Love, bubs and life on our little farm

OK so most days I don't burden anyone else with my little internal annoyances. Although it is all the trend to twitter or facebook it for everyone to know, I haven't quite got to that consistant level of sharing.

But today I was at a big shopping centre. I avoided the crowded stressy looking groups of cars circling the close parks and instead gave thanks to my healthy body and parked on the outer edge of the carpark and loaded the kids into the stroller and headed in (sidenote- I so much prefer parking further out as then no one wants your park when you are leaving so you don't have an audience waiting impatiently for you to load two kids and umpteen things into the car making you feel rushed). But anyway, as I got to the shop entrance, I noticed that the disabled car spaces were across the busy lane from the shops and that there were heaps and heaps of pram parks provided instead directly around the shop entrance and not a single disabled space on the convient side.

This theme continued at every shop entrance I saw as I passed by them shopping. In one spot, the pram parks and disabled parks were in a line near the entrance but it was the pram parks that were given the closer location again. What the?

Does anyone else think this is a little wrong?

Sure kids are a handful and I don't want to see a little toddler hit by a car or anything. But far out, kids are not a disability. Far from it.

I was disappointed and a little ashamed to be a user of pram parks. I will NOT be using any pram park that is given accessibility priority over the disabled spaces, I can say that much.
