ASDA Parent & Child parking - fine for misuse

Wicksta said:
Dude, how often do you go shopping? Once a week tops? I'm sure your partner won't run off with the milkman during the time you're out shopping. You could even take turns in going too!

About once a month. Thats not my point though, shopping for food is an ass where women know best, howevere they will not, under any circumstances just go on their own.

Me grow up?

You're the one making silly unfounded comments based on zero life experience of parenthood.

My partner doesn't work, does that scupper your silly plan. Shes been pregnant for the last 9 months anyway. The exact reason when we do go to the supermarket i go with her. Weekend food shopping is a rather silly afair that Id rather not take part in either

Anyway, where did I say I actually went shopping, majority of mine is online delivery.

Zero life experience of parenthood? Sorry, do you know me? You're wrong I'm afraid.

Obviously if your wife is 9 months pregnant then she can't go shopping with you, and guess what brainbox - I don't mind you doing online shopping either! You've basically proved my point though that as a parent (even one with a 9month pregnant wife) you don't need to take your kids to the supermarket which is what I originally said before you started making up scenarios that don't even apply to you.

Well she (you pregnant wife) could look after the kids while you pop down the shops.

I wouldn't be able to get even half the stuff she gets together and thinks about. Shes the one cooking the stuff. Everything I'd get would be too expensive or the wrong stuff. :p

We both prefer just sitting down for an hour or so doing online groceries anyway and either caining clubcard points or discounts.

Do you condone people parking in Disabled spaces?

If someone had 4 tyres let down, bet they won't park in the spaces at that place again.

and other than tie that space up for longer what possible good is it doing other than being a mindless vandal,

What happens if someone parks in one of the disabled spaces and wonders off. You then let the tyres down. A few minutes later that same person comes back to their car, this time pushing a wheelchair with their disabled friend/relative in it to find out that someone has let their tyres down. :(

Exactly, all those not wanting to see children have plenty of time!

Yes becuase as a child I used to thoroughly enjoy thrilling family trips to Sainsburys, I looked forward to them and my parents loved using the time to 'see their children'.

Wicksta raises a good point.

Disabled spaces are for disabled badge holders only.

Oh do grow up.

What hours do you and your partner work that means over a whole week you're never both in the house together for an hour?

I'm sorry, only just seen this thread.
Since why did "we like to attempt to live in a vaguely free society" turn into, "you can't take your kids shopping".

With all due respect, until someone creates a law to prevent or the supermarkets deem otherwise, I seem to believe that IT IS MY RIGHT to chose to go shopping however I like.
If that happens to include the process of shoppnig being done in a relaxed manner, catch a Starbucks along the way, buy a couple of new DVDs and then get around to buying some groceries whilst pushing my little one around, then that is my personal choice on how to spend a hour.

If you don't like me taking my little one shopping, go use the on line method which is surely far easier for someone in the rush the clearly you are.
 
Yes that's right, I should have to change how I shop because of your lifestyle choices. Do you own a dog too? Maybe they should allow you to take your dog into the shop as well, we wouldn't want to incovenience you would we.
 
HEADRAT said:
Well that's exactly what your are asking parents to do!

No I'm not, all I said is that there is no reason for parents to take their kids shopping with them, bar some circumstances.

And yes, I am in a hurry when I go into the local supermarket - it's hardly my week's social highlight and I have far better things to be doing. I don't like online shopping because I like to choose what I'm going to buy myself, and I'm not lazy.
 
Some of the narrow minded comments from the childless lossers in this thread are brilliant, really lightened up my day. Thanks :D

Wow, if a thread like this is a highlight of an average parent's day no wonder a lot of 'lossers?' don't want kids. :D

No he does not. He is suggesting that his lifestyle should take precedence over everyone else's.

And FWIW my daughter loves going shopping in the supermarket, as do most small children IME. Personaly I try to avoid them as much as possible, full of bloody students and fishwives.

I'm serious (apart from my crappy speeling :p), the tunnel vision that some people have is amazing. The reason that people with children seem to come accross as if they know better, is because, they do (shock horror)

You forget that they've already been through the childless stage of their life before they improved themselves and had a family. They've seen both sides of the arguement.

This is why parents always get so confused at some of the posts in these threads, previously sensible posters start churning out mindless drivel. (and they're also incredibly easy to bait :D)
