Parent and baby parking spaces
Is it only me that has trouble finding a parent and baby parking space? Yesterday I visited 2, yes 2 supermarkets and had to park in normal spaces away from the shop and hope that no-one parked next to me! To add insult to injury there were disabled people parked in our spaces yet there were disabled spaces empty! There were also couples in sports cars and white van men using the parents spaces!!!! Not a child in sight!!!!
Sorry Ladies, I had to get that off my chst. During Bronwyn's 2.30am feed this morning I was writing a mental letter of complaint to both Asda and Tesco.

I don't know about you but the supermarkets near me only have 10 parent and child spaces, as most of their shoppers will be parents with young children they really should have more!!!
I also used parent and child spaces when i was heavily pregnant as i was worried someone would park to close and i wouldn't beable to squeeze back in.
The people in sports cars think that by parking in the bays nobody will scratch the car....if they are that bothered they shouldn't go out in it at all!!
Most people with a disabled badge think it's a pass to park where ever they like regardless of the highway code, etc.
And what really annoys me, almost as much as childless couples, are people who use the spaces with older children, no baby carrier, no screaming toddler to try and strap in. They should know better as they've been there!
I understand why you used the spaces when you were heavily pregnant Simone, in fact we have a supermarket not too far away which has spaces specifically for expectant mums which i think is great.
I think that's enough said!
I took Bronwyn out of the car seat as I was concerned that I wouldn't get the car seat back in. I am 5ft 3 and drive a Zafira (higher seats han most cars), my Mamas & Papas car seat has a base (extra height) so I have enough trouble lifting the carseat plus heavy baby into the car, without having to worry about bashing the idiot next to me! Although God knows why I worry as 2 idiots have scratched my brand new shiny car!!! And why, even though people can see the baby seat do they still park too close!!!!!!
It restored my faith in humans!
