to want to scratch the cars of ppl in parent / toddler bays with NO kids!!

[mummy22gorgeousboys]

And it's ALWAYS old people or business men.

I want to scratch all their cars and kick their tyres!

gordyslovesheep - Why do you feel the need to make others lives more shitty? Just trying to make the world a more crappy place eh? Jesus I can see why so many people go on about how pathetic MN is, all they have to do is read this thread to see how nasty some women are to each other

Ok I may be completely WRONG so dont flame but....

are those who have a downer on PandC parking mums of older DC.

Who here with babies, children of 4 and under think PandC parking is taking the piss?

I think you should do it, OP.

And then come back and start a thread about how annoyed you are about your criminal record and massive fine.

In fact, if you do it I will happily represent you for free just for the fun of seeing the magistrates' faces when you present 'but they were in a p&C space" by way of mitigation.

don't mind you saying so at all, you do not know me so why would i be bothered. It just annoyed me that the OP had a valid opinion and everyone jumper on her.

Why self obsessed though?

But Daisy, who are you to judge people? I don't look disabled, I am young and look healthy. Doesn't mean I am though but I am sure people like you have judged me in the past for parking in a P and C space!

I very much doubt its done to piss you off though!! Even the people who don't care that they are P and C spaces and park regardless don't think "oohh I'm going to piss off some mummies today" they probably think "its a parking space, I will park!"

Can you lot honestly say that you wouldn't sympathise with the Mum who has recently had a baby...only just learnt how to drive...has a toddler and pre-schooler... had to make an emergency trip to the supermarket... couldn't get in a space big enough to make the already tramatic experience a bit more bearable because some selfish twonk took the last one... you really wouldn't sympathise, really??

I have a 2 year old plus a 7 and 8 year old - so at one point had 2 under two - and yet still managed

Daisy you really need to relax x

planetpotty - I have a 2 year-old and am pregnant. I park on a daily basis in a car park with the world's smallest spaces. I cope.

I do think p&c spaces are a stupid idea and simply pander to the idea that being a mum automatically renders you both utterly helpless and morally superior to the rest of the population.

Planet potty. My DS is 22 months. I park in the P and C spaces at asda because they have a stupid amount of them. Everywhere else I tend to park at the back of the car park where its much easier/safer!

Are we nasty bullies yet?

oh yes ,so we are

sympathise - a little but if she waits a space will open up - agree it's fair for her to criminally damage other people cars - no - that would make her insane

You are.

[pushes usualsuspect over and runs away]

Yes you still managed, but P&C parking makes it alot easier, no?

P & C parking is great, but I don't view it as a god-given right. I also wouldn't feel the need to commit criminal damage out of some misguided and slightly overwrought sense of entitlement to something that makes life easier rather than being essential to me completing my shop.

Of course you manage, but life is easier if you can park in those spaces.

Sirzy - I am judging the people on this thread who have specifically said they would park in them with no kids just to piss people off.

Do you know what I do?

I have a car seat in the boot. I just say that car park is a designated drop off for split parents and the child is with Daddy instore

I dont really! but I bet its a brilliant idea with a whip in whip out booster seat!

who in their right mind needs or wants to park where every numpty who cant steer a trolly straight gouges their car?

I surf the back of the car park with a trolly bay 3 spaces down .... now thats cushty!

[pouts]

[then produces spare set of tyres and wheel-jack and changes tyres expertly within the confines of a non-p&c space]

[looks smug]

I park in p+c place as a matter of principal .

I do sympathise, CoralRose, and like I say I stay out of them, but there is so much emotional energy any issue is worth and some here seem to lose all sense of proportion.

Quite a different question from parking in disabled slots without BB, let me add.

"I do think p&c spaces are a stupid idea and simply pander to the idea that being a mum automatically renders you both utterly helpless and morally superior to the rest of the population."

But fathers use them too, no? Surely it's supermarkets (in fact not just supermarkets, I've noticed them in public car parks now too) recognising that if you have a car full of small children, a little extra space can save a lot of hassle.

Oh, and I should be clear that I don't think it's normal to want to criminal damage someones car (in fact, that's why I back P&C spaces, so that I don't damage someone else's car).
