It can be any sized poo.

Beetroot because he squirms and kicks and it's difficult to open the door, get him out the seat, put him in the buggy without him getting away, and shut the door. He's really heavy and often fights me, so I need a lot of space.

Bastards If you have an elderly or disabled person with you who needs accessibility then I don't begrudge you using the space. It's the piss takers who irritate me:

FutureGadgetsLab · 20/05/2016 18:38

Beetroot as I posted, getting a highly wriggling child out who will punch bite and kick as well as attempt to escape isn't easy.

Also when you're sleep deprived, your arms are aching, you haven't eaten because you've not had the time, the last thing you want to be doing is worrying about whether you're close to someone's door with said child.

Seriously have some compassion.

bastards

I don't intentionally bash people's doors in. However if I can't get my child out easily, his safety is my concern. Not someone else's doors. If your doors get bashed then that's collateral.

Or some of you could have some compassion for those of us with little kids for whom it's difficult? You know it's not fucking difficult is it? Or are you going to play mummy martyr on this thread too?

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 20/05/2016 18:42

If you're not able to navigate car doors safely, Future then shop online. P&C spaces may or may not be available to you. It IS entirely your fault if you're so inept that you can't manage to get your child in after successfully having got them out as beetroot has said.

I'd take your details and leave them on the other driver's car.

No wonder people are unwilling to make concessions when there's such self-absorbed twattish people about who think just because a space has been created that they must have it at any cost!

He's 9 months bastards. I don't need parenting classes because my teething child bites me, though thanks for the snide sarky comments. Smile

beetroot2 · 20/05/2016 18:43

Does your child have special needs Future? If so, I'm sure parking in a spot designated for disabilities wouldn't be frowned on.

I don't think I must have it at any cost. I'm just saying you can't complain about scratches/dents in your doors when you don't let people who could benefit from a larger space have it.

I've never met anyone in person with this attitude. It's only on MN,

beetroot2 · 20/05/2016 18:44

Cross post. Future, I think you're being a bit over dramatic here Grin

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 20/05/2016 18:44

Missed the updates whilst I was typing but then Future, if your son is so difficult to manoeuvre and you can't/won't shop online then park away from other cars where you're not going to damage them because of your child's issues.

His needs don't trump your responsibilities not to cause damage to other people's property.

FutureGadgetsLab · 20/05/2016 18:44

beetroot not that I know of however I have ASD with a strong genetic component in my family so it wouldn't surprise me. However we don't know yet whether he will have it or not.

PortiaCastis Your Gran should get a Blue Badge, if she can't walk 100 metres without pain or without needing to rest. The Badge is for the person, not the car, so she would be able to use it whoever was taking her to the shops.

Provided that they haven't replaced disabled bays beside the store with P&C ones...

FutureGadgetsLab · 20/05/2016 18:45

then park away from other cars where you're not going to damage them because of your child's issues.

I try to! I try to park in P&C, that's my point! But I can't do that if it's full of people who don't need the larger space in it.

beetroot2 · 20/05/2016 18:45

Im saying getting a child out of a car no way means you have to dent anyone elses car in the process. Your child is 9 months old for giddy sake!

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 20/05/2016 18:46

cross-posted again but if the space isn't available what then? Other people's cars are collateral damage and it's not your fault?

PortiaCastis · 20/05/2016 18:46

When my dd was small I didn't have a car so I got on the bus. Shopping, push chair and dd on the one bus a day. Thought nothing of it and didn't have any choice because we had to eat

FutureGadgetsLab · 20/05/2016 18:46

bastards why are you being such a monumental phallus about this? He's extremely heavy, fidgety and he fights. Babies do that. Some worse than others.

Then I try to park in a space with no cars either side of me or no cars on one side. If not, I try to be careful however getting him out safely is my priority.
