Scared to leave her

2 words.. "parent and toddler" the bays are massive! Pop it in there if you go to Asda!! 

Can't stand folk that do that ever since we had twins and could never get a parent and toddler space.
Just the same folk that parked in the disabled bays with clearly no disability or badge.

Clamp the barstewards, that is what I would do 

I dont see it that way. Disabled yeah, I would never park in their spaces, but parent and toddler, thats a lifestyle choice made by the parents, you shouldnt get any extra priviledge for that.

Still a significant saving over getting dent master out

What age are you Kev? I don't mean in a "grow up way" just purely out of interest as to your probability of having kids?
When I had the one child I rarely used parent and child as it was no hassle carrying 1 but come the twins, I then had 3 kids all under 4. Try going shopping on a busy Friday night with the rain p*ssing down and not a space to be had, struggling to get in to the supermarket with 3 kids getting soaked only to find some chav (without a kid) getting in to his poxy motor in the parent and toddler spaces.

I just wish they wouldn't crowd everyone else out of the spaces nearest the door by allowing only disabled and parent-and-child parking there.  Disabled, absolutely.  I have a blue badge on my car belonging to my mother, and these spaces are really essential - especially if we haven't brought the wheelchair, as she can only walk a short distance with her stick.

However, what the parent-and-child contingent need is wide parking bays.  Not to be right beside the door.  I get narked too if it's cold and pouring with rain and I feel like hell, to see all the close-up spaces reserved for people with children who are usually perfectly mobile once they're out of the car and organised.

i couldn't agree less with this post.  a bit of rain isn't gonna harm you rolfe but if you have 2 or 3 kids under 5 then its usually preferable to get the little monkeys into the store as quick as.  i agree with clamping any ar7ehole who parks in these spots.

I think forum rants are amazing! 
People who sit on their computer putting the world to rights... It was only said tongue in cheek and then the mothercare brigade was on my back before i knew it! ha ha funny.

Rolfe what about all the disabled badge holders who have obviously got the car because they care for a relative or similar. They really p*ss me off when they take the disabled spaces purely because they have the badge. Yeah they could be going an errand for the person who the badge belongs to but does that give them the right to use the space when some other poor punter who can't manage, can't get a space at the door. Does that not annoy you if you are out with your mother and the spaces are taken?

Ah don't get me started

me personally i'm not in the mothercare brigade.  i do have a little girl yes.  however i had the same opinion before she was a twinkle in my eye.  parking in these spaces is the same as parking on a double yellow line, and inconsiderate to people for whom they are designed.  its another example of the 'i don't give a f7ck about anyone else other than myself' attitude that's indicative of today's society.

Once that girlfriend of yours gets a grip of you, you'll become one yourself    and you'll be slating them also 
Before I had kids I never gave them a second thought because it wasn't relevant to me but you'll soon change, trust me.
Thankfully mine are all in secondary school now so I don't go near them but I know where others are coming from.

Enjoy 'em while they are young, when they get to 17 they start muttering about driving lessons & insurance
