8 months pregnant with twins and I'm huge, our drive way has 2 side by side spaces on a really steep slope and not a lot of width. Up until not I've had no problem getting in and out mine / dps cars but I've gained whale status this last week or so and started finding it a lot harder to get in and out of our cars on the drive as I can't open the doors very wide and the slope makes it a bit trickier . There's a space on the road in between mine and neighbours house, they have a large drive with 1 white van and 3 cars on. They often have visitors who use this space, no problem - until they blocked me in twice this weekend so I had to reverse up the slope onto my grass to get out.
I didn't say anything so not to be a naggy neighbour. Today I parked on the road space as I really didn't fancy the squeeze between mine and dps cars or trying to get out on the sloped drive.
I've just received a note through the door which reads in capitals
PLEASE CAN YOU PARK ON YOUR DRIVE, PARKING IS DIFFICULTY ENOUGH ON THE CUL-DE-SAC ALREADY!!!!!!
There's not a parking problem round here and plenty of road spaces around other people's houses.
Not sure if I'm being hormonal and unreasonable to park there (albeit once in the 6 months I've lived here), or if this is a bit rude of them?
AIBU?
Another Parking Thread..

That's not a bad idea about parking in the middle of our drive and dp parking on the road blocking me in actually!
Sadly our houses are detached, but when the nice warmer weather and the twins are here I'll make sure I take them into the garden for a good cry in the middle of the night 
Dp was really angry about this when he got home at 7 and stuck the original note on his windscreen. I've been in bed since and doubt they will see it until the morning. Will update 
How brave of your neighbour to have a go at such a heavily pregnant woman. Parking, cars, a man's domain; he has to let the woman know that she can't park because he's such a manly man. Tosser!
You'll never get someone like this to be reasonable & see sense. Let your dh deal with him.
No news, not seen them since and DP been at work long days leaving early and coming home late so he's not seen them either. They are still parked there and I'm still in bed I'm trying to just think of it differently and feel a little sorry for them if they get so up tight about a parking space, and kind of jealous that this is obviously the biggest problem in their little life
