Parking spots for expectant mothers/young children Parking, children, young, expectant, mothers

In the past few years more and more shopping malls have started to allocate a few parking spots for families where the mom was expecting or they have young children. When I first saw it I thought it was a great idea because I have friends who have young kids and I know they have soooo much stuff to carry with them when they bring the baby out. Now that I'm expecting I appreciate this more as I don't want to walk anymore than I need to!

Today lunch I went to Richmond's public market where they have ... 3-4 of those spots? Just as I was parking I see this young couple who just bought BBtea coming out and going into the car in the spot that has the expectant mom/young children designation...I don't know why but I feel very disgusted that people don't respect the parking signs!

Shame on these people for taking those spots. The sad thing is I actually saw Asian doing this more than Caucasian. However, I also saw some families w/ young kids (or seniors) stopping right in front of the mall entrence unloading passengers, sometimes blocking the whole road all the way to the parking entrance or creating a long lineup behind them. I don't like that even I understand they have difficulty because they can stop their cars in one of those minor aisles close to the mall entrance (aside, not in the middle of the aisle). Really, it is not necessary to make convenience for themselves by making inconvenience for other people.

That can be, I can give them the benefit of the doubt. But they all must be in the first few month ...

I hear you.... I had to walk with my broken shoulder a bit far from the doctor's office because all the NON patients took the patients' only parking spots!!!
I didn't drive and I thought I was well enough to walk a little so my bf didn't drop me off at the entrance.

Agreed..
Pregnant women actually don't need those parking spots as they need to walk "more". LOL...

It is all those "get over it" people that promoted all these bad behaviors.

That can be, I can give them the benefit of the doubt. But they all must be in the first few months of pregnancy because none of the girls have a tummy!

But the point of having those spots is for people who need them...when I was 3-4 months pregnant I didn't take those because I can still walk normally. Recently I feel more tired because the baby's growing and so I think its good to have those spots. Same thing with small children and needing to bring their strollers/huge baby bags/etc.

I think unless you are in those groups (really handicapped, or really pregnant or have young kids) it is hard to understand the frustration you feel when you see this happening.
