Went shopping yesteerday.ds1. Jas a blu badge so we parked in a disabled space.went to shops and back to car couple of hours later. We have 4 dcs and the baby 7 mths started screaming and was hungry.by then the car park was packd. I started to feed ds while dh got other dcs in car and an elderly couple drove past and politely asked if we were leaving, dh said sorry not yet then 2 other drivers did the same but the fourth stopped got out and said please could we hurry up, I explained that when I had fed ds we would be going but she was really angry and said a disabled space is not just for sitting in that we should go immediately. I was only another ten mins fding ds it is hard enough going out as all dcs have same condition and ds2 was really screaming I had to feed him as it was a long drive home. Was I being unreasonable?

Offered, can you actually read?

Offred · 04/12/2012 17:11

Ironic.

I think people are looking at it from the wrong viewpoint. Parking spaces for the disabled exist so the disabled person can park their car near to the place where they wish to go. They do not exist to enable people to feed their children.

I'd like to kknow which rights you think I'm exploiting too, my right to dignity perhaps? My right to go out? If I have business in a shopping centre and OP has finished hers, and I have a pressing nead to get inside, then I should be ablle to, if the situation was reversed my argument woulld be the same!

NolittleBuddahsorTigerMomshere · 04/12/2012 17:15

Offered what's ironic, I said quite clearly I am not on here in capacity, and I can assure you I have read a great deal (years worth) about DR and lleg. you have not,

Offred · 04/12/2012 17:17

The op hadn't finished her business. You are exploiting the rights to disabled parking by unilaterally deciding your right to choose where you wee is greater than the op's baby's right to be fed (legally enshrined right which cannot be interfered with btw). Why is it inconsiderate to tend to a disabled baby's need for food before you vacate the space but not inconsiderate to go to a shopping centre for a wee?

Offred · 04/12/2012 17:18

How well you seem to know me for a stranger you know nothing about!

NolittleBuddahsorTigerMomshere · 04/12/2012 17:18

Offered, if you are referring to my posts, I was not rude and don't get why I was deleted.

RyleDup · 04/12/2012 17:20

I can't believe that you are a professional in any shape or sense of the word. Your belittling mocking attitude of people has shown that quite clearly. If you are as rude in rl as you are on the internet I have no doubt that you are an irritant to all those around you. Your reluctance to provide any resources to back up your claims, shows you are just full of baloney.

NolittleBuddahsorTigerMomshere · 04/12/2012 17:22

How do you parkk unillaterally, I'm worried my PA doesn't know how. I have already I would say something if I had a space, thus expressing and maintaining the rights of others. The inacuracy of your replies tells me that you don't kknow that much about the subject and you lackk of respect for my job, so its quite easy to judge, stranger or no TBH

SabrinaMulhollandJjones · 04/12/2012 17:22

Notice how NoLittle is uber-sensitive to anyone questioning 'her professional capacity' in the context of her behaviour on this thread - but doesn't mind dishing out the insults herself!

"boring" "can you actually read?" etc.

GlaikitFizzogTheChristmasElf · 04/12/2012 17:24

Oh my god it's like Groundhog Day!

I will repeat the law that protects the right to breastfeed anywhere a baby can go. If nolittle (which she wasn't, and i do believe she would have been politer than the arse that shouted at op) was the bb in a car that stopped and asked the op to move because she urgently needed the loo and op refused to do so, nolittle reporting misuse of the bb to the LA. if the LA then removed ops BB, they would then be saying op cannot BF in a bb space, this is preventing the op to breastfeed unhindered a right that is protected by the Equality Act, and opening up a whole new argument.

I could repeat this til I'm blue in the face but some people seem to think that disability trumps the bfing. When it doesn't.

Only 400 posts to fill before the thread no longer accepts messages. Maybe we should just post smilie faces until its full.

RYLed up, as I have said if you want to read what I have it takes time, but you'd be welcome, I don't think we've worked together or met in RL, so how can you kknow, my colllleagues are not so hysterical as you llot which is a mercy, otherwise nothing would get done!
Missed you btw xxx Wink
