    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

    Why dont YOU stay at home? It must be awful for people like you to leave the house with all these kids around!

    Good point, i didnt even pick up on the brat thing! I think taking my son to the supermarket is important, in the same way i let him help me to bake and vacuum and put the washing in.
  • How nasty some of the comments on here are. Parents are allowed extra space for the same reason people in wheelchairs are. For safety of both the child and the surrounding vehicles.

    I find it bizzare that folk would grudge parents that. Its hardly like we want to be closer to the supermarket for laziness sakes. Put us at the back of the carpark with the extra room if its that big an issue for non-breeders!

    Well, this is an often posted question and it usually elicits the same two responses. From those who think they should have them because they cannot get a child out of a car on a car park or walk them safely into the store, and from those who cannot see the need for them.

    I fall into the latter camp, and before you label me a male, child hater, let me enlighten you......I am female, have 4 kids, and can park on a supermarket car park in a normal sized car, in a normal sized space, get a babyseat out, and restrain my kids long enough to get them into the store safely, without scraping the car next to me.

    P&C spaces are a sop to the vocal mummy brigade who cannot park ordrive their 4x4's, or maybe just cannot park full stop, maybe they are convenient to have, but they are not a right, and not a necessity.

    I went to Asda with my daddy on monday, and we used a parent and child space.

    The car park was full, and he has a blue badge. I don't, but I do get DSA and DLA.

    So yeah, it might technically have been wrong but we did have our reasons.
