Parent parking

Parent and child parking - a wonderful thing the supermarkets are providing for us parents with children under 5. It means we don't have to drag our toddlers and push our babies half way across the car park and try to carry shopping bags in one arm and a toddler in the other. Not only that but it leaves space for our buggies and so we don't bash the hell out of your car door trying to get our babies out of our cars! I love parent and child parking and use it every time I visit the supermarket with Mia. What I don't love though are people who park in the spaces who a) have no kids or b) has kids who are not children but teenagers! 

Today when I was visiting tesco I was loading the car up and spotted this couple who had parked besides me. They kept staring at me and I kept thinking 'oh maybe they want this trolley I'm using' so I continued to put Mia in the car as quick as I could so I could offer them the trolley. It turns out they didn't want my trolley and also had no children with them - the 2 seat sports car should of given it away really and I can only imagine the reason they were intent on staring was because they knew they shouldn't of parked in the space. 

I feel like I'm ranting over something ridiculous but I guess it because I just think its inconsiderate. I would never of parked in a parent and baby space before Mia. The occasions I ever did was late at night when I was 7+ months pregnant, which I think is ok considering it was past 10pm and I was with child technically! Haha! 

I just think some people are rude as it is probably these people who don't appreciate how much easier and more convenient it is for a parent to be as close to the store as possible. For them it is an extra 1 minute to walk to the store and you are freeing up a space for someone who needs it much more than you. I mean you wouldn't take candy from a child would you? So stop parking in our spaces!

Rant over. Back to packing for our move!
