to get frustrated with the number of non-toddler/baby owning parents ABUSING the parking at the shopping centre?

Bend Over you Bad Bad woman.

I can see why a parent might HAVE to leave a child- if on their own with them anyway; on several occasions some idiot has parked so close to both sides of the car that I could not get rear doors open and car seat in. Luckily drivers have usually returned swiftly but that's been luck.

I use P&T spaces with my boys aged 3, 8, 10 and 12- very rarely but on occasion. They are all disabled (well, ds4 and ds2 in assessment but definite SN somewhere) and yet not enough for a disability parking space. Mostly I steer clear of leaving home without an extra adult anyway but if I have to then so be it.

Morning mary --sore head too--

I think there should be special spaces for shoppers with gifted and talented children.

Why should they have to park so far away?

Maryz I agree, we'll blame chaos, and ill blame my dcs too for going to bed early thus giving me extra drinking time.

I was on a thread last nigh saying I thought Jeremy Clarkson looked appealing . Was a weird and educational evening for me.

Aaah yes I was on there briefly, though I have no idea why.

IMO we should just blame Chaos for everything...

Rockstock - no, he arsing well hasn't arrived. I am getting more than a little cross with him! Sitting in doctors right now waiting for another midwife to tell me they won't do a sweep until after 41 weeks.

I need a baby to stuff through the car window!

kungfu ill lend you a petite 3yo, she's 24lb so not much over infant carrier weight and the exersion might shift him?

I've strapped my two in through windows many a time, post them in through the boot, they open the windows I strap in, dp some how slivers into the drivers seat and reverses so I can get in like a laydee!

once you have a baby do your legs stop working!!!!

Oh kungfu I feel for you. Shirley and I were wondering last night what news there was actually. Fingers crossed that something will happen soonest.

Are you sure they are for parents wwith toddlers , not parent and child ?most of them i see have a picture of a parent and toddler but when you actually read the sign if says for adults accompanied by a child under 12.So a family with a 16 yo and an 11 yo would be well within their rights to park there.

The nearly 30lb 2 year old doesn't seem to be shifting the baby, JJ! Although he does a good line in shouting 'get out baby' at my stomach.

I keep waking up in the early hours with stomach and back ache and thinking 'yes! This is it!'.

And then nothing sodding happens!

at G&T parking spaces.

Maryz - I am beyond caring about this child's educational, sporting or social prospects. I just want him to get out and stop playing with my internal organs NOW!

He will just have to be crap at sports.

Oh bugger kung

I want G&T spaces just so I could piss off the delusional pfb genious child owners.

I think fancying JC suggests something stronger than christmas booze, unless she's fell down the stairs recently...

Kungfu - you should start a live birth thread like nickel - see if you can have yours before the end of it! unlike nickel who took 3 threads AND an extension to have hers

Oh yes Kungfu, do. And put it somewhere that those of us who hide nasty parenting topics can find it

how many points do I get for witnessing this:

P & T parking:

White van man
smoking
left children in car
came back with bottle of whiskey,
