I live in a house near a school school. This morning, a person parked over my drive. He then left the car and took about 8 kids down to the school (they work as a team of childminders).
When he came back I asked him not to block the drive. He said sorry, he'd only be a minute and would move. I said no, I can't have that, I need access to my drive and I didn't want to see his van blocking me in again. I was not aggressive but would probably use the word assertive, I didn't raise my voice. I usually hate confrontation but I had an immunisation appointment for my baby at the doctors and genuinely needed to go.
I guess what has made me nervous about this is that a week or two ago, my friend rang me to take her to an accident where her husband was found unconcious with his car wrapped around a tree and she needed my help to give her a lift to follow the ambulance. The call came at 255. Had it been the day before, there would have been a car blocking my drive!
This is about the third instance in as many weeks, I have complained to the school who were sympathetic and advise I need to take photos and post it on some website which is what they have agreed to do at the recent PTA.
I guess I am posting cause I am having a bit of a bad time with a 12 week old and a 2 year old and have for some reason let this completely ruin my day so far. Should I have just let it slide and accept it as part of living next to a school?
