Neighbours have decided that myself and NDN park some of our cars in another street to make it fairer for everyone. AIBU to ignore the request?

It feels like the "children unable to cope with little things very well" is a you problem that you are projecting on to everyone else.

Well, I work for the police so you’re not far off are you! 👏🏻.. still, it’s irrelevant as I already stated 🙂🙂

How does asking if 'spending £5k on car insurance is fundamentally wrong', relate to ANYTHING op is talking about though?

How can spending on car insurance ever be 'fundamentally' wrong? It's a necessary and legal requirement.

OP doesn't have 7 cars, she has 3, can't some people read

That woukd be a no then? Therefore we're all free to ask what ever we like on this public forum?

So you/your adult children don't want to have to walk the streets in the dark but you're happy for little kids to have to??
I do think that families with young primary aged children should have the priority over your adult children.

How long did it take you to come up with that? 🥱

Are you the conversation police?

Your life choices affect others, you don't live in a bubble

First come first serve. No one owns the street

I think 2 spaces per household is fine and fair

We slowly grew from 2 cars and a drive to 5 cars so we moved to a house with a big parking area. We now have 7😱

She doesn’t want her teenager walking five minutes either but is ok for everyone else to. While I am sure the OP will defend this most teenagers are fitter, healthier and unencumbered with stuff like toddlers or walking frames.

It is irrelevant to the actual post though isn’t it? Clearly.

You and NDN do sound pains in the arse but I guess that you can park where you like so nothing to stop you cracking on.

I grew up with F all, I haven't any qualifications and had several major life set backs before I was 16. My resilience thats got me through life and into owning my own business and doing well enough to look after my own children so well has in many ways backfired as they are far far less able to deal with perfectly normal life events. Yes I absolutely would put my children in less than perfect scenarios for their own long term good.

Wow at first I was YANBU then I read you have that many cars and still feel you can take up all the spaces of other residents! You are being very unreasonable.

Your neighbours are correct, you're taking the absolute piss out of everyone, unless there's some massive drip feed here.

If you know it's annoying, do something to alleviate it.

Yeah mine too but my point was that they didn’t tend to work far away from home ie commute. In my circle of childhood friends, I think only 1 mum drove - there were 32 kids in my class (born 1966) and not one home had more than one car. I don’t have any childhood friends whose mothers had their own car - there was only the “family car”.

So I’m not saying women didn’t work - I’m saying they tended to work close to home so didn’t have/need a car - that was the context of the thread.

I believe the complaining neighbour does not have 3 or 4, OP and a different NDN have 7 between them.

If the neighbours have 3 or 4 cars themselves, which I suppose they must, ignore them.

'Central' is relative, though. It might be in the middle of a big city, but it could equally be a village with a few residential roads and everywhere else national speed limit roads with no parking - or anything in between.

You do surprise me that you would actively seek out crowded accommodation in a dangerous area for your adult children rather than any achievable much more pleasant alternative; but it's none of my business. It does sound a bit 'Four Yorkshiremen', though.

Eh? Why would OP have mentioned something as irrelevant as that - and why does that somehow make the whole parking issue that the thread is all about made up? Nobody in the street has actually mentioned money; it's purely the available space for parking that concerns them - not the fact that car insurance for young drivers is invariably extortionate.

She also hasn't given us any kind of run-down of how much they spend on fruit and vegetables each week, but that 'omission' doesn't mean we can safely assume that everybody in the household has scurvy!

We are a similar household with numerous adults and numerous cars. Didn’t realise there was a ration🫤? We work it on one car per adult and have a pool accordingly as opposed to ‘individually owned’ (well, I have MY car, and then there are all the rest, but if I’m not using mine it gets snaffled pretty quickly by an opportunist as it’s always the newest and most lux🤣). The majority of these are parked on the street, because it’s a public street where anyone can park. We don’t own the road area in front of our house, anyone can park there, as can we anywhere else. It’s a public road and is a first in, best dressed scenario, sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don’t. We are more than happy to spend the costs on having multiple cars, so no idea why that would be anyone else’s business.
