My eldest was still only 5 when my 4th child came along, so I know what parking and shopping with little ones is like. That was in the days when there were no such things as spaces reserved for parents with prams and the like. If it’s not marked as a special parking space, then it is not a special parking space. People do not have to live their lives differently to accommodate someone else who chose to have children. What’s more, even if I did still have little ones, I would never park in this parking spot. The metal railings would make it impossible for me to open my car door wide enough to accommodate reaching in and getting out a child.

Unspoken rule means shut your face and move onto something important .Unspoken can be found on the wrong end of a cow.

To be honest ive never heard or even thought about this unspoken rule. I kind of thought thats what the parents with prams parks were for? I totally get that its hard with kids sometimes ( I have 4) but there are already designated parks so I wouldn’t think twice about parking in one that wasn’t.

Unspoken rules are not an official rule and you can frankly discard them. There are specific parking spots assigned for cars holding a pram or disability parking spots for those who’re disabled and have a permet: these are cear rules that should be respected (but sadly most often they are disregarded).

What unspoken rule? This is ridiculous and I have never heard of it. Assuming everyone has is a bit silly. If anyone crossed my mind it would be elderly or disabled needing these spots more. We’ve all survived these years and managed. The sense of entitlement, over many areas, is surprising nowadays.

Unspoken rules fall into the same category as myths and because they are not official rules or solid fact it is impossible to hear about them, know about them or follow them. Car parks and parking etiquette always seems to cause angst with some people and to manage this, we choose to park away from other cars and benefit from walking.

When my kids were little, sure, I liked to be fairly close to the entrance – one of my kids has a disability and it could be challenging to manage them all in a carpark – but I didn’t consider myself “entitled” to anything. Maybe a parents carpark if I was lucky.

I have never heard of this rule, ever. Personally, I think it is something made up by a few mothers who want their own way – I always parked as far away from the entrances to the supermarket as I possibly could. Gave me time to instill into my kids some road rules, while chatting to them about all and sundry as we walked to the shops. More lessons on the way back to my car which hadn’t been damaged by other shoppers in the centre and I had an added advantage of all the walking made my darling children hungry for dinner and also tired out so they went to bed reasonably early without a peep!

I have never heard of the rule… however to say that…

The entitlement of ‘mamas’ like you is exactly what makes me want to say I’m going to exclusively use the handicap-accessible stall in bathrooms.

… is a long bow to draw. Accessible toilets, accessible parking and parent with pram parking are not related commodities. I think both videos are poorly stated.

It all comes back to being thoughtful and considerate towards others.

I have never ever heard of this unspoken rule and never ever been interested in parking in a spot close to the trolley bay. I prefer to park away from other cars and trolleys and to walk for a number of good reasons. Unless a car park is marked and designated with a label then it is available to park in for everyone.

Mum of 6, 5 of them 15 and under youngest not even 2. I have never in my life have I heard of this nonsense and my eldest is 25. I personally like to park where others won’t park next to me no even if it’s a bit further out, I like my car I don’t want it scratched when others just throw their trolleys at the bay and they get that full they are loaded next to the bay, I will walk my trolley back to the nearest bay with the kids. But never ever heard of this unspoken rule EVER

I’ve never heard of this “rule” before, and frankly even if it exists I don’t know why it causes her to go after disabled people – they’re two different groups! (Yeah, okay, there’ll be overlap, but you know what I mean.)
