parent and child parking spaces

[elliejjtiny]

One of my old school friends is moaning about this on facebook and people keep commenting, telling her to park in the disabled spaces, argh. Her PFB is nearly 5 months, the same age as my DS4. My DS4 and my DS2 both have SN. Feel like yelling that it's not the end of the world if you don't get a p and c space. Times like this I really miss those days when I just had my PFB DS1 and didn't have to worry about DLA forms, blue badges and whether people would be rude to DS2 or DS4. These days a successful shopping trip is if we make it round one shop and home again with only one of them screaming (DS2 and DS4) or trying to escape (DS2 and DS3). Another person blocked.

Was going to reply but I am pretty new and have no idea what PFB is?

PFB is precious first born.

Honestly ellie, would remove yourself from FB rather than just block them. You do not need to read such rubbish from people who really should know better.

I'd be telling her to get her entitled arse out of bed and go early, when it's quieter, if not getting a P&C space is such a disaster for her.

Thanks attila. I agree with the others. Just try to ignore her. She probably has absolutely no idea how much she has upset you.

The trials and tribulations of bringing up NT child...teething, waking up at 6 am after 10 hours sleep, not able to recognise all their colours at 2 (shock, horror!) .... Just fades into the silly and petty when you are dealing with seizures, speech delay, operations etc.

I'm sure they are valid worries in the NT world but they demonstrate and highlight the gulf that exists when you are dealing with SN. Even when you like people they just don't seem to 'get' it and sometimes it's better just to stick with the people who understand where your life is rather than be hurt again and again by people's lack of consideration.

Sheeze - i couldnt have said it better myself.

i meant sneezecakesmum...
sheesh..

Thanks everyone. Before I blocked her I suggested that she go early in the day, or at tea time. I prefer to socialise with other mums of children who have SN these days, they are more on my wavelength and understand what it's like.
