Is it just me or do any other mummies HATE it when people without children park in the parent and child parking space? Grrr it really gets on my nerves.
Before I had my little boy it never bothered me, as I never had to use one but I still never parked in one. I first realised when

Sidney was 2 weeks old how annoying it was. I couldn’t find an empty parent space so ended up parking in a normal spot trying to not hit the car door next to me, whilst trying to lift out the bulky car seat.
On my way into the supermarket I saw a business man get into his 2 seater sports car that he had parked in the parent space that myself or another parent needed. I glanced evils his way and gave him the middle finger. ‘Ignorant T**t’ I was thinking in my head. How dare he and how lazy. Is it really so hard to walk a few extra steps for him?
Only the other day I was circling around looking for a parent friendly parking space when I realised that they were all taken. So I thought to myself ’Okay then, fair enough’ Next thing you know 6 teenage lads carrying boxes of beer and BBQ bits walked to there two cars and each car was parked in a parent and child spot.
I couldn’t help myself. I gave them a piece of my mind. Bet they wouldn’t have parked in a disabled parking space because they might get fined, but I think that there should be some form of punishment for these inconsiderate people.
Do you agree? What would you like to see done?
I definitely agree with this post .. it is the most irritating thing ever but whats more annoying when they’re just sat in the car, alone just sat there .. I tell them me, I went shopping with my dad and we needed a parent space as I had my little girl with me (she was only a couple of months old) and this women parked and got out, so I went ‘excuse me, where are your children’ she says ‘I don’t have any’ so I laid into her saying how it’s a parents space and there’s many people that need them and that she was taking the piss. I agree something should be done, maybe the same as disabled a fine?
Yes that is also frustrating! I agree with you that some form of fine should be put in place xx
Do you no what us even more furstraiting they cannot legally inforce it !! i spoke to the manager of my local tesco and it is a mith you dont get fined for parking in the disabled bays so all the old coots round my way who think it is ok to take the parent spaces i use the disabled ! why they do it i dont no but they cannot legally inforce it it is just there for ease xx
I dont even drive yet it does my head in!
It really pisses me off!! excuse the language. I actually had a go at one woman for parking in a Parent and Child spot. I was with my mum as well she could have killed me for it but we had Ronan in the back of the car and he has a disability, and we cant have his blue badges until he is 5 if I want them. So I majorly rely on Parent and Child spots not just because hes a child but because hes got a disability too. The woman soon went red faced and moved the car! My mum was ready to kill me and Asda staff were making sure I was ok. So people if you are reading this and go to Asda in Blackpool DO NOT and I mean DO NOT park in the parent and child spots if you do not need too!!! I might just be there to rip your head off for it
oh and by the way I do not care if there is no other spaces! You keep driving until there is!
this frustrates me no end, they should be able to enforce something, hell id volunteer to stand outside the place telling people off as it annoys me no end! their is a reason they are made for parent and child and its not so you can be closer to the shop!!!
Annoying ain’t the word!!! There’s only 8 parent and child spaces at our asda car park. Out of 1700 spaces!!!! And there’s always old couples in them who don’t qualify for a blue badge but think they should get the spots because they are nearer to the store and they are old… It’s really frustrating. X
There should be a fine for parking in a parent and child spot if you clearly have no child. Just like it’s wrong to have a disabled person park further away than they should, so is making a parent park in a spot that can potentially damage their car and the car of someone else. It all comes down to people being lazy; their not wanting to walk a few extra feet causes inconvenience for everyone else!
I think you should get some sort of sticker or badge likr a disabled one. And should run out when the child is 5 or 6. It annoys me so much. I have a 4 year old and a 1 year old x
It really annoys me does this I work in a supermarket and there’s plenty of complaints about this aswell as disabled parking x
I’ve blocked someone in before that I watched park in a M&B space, get out with no baby / child and walk in to the store … bing bong would the owner of car reg X*& please come to store reception … Madam you seem to have blocked this gentleman in …. he’s no fecking gentleman parking in a M&B space with no child … sir? … oh yes well, i was just popping in … madam? … well im doing my weekly shop so he’ll just have to wait now … I dont think he’ll be doing it in a hurry again.
Like many of you, I too have called after people and asked where their child is if they have been parking near / next to me as I have been. Anyone else feel they look at you like you have five heads and have spoken an alien language to them?
Some supermarkets do enforce a fine if one parks in a disabled / M&B space and you’re not supposed to, others like my local store simply shrug their shoulders and say sorry we don’t monitor it.
Disabled badge holders can apparently park in M&B spaces if there are no disabled spaces left … well when the proportion of Disabled spaces to M&B spaces is trebled in most places, there should really be no need for it!
Here’s a twist on it all to get you thinking – if you saw someone parking in a M&B space and getting out with a wheelchair, what would you do? Having a disabled nan, a friend whose 20 year old son is severely disabled, and a friend in their 40′s who is disabled, they all rightly have disabled badges to enable them to park in disabled places. I know that all of them would park in a M&B space if there were no disabled spaces left as they genuinely NEED that bigger and CLOSER space for their wheelchair. Do we end up discriminating against ‘how’ disabled someone ‘looks’ if they park in a M&B space?
I have no problem with someone with a disabilty parking in m+b spots if needs be its just people who do it out of sheer laziness that pee me off xx
I so agree. I hate shopping for that reason and I never get a parent and child space. I park miles away from the supermarket because it’s busy. Iv seen a business man park in the parent and child spots some middle aged lady and someone disabled baring in mind there was disabled spaces free. I think people should be fined if they don’t have children.
This annoys the hell out of me! Especially when you have to walk a 1+3yo half way across the car park just for some lazy b**tard!
i dont drive but my partner does and it drives me insane! x
I’m from the generation before the current one. Now in my early 50s and having raised 2 children, both my wife and myself think this generation is being a bit precious about the special parking spaces for Mums with children. We managed just fine without them.
P.S We don’t believe in the Seniors spots either! Fully agree however that disabled spots should be only for disabled people.
Finally……someone with some common sense, Nowadays it is all about getting closer to something, or getting something for nothing, etc, etc. This generation need to look back and think how lucky they are these commodities are that exist. Bet your mums never complained about having to walk anywhere as they just got on with it without moaning even if things did get tough!!!!
Annoys me to death
I don’t think its wrong so fuck all you parents with annoying little bastard children brats who are out of control, illmannered obese and mouthy! They should bring back torture chambers to throw these little cretins in, and parents should be hung for raising such moronic brats! They shouldnt have special spaces at all, first come first serve like with everything else, fucking ignorant humans want everything served on a plate and think the world owes them…well fuck you!
Em thanks for your comment … not really sure what else to say
Fuck you too moron go crawl back under your rock!! And BTW my son is not a brat thanks very much!! Hes got better manners than you and more bloody respect for people!! Now jog the fuck on, BYE!!! *waves at Peter*
wow some one’s mum didn’t hug them enough
woa, someones a little tense.
And I think you may be on the wrong blog, this is a parenting/mum/dad/child blog =D
Do you count as a cretin, would love to throw you in too – maybe the kids could teach you a few things! lol
WOW someones angry
Ohh someone is on their period
Wow!! Clearly someone isn’t getting any loving haha! Silly little boy. Children are a blessing! Hope to God you never father a child! And as for P&C spaces I think there should be a fine if you don’t have a child! They are not there for convenience but for safety in my eyes!!
Im guessing by what peter wrote he is infact green with envy as he is unable to find someone that will have children with him! The spaces are there for parents to use so that they can get there CHILDREN NOT BRATS! out of the car without any risk of damaging other cars parked beside them hence why they are wider than the normal spaces.
Well Peter Hipkiss I hope your sperm all ends up in a tissue I would dread to think there are more obnoxious rude fowl mouthed I’ll mannered moronic ignorant human things that are the product of your ball bags walking around but if you speak to people face to face the same as you write I dont think I have to much to worry about
sorry but had to laugh at that comment lol
Oh wow someones clearly farting rainbows and spreading the joy!
Dude, im sorry but I think torture chambers are usually reserved for twonks like you!
First come first serve? Did your blow up doll come before you managed to, and now you hate the world?
I think all these commenters are mean and one day you would make a spiffing father…NOT!
oh p.s if its first come first serve then you wont mind getting run down when you attempt to park your robin reliant in a child parking space . No doubt your a anorak wearing, train watching, plimsole wearing freak show with a nose bigger than your brain and a total inferiority complex because a new born baby can hit pubety and evolve faster than you.
This is soo annoying! We live a 10 minute drive from our local ASDA and the amount if lazy arses that park in the P&C spaces is unreal. And I always ask them where their child is. Drives me insane! Xx
This is a pet hate of mine, I don’t drive myself but you can guarantee every time I’m out with either my oh or sister and we come to park up it can be a struggle to find a parent and child space.
What a prat for starters ! N yes it is a annoying my oh got his wing mirror knocked off for this fact ! The mum was so upset n paid for it and waited till we got back bless her
Dont feed the trolls ladies x
Wow…… How mature of you to spout your gobshite off on here. What’s the matter? Did mummy not give you much attention? Is your wife/partner/boyfriend not giving you any? You was a child once and given your attitude and foul mouth, I expect not a very nice one! And my children aren’t brats, cretins etc etc, they have manners and common sense which I can safely say you appear to lack. I do hope you speak to people face to face a lot better and with respect unlike you have done here. Maybe you need to wank into a sock to sort out your frustration and tension. Bye Peter! Don’t tug too hard!
Cant stop laughing. Shell I love it! Fartin rainbows! Lol lol lol x
Oh my. What crawled up your bottom and died? Hope you don’t kiss your mother with that mouth!
Parent and child parking spaces are for people with children. Hence the name, others shouldn’t park there. Simple.
No there wasn’t these spaces ‘back in the day’ but there wasn’t life saving medicines either, would you just not take medication that could save your life because ‘back in the day you just had to get on with it’.
There weren’t cars either, people had to walk for miles. That doesn’t stop people driving, clearly.
Wow. Sounds like someone was dropped on their head at birth. If people don’t like change and evolution, such as the introduction of parent and child parking (because let’s face it, 20 years ago statistically there were LESS cars on the road. And LESS children, our population as a whole has increased hence the need for things such as these) then why are you even using the Internet?
That wasn’t around when we were kids? I mean, wow, the Internet, there to serve and be served. To make things easier. Supermarkets are a known place for the elderly and mums with a children. If you had a busy life worth living, Surely you could save us all the hassle and MAIL ORDER your months supply of KY and VASELINE, bananas, carrots, cucumbers, marrows, thus emptying another space in ASDA’S car park. Would save us all having the possibility of coming face to face with you.
Or are you one of these guys that are nice and quiet and ever so polite in person, but the minute you get behind a computer screen your cock is hard and throbbing at the thought of dispensing some of your vitriol on us women.
Your probably just like one of my slaves Peter, mmm bet you would love me to chain you to my rack and shove my largest ball gag in your mouth and whip your puny ass into a bloody ribboned mess. Whilst telling you what a sad excuse for a human being you are because mummy didn’t love you.
Now if that’s what it takes to get you off and to keep you off our screens, my rates are reasonable. And there is nobody that could humiliate you quite as well as I can. Ill have you shitting yourself for more in no time you vile pathetic boy.
Hbfdu kiyfcno nvcdyoj csef fhjlpbc bvccxxxx cgihfrdfy765tiinvcf – peter my 2 year old daughter wrote that for you and it has a much higher conversational value than the shit you just spouted!!
Hhhm. Well I hope I don’t shop at the same supermarket as you Peter. Don’t think I could stand the stench of your rotten attitude long enough to buy my weekly supply for my four, soon to be five ill mannered obese and mouthy offspring.
Sallie I think you will find that back when there were less cars and we were not so technologically advanced there was no need for the spaces as people didn’t moan about a car parking space they just got on with it and the spaces haven’t got much smaller. If you don’t want people hitting your car don’t take the car walk or don’t moan as at the end of the day to me it is a space and that is it. This is the problem with this generation it is much easier to stand and moan than to just get on with it. But then again it is too much to ask of some common sense and just park in an area where people are not parking, yes it may add 2 or 3 minutes to your venture out but then your car doesn’t get hit and you won’t get would up will you. Simple solution and a little exercise to boot everyone is a winner
Same it really gets to me too. I have actually had a row with people who then say well I am disabled, errrrr there’s about 10 disabled spaces there!! They wud have a fit if we parked I. The disabled space. They shud be fined
Well, aren’t you a super sparkly ray of sunshine Mr Dipshit!
Hi Ali,
I agree with you but please don’t tar us all with the same brush, those spaces mean we are able to get our children out safely without damaging other cars.
Also before I could drive, I would walk half hour in every type of weather with a 1year old and 3 year old and even my children didn’t complain.
