Parking wars....

I don't know why I even bother but for some reason I do. As I was pulling into a parking lot at a local shopping center about a week ago, 2 men pulled in directly in front of me. They proceeded to park in a spot that was clearly marked for new and expectant mothers, both of which I am. I can honestly say that I was furious. I don't typically say anything but when people are so offensive in nature it really upsets me. I know that there are people out there that park in handicap spots who aren't disabled in any way and that's just as bad. Have some decency folks. If you carried a baby for 9 months and then had to carry a diaper bag, a infant carrier with child, bags & a purse.... maybe you would understand. It's not so simple to juggle a child around and carry another one. I'd like to see a man do it then complain how us women wine. Oh and don't get me wrong, there are just as many rude woman out there that are guilty of the same thing. I've seen many who aren't pregnant or struggling with a newborn park in places specifically designed for this purpose. It's really awful to assume that nobody needs that spot.
