In the last week I have seen 3 people on 3 different occasions park in the 'baby parks' who didn't have babies or children! Yes! 3! You know the parks I mean, they are the ones allocated for people with buggies and little ones in carseats.
These carparks are really awesome because they are usually wider (meaning less chance of you scratching the car next to you when you are getting baby in and out) and undercover or at least a bit closer to the supermarket making your already long day just a tiny bit less stressful.
Last week it was pouring with rain and I circled my supermarket parking lot hoping to find a park undercover. Sadly I was out of luck but then I saw a lady getting out of her car (parked in the pram park) with no baby. She strolled into the supermarket toasty warm and dry. I on the other hand had to park way down the lot and run in torrential rain with my rather heavy 14 month old on my hip.
Now, I know this doesn't sound like that big of a deal but for some reason it really irritates me. Am I the only one who would never dream of doing this? it just doesn't make sense to me that so many people would park in them who don't have a baby! I mean come on people! Can you not read the sign that clearly says for prams?! It's a picture of a friggin baby! Maybe you do have a baby at home and that's why you think it's okay to park in them? Nope! If your baby is not actually with you YOU CAN'T PARK THERE!! It just makes my blood boil that people can be so rude.
Dear lazy people who can't read signs,
If you think no one is watching or no one cares well maybe thats true but I see you! I see you stealing a carpark from a tired mama who deserves that slightly shorter journey to the shops. She deserves it because she works hard all day caring for her little one, she's been up since the crack of dawn and probably a lot of the night too. I challenge you to stop being so inconsiderate and actually think about others.
