to park in the parent and toddler spaces when I'm on my own

[nametaken]

if it's 9 o clock at night. I mean, surely, they won't be needed late evening?

Or should I not?

I never did, if I didn't have dd in the car, no matter what the time.

I did last night. The place was empty and the passing security guard didn't flinch.

go for it tots should be in bed by then

On a side note, as a heavily pregnant woman, I wish I could park in a parent and child space. Its flippin impossible trying to get out of the car in the other spaces!

YABperfectlyR.

You're probably going to get a real bollocking on here now!!But, no, yanbu.
It really infuriates me when people park in those spaces, and they have a perfectly able 11 year old in tow, quite able to walk from a normal space.
Also what seems to be a problem, is when mothers have their dp/dh in the car with them, and a baby/toddler, and the mother and baby park in the M&B space, and wait in the car while dp/dh goes into the shop. Usually dp/dh, is not a child!!

You are on a slippery MN slope now-next thing you'll be elbowing disabled people aside to get to the Fruitshoots.

makingnosense, i have parked in M&B spaces when pg, I have sciatica, and sometimes really struggle just getting out of the car. Would never take the last place though - in fact, always feel slightly guilty about taking the last place, even with my ds in tow - not sure why!

at snice
Or sitting in your car...in a disabled space...drinking fruit shoots!

i agree with making no sense - in portugal they have spaces for pregnant women, what a great idea! and no yanbu tots should be in bed

Just hold still here while I find the rotten eggs.

well there were about 15 spaces with no-one in them and it was absolutely peeing down so I did.

What is it with fruitshoots? Are they banned on mumsnet? or just banned if your middle class?

Come on girls....lets pelt her with Fruit Shoots!

i always park in them with ds. he might be 15 but he needs the space. teens open doors very wide.

im not middle class! far from it, i just read the ingredients. but thats another thread!

i need one anyway so i can park my range rover ...

Is someone bored?

I never thought to tbh but in your circs it wasn't unreasonable at all.

i like parking in bus bays as well

I just like having loads of space to park so that poor people don't damage my expensive sports car

OMG!!!! Not only did I park in M&T but one of the things I brought was Fruitshoots for tomorrows lunchbox!!!!!!!!!!!

Where are those stocks, I need to get in em don't I

9 at night is ok!

Well I drive a Hummer , I need all the M&B spaces.

Nametaken - next thing you'll be telling us you're going to Gregg's in the morning to stock up on sausage rolls
