Question

why was the woman so upset at asda today when my 55 year old father drop off his son(me) aged 28 in the parent and child space and waited for 15 mins till i returned

theres no age limit stated on the spaces

Answer 1

Now you are being funny.  Unfortunately, yes, there are people like that  who make it really difficult for mum's like me.  That have 4 children of my own, (2 of them I have with me during the day), they are twins aged 2. But also child-mind two others.  All 4 being under 4.  So you can just imagine what performance it is.  

Unfortunately, I would not want to make a big issue out of it.  But can you really see it from my point of view.

Answer 2

no but there should be i think 12 & under is fine, my kids are past this but i wouldnt park in a child space.My hubby would thou

Answer 3

Thats right you still a kid, keep doing it you will be 9yrs soon

Answer 4

You are right...but when you grow tall and nearly 30, you are no longer considered a child.

Answer 5

I never thought of that ...thanks

Answer 6

love it!!!  

I always park in these spaces after 7 cos i think all children shoudl be home having bath and bedtime by then!!

A woman shouted at my diabled mum (extremely arthritic and cannot walk far) recently for parking in a child spot - th woman had a child aged about 4 with her so my mum just smiled sweetly at her and pointed at her ears to pretend she was deaf!!

Answer 7

Quite right. There is too much discrimination going on against childless people these days

Answer 8

You are right.

Parent and child spaces are meant to be for mothers with babies, to make loading a pram easier but I regularly see mothers with children as old as 10 using parent and child parking spaces. You and your father have as much right to be in the space as them. You gave me a good laugh by the way.

Answer 9

Could be because some people think that parent and child means just that, e.g.  a parent with a 4yr old not a fully grown adult.

Answer 10

Normal, decent people generally regard adulthood starting at 18. I guess that you prove that there will always be someone with total disregard for others and the difficulties caused by doing what you have described.

Answer 11

lmao....i wonder why too.

Answer 12

Its toddlers! But I get the same feelings when I see the disabled drivers that have nowt wrong with them!

Answer 13

He he, it's a cruel world.

Next time call the police, no don't do that they might hurt you.

Yeah...

...cruel world.
