To get infuriated by people mis using parent and child spaces?

[nothingbyhalves]

It's all in the title really. A woman just told me she had parked in one because she had a dog in her car. Aibu to think she is inconsiderate?

I have arthritis. I am 31 weeks pregnant and I have a massive 2 yo who I struggle to get in and out of the car.

It pisses me off when I see people without children using them

Mary-I don't feel entitled at all I'm just saying that these spaces are safer than other spaces for so many reasons and like I have said if these spaces aren't available then I go park somewhere where there is more space.

usual are you seething?

There's only a very little bit of 2013 left and after approximately 5639* P&C parking threads this year, I'm still yet to understand the fuss. Maybe 2014 will be my year.

*random figure I pulled out of Tee's ass.

Yes,Sparkling I only came on the thread for a seethe

Sorry Catnap, I wasn't getting at you, really I wasn't. I just find that people do get to the stage that they feel they need P&C spaces. Whereas they really don't - we all managed before they existed, we all manage if they are full.

Disabled spaces are another thing entirely, and I hate the way people mix the two up confused in arguments.

We park in them all the time. We have no child or dog with us, I am on crutches with a broken leg and I am too scared to park in a disabled bit. That's my excuse.

YABU.

Showy. I thought I felt something.

Good grief showy, you went near TEE's arse?

I had several PMs to alert me to this thread.

I have a special seething inbox.

Agree Mary perhaps I was too hasty to say I need the space.it does frustrate me though that spaces appear to be getting smaller and tighter making it more difficult if you have children who don't walk.

I know you are lying usual.

You didn't get any pm's because you have no friends

You are just looking for attention.

Yes Catnap. The herringbone parking is the answer - and I'm surprised there aren't more cars with sliding doors. I could have done with those.

usual

Maybe it's good I don't have a special seething inbox, my head would explode .

Buy a car with rear sliding doors. Job done. Park in a normal space.

I've managed to raise 3 dc without there being a need to use one of these spaces.
It is a courtesy and marketing ploy by supermarkets.
Walking a few extra feet won't harm you or your dc .
If you struggle to get them into the car, how does parking nearer help? You'll still struggle.

You are just jealous of my MN mates,Maryz.

Earless read previous posts!

Fight, fight, fight.

I am bored

Tbh the p&c spots are more dangerous because they're surrounded by irate parents waiting (WTF?) and trying to grab spaces. Park near the back where no one goes because that would involve walking an extra metre & wheel a trolley to the car. Problem solved

Credentials: had 3 aged 5 & under including one who was severely disabled (& now has a blue badge but didn't then). #takesabow

Sister 2 dc under 5 always parks right at back of car park as she says its safer when getting pushchair etc than the p and c spaces near the door...
