Defensive Parking

[RickS]

without wanting to sound inconsiderate or lacking in understanding, why do people have to take small children shopping anyway; can't one parent stay home with the kids whilst the other does the shopping?

should all the stay at home mothers hold off from shopping until the husbands get home from work to look after the children?

Yes.
Most supermarkets are open until 20:00 6 days a week, I'm sure that would accomodate the vast majority of people.

how about bollux to you.  There's no way I want to get home from work and have to baby sit whilst the mrs goes shopping on her own.

I can appreciate why the extra space is needed if you have small kids believe me [even though I don't have any]; but without wanting to sound inconsiderate or lacking in understanding, why do people have to take small children shopping anyway; can't one parent stay home with the kids whilst the other does the shopping? [or get a minder - not Terry  ]

Ever heard of single mums?
When are they supposed to shop in your world?

Or what about families where one parent works away?
Does the other parent/chuldren go without food for 2/4 weeks until the other parent comes home to babysit?

So basically, you managed to sound both inconsiderate and lacking in understanding.
Bravo!

agreed, well said.  people who park in mother and baby spaces yet again reaffirming the 'f7ck everyone else as long as i'm all right' culture that blights this country.

I often look for the nice cars that have deliberately parked away from everyone else and park next to them. It gives me a warm feeling inside knowing that they've probably gone home and logged straight onto their forum to complain......

I've only twice parked in 'parents and children' bays because there were no other places, it was pouring buckets, I had a bad shoulder and back and there were plenty of these places. I informed the powers-that-be of my inconsiderate behaviour but gave them the reason for doing so. I shopped as quickly as possible and when I returned there were still plenty of these places available. So sue me!
