children back into the car in the same way (without having to negotiate the twunt who has parked next to me leaving me a millimetre in which to get ds into his car seat) 3)I know that dd2 is reasonably safe holding onto my leg at the side of the car while I get ds out of the car
  3. When coming back to the car with my shopping, there is enough room at the side of the car for me to put the shopping trolley with child still in it whilst I get the other child in the car - so I don't have to worry about the trolley being in the bit of the car park where people drive
  4. There is a walkway from the P & T spaces straight to the shop, so the littlies are a bit safer than walking through a car park (not that I would let go of their hands of course)

But if there isn't one there, it's no biggie.

Yes you are being unreasonable because not all P&C spaces are nearer the shop. And those that are further away are less likely to be clutterd up by those pesky disabled badge holders with their free cars anyway.
