Expectant mother parking spots ::vent::

CrazyCurlsCrazyCurls
in 3rd Trimester

My grocery store has 6 spots that say expectant mothers/parents with young kids...the past few times I have gone they are all taken and I catch ppl who even if they may be like 15w pg, they don't seem to be struggling to and from store...arrrgg

 I am VERY pregnant and would very much appreciate it if they left the spots alone!!!!  Same with BRU, I know we must all be pg but hey, if you can walk to and from with ease, maybe leave the spot open for someone who can't!

    I know how you feel.  It makes you want to give every person in the store an evil eye cause it just might be them that took the parking spot.

    DH always comments that I'm a weirdo because I still won't let him park in those spots when we're out. I told him, when I can't walk the extra 15 feet comfortably, you can park there, but for now I'm going to leave them open for someone who really needs them.?

    Yeah, I would never park in those spots unless I had to- and if I was that uncomfortable I probably wouldn't be out shopping anyway. But I can totally see how useful they would be in places where you have to worry about slipping on ice, I'd probably use them all the time in that case.

    I park in them, I don't care really. I'm not saying this in the biitchy tone it's going to come across as, but if you're having that hard of a time walking ask your Dr. for a temp handicapped parking sticker.

    I understand your frustrations, but whether you are 8 weeks or 38 weeks PG the parking spots are for anyone Pregnant. You never know what issues a person may be having with a pregnancy to judge that they can walk further just because they are not VERY pregnant. If someone can't walk from the parking lot to a grocery store, they shouldn't be out shopping anyways. JMO

    Ooooh...this is so one of my pet peeves too.  I almost reamed out some old hag who was parked in the expectant mothers spot last week when I went to the grocery store.  Obviously, she was past child-bearing years.  I decided not to create a scene, and I didn't want my blood pressure to spike.  After the fact, though, I wish I would have called her out and made her feel like the big b*itch that she is.

    I need to move were you all live. No stores have special parking for pregnant women or families with young children here.

    as i was coming out of the grocery store a few weeks ago, i watched a non-pg woman (or if she was, she wasn't showing at all) get into her car that was parked in the "stork" parking. i may have kicked my waddle into gear and hoped she saw me Embarrassed

    Meh, you have no idea what they're dealing with. Maybe they have horrid m/s that makes walking suck ass. Maybe their asthma has flared up since being pregnant and walking sucks ass. Maybe they have bad sciatica that makes walking sucks.

    I wish they had spots like that here. I know in a month or so when it gets really hot, I'm going to be miserable!

    I parked in one of those spots yesterday at BRU for the first time.  I didn't feel like I needed to park there before.  But like other people said, who knows if they have sciatica, etc.
