For me,...CC, I think you were right to park there. For me, I wanted to hike to the door when I was the size of a Buick. Hoping that I could stimulate a birth. I don't think I cared about parking close until I had 3 kids, and stupid me only 2 hands. I was terrified, each and every trip through the parking lot. <BR/><BR/>How do you hold them all???<BR/><BR/>I think the spots should be saved for mothers with children. PERIOD! It is just safer.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, and if your unstable - what's that mean for me???Denise Mallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13253101883627114010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24501094.post-60466896847187532972007-03-12T11:30:00.000-04:002007-03-12T11:30:00.000-04:00Yeah, I think they should make the whole "near hal...Yeah, I think they should make the whole "near half" of the parking lot reserved for people with small children--ESP babies with car seats. It's way harder to lug the car seat to the store than it is to walk one's pregnant self to the store.....I always thought it was weird too--people hold doors for pregnant women, a time when a woman can still open a door for herself, but as soon as the baby is born and she is pushing a stroller? That is when the woman must figure out how to get the door open herself. AT least, that's how it seemed to me.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I obsess majorly over issues that never actually come up. In your situation, I would have written an elaborate script in my head to respond to anyone who did say anything to me.....and would have revisted the script several times over the following days, to make sure it had the appropriate proportions of contriteness, passive aggression, and humor. (Or to practice each style by itself!)Giddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04895428169080381574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24501094.post-3096034313340288512007-03-11T19:24:00.000-04:002007-03-11T19:24:00.000-04:00First - yes, I do have weird internal struggles in...First - yes, I do have weird internal struggles in my head all. the. time. <BR/>Speaking as one who has been on both sides - preggers and adopting - I really wish they'd had spaces like that when I was expecting. I remember feeling (and actually being) so much huger than my normal self and then Hubby parks next to a truck and I literally could not.get.out of the car because there wasn't enough space and I just sat there and cried. (hormoes, y'know) So if those spaces have extra width like the handicapped ones then I say they are awesome. However, if we're talking a stroller issue then I say you have as much right to that space as any new mom because running into a store with 3 little kids is really hard and stressful and the less parking lot to cross, the better!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
