I fear I am - but look forward to hearing what other MN's think.
I was off shopping with my dd, and was circling around the child and parent spaces in the multi-storey car park, of which there are literally five. Instead of hanging back and waiting where I could see a couple were putting their child into the car, I carried on driving up and down the next 'row' to avoid 'blocking' the through-flow of traffic (I realise this was my mistake - I should have waited). After about ten minutes (literally) of driving around (don't know what they were doing!!!) they finally got their child into the car. I turned into the 'row' that this car was parked on, and indicated my intention to park in the space that was about to be vacated. I waited while the car reversed out, then swung forward. Then I noticed the reverse lights of a people carrier, and a woman sprang out of the passenger door and stood in the middle of the vacated seat indicated with her hands that it was 'their' spot. I hadn't seen the car until that time. I tried to go forwards, unsure of what to do, and the pepole carrier reversed further, almost hitting my car. The woman moved out of the way, and in my mind I was going to go 'inside' the car to overtake it, thoroughly hacked off but going on my way, then I madly decided that while I was overtaking it I could actually get into the space, so I did. The woman charged over to me and asked what I thought I was doing. I said I was parking, and that I had been waiting. Her dh got out of the car and they both continued to shout at me through my windown. They said they had been waiting and (shame on me!) I said, "That's life!". The woman then said I really was a bitch, looked into the back of my car at my 12 month old dd, and said "It's a shame for your kid, having you as a mother". I felt really upset but realised that it was my fault for allowing myself to get into the situation in the first place. Now I just feel ashamed of myself. I don't want my dd to see me as her role model behaving in this way. I'm sure becoming a parent has driven me mad!!
