Have you ever been annoyed when people park in parent and child parking spaces who don't deserve it?
Well one mum has certainly felt the rage and went viral with her social media post about the issue.
The mum-of-two, who is expecting her third child, launched a tirade against parkers without children, or those with teenagers who do not need the parking spot.
She said the matter was one of safety and "children's lives are more important" than where people want to park, Manchester Evening News reports.
She wrote: "A teenager is not a child. A 15-year-old that can just jump out of the car does not need to be parked here, protected from traffic.
"Maybe if they lifted their face from their phones for 5 minutes, they’d learn how to cross the road. God forbid your precious child has to walk more than 30ft."
She continued: "Just because you’ve decided to spend a large amount on a new car or you cannot park a car that you think is a bus - you are not entitled to park here! Children’s lives are more important funnily enough."
"It’s closer to the entrance so it’s less roads, moving vehicles to come across when you have young, unpredictable children who don’t fully understand the road yet. It’s unreasonable to expect a three year old to understand the inner workings of a car park."
Masses of parents agreed with the mum and the post was shared 1.9K times in less than 24 hours.
One mum said: "This is one of my pet hates. There aren't enough parent and child spaces as it is. I've told people to move when they've parked in them without a child."
But some pointed out that 15-year-olds could still need more support, for example those with disabilities or other special needs.
After seeing the response to the post, the blogger told the MEN's Manchester Family: "Just because I haven’t written about it, doesn’t mean I’m not aware it’s a one size fits all, I’m aware there are reasons why people may park there re disabilities, especially having worked with children and adults with disabilities before."
