Parent and child parking

I'm annoyed! These parking spaces should be for people with SMALL (ie:young) children and the signs should be more specific. I have just, for the billionth time, had to struggle getting my baby in and out of the car and seen parents with bloody teenagers using these spaces. Grrrrr. Hey-ho, before anyone else says it, i probably should have thought twice before having kids or transporting them in a car.

    Why on earth do you think you should get to park near an entrance just because you have a child?

    Its not about parking near an entrance, it's about the extra space that allows you to open a door veeery wide to get a child out. In my local supermarket, they arent right next to the store.
  • exactly......... well said...... ive seen people parking there with NO children just for an empty space to pop in for 5 mins.... really makes my blood boil.

    It makes my blood boil that everyone else is treated as 2nd class citizens because they don't insist on taking their family of brats to the shop to cause an inconvenience to everyone else.

    Fair enough.

    If I see your car in the car park, I'll make sure I park next to it. When I open the door fully and put a nice door edge dent in it to get the car seat out , you'll be the first to complain.

    Well no I won't complain.

    I will simply inform my insurers to chase you for the full repair costs and ensure should you commit any crime (leave the scene etc) that you are reported to the police.

    Do us all a favour. Close your legs or leave the brats at thome
