Parking in parents spaces

Never gave it a second thought before I had a baby but is anyone else noticing just how many people park in parent spaces without a child?

I just wouldn’t dream of doing that if I didn’t have my child in the car.

Sooooo many people do it! What really annoys me is when people have car seats in the car, but they don't have the child with them. Surely, they're the people who understand best how much they're needed! I once saw a lady park in a parent bay to go and buy a bottle of vodka. It makes me so cross x

I went to Sainsbury’s the other day, indicating to go in the parents space but so was the car opposite and they raced me to it, so I parked in a normal spot. Before I could even get out she ran in (without any children) I was fuming!!

I always pull them up on it and tell them they’ve forgotten their baby or you do know that’s a parent and child space you’ve parked in

Oh it’s definitely become one of my pet peeves.When I go to my local supermarket,on average,about 75% of the cars parked there have no child seat in.
I think there should be a sort of badge system similar to disabled bays.You apply once your baby is born and it’s valid for say 5 years.Anyone who doesn’t display the badge gets fined 🤷🏼‍♀️

I find myself going to Waitrose & Aldi more often over Asda or Morrisons as I know there are going to be spaces in parent & child. So many inconsiderate a***holes and mainly middle aged men!

What's going on?!?!

So I had spotting last month, Feb 19 to the 22nd and if it was a very light period.. which I've never had but im also breastfeeding. I should be somewhere a round getting my next period because I usually only have 23-27 day cycles. At most I've made it 28 days and by 29, I've missed my period. Today is cycle day 28 with the spotting. I've been taking ovulation tests since then and they have been light except the past few days. And today which I thought I would be getting some kind of bleeding/spotting and I've gotten an lh surge which is throwing me off. And I just tested lh again and its even darker. Would this be ovulation or early pregnancy or just my body being all over the place? I'll put the 1st Pic of ovulation from earlier with this post and post the most recent one which was just now in the comments..I need advice as this is the 1st time I've been able to breastfeed this long with my 2nd daughter.

Strong positive early on

I got a digital clear blue positive early on, 3 days before my period was due and consistently dark lines already on daily easy@home tests(period was due 2 days ago) without any symptoms (though I have had a head cold). When I previously had chemical pregnancies with weaker test results I did have nausea. Wondering if I can tell anything from this, eg does it point towards twins or anything like that?

Bridesmaids excitement

Last week I posted about needing bridesmaids and was SOOOOO excited that so many people reached out. All I needed was 3-4 girls…. Reality hit HARD though. 60+ comments, 40+ “connections” and only ONE person has been consistent enough with responses. What happened to all the support ? I am genuinely confused by this 🤣 especially knowing that I was willing to pay for damn near everything if they couldn’t, on top of actually paying them a lump sum. Why comment publicly saying you’ll support, just to ignore me privately ? It’s not like it was short notice either…. The wedding is 14 months away 😂 14 months to create a lasting friendship with a fellow, local mom as well. Wasn’t just going to have you be a bridesmaid and that’s it!? This was to also build a friendship! Shoutout to the one girl who is actually sticking by her comment !! 💕

Period after IUD?

I had a copper iud inserted 5 weeks ago, I still haven’t had a period yet. How long did it take for you to get your period after insertion?

TTC with PCOS

I newly found out that I have PCOS and have been unable to get pregnant. I’m taking Letrozole, but haven’t started ovulating yet. I’m 22 and desperately want a baby. Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations?

Pregnant or no?

Pic taken within the timeframe test allows but line so light and it’s the day my period should come (so shouldn’t mine be darker)?
