I hate door dings, but I also can't stand trying to wedge myself (and the Crazies) into our doors just to avoid hitting someone else!

If I've got the kids and they're going to be walking, I try not to park too far away. But I won't circle around and around or wait for someone to pull out just to get a closer spot. Nothing wrong with parking a little further back and getting a bit more exercise! :o)reanbeanhttp://www.reanbean.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-72218988202450990742011-03-28T12:03:12.129-05:002011-03-28T12:03:12.129-05:00I see nothing wrong with this practice. If you ask...I see nothing wrong with this practice. If you ask me... it is going out of your way to be considerate of everyone involved.

When I don't, someone inevitably parks next to me, hugging the line next to me and making it nearly impossible for me to get my girls back in the car. There are several times we've had to practically suck in our breath, walk sideways and hope we can squeeze in the door.Quadmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811147214370454309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-36231328071788555872011-03-28T07:50:52.804-05:002011-03-28T07:50:52.804-05:00You've inspirted me, Mandy!

I, too, park far away, so that I have spots open on either side of me, so that I can maneuver the stroller to both sides of the car without any problem. <br /><br />I get SO frustrated when someone, for whatever reason, decides that my car needs a friend, and parks RIGHT next to us, so that I can't comfortably, or at all, get the stroller in between the cars. I makes me nervous to leave the stroller so far from me as I put one of the girls in their carseat. <br /><br />You have inspired this girl to start parking illegally. <br /><br />P.S. I still totally use the new and expectant mother parking at the grocery store (with my husband there with me). I know the girls are now over a year, but I figure since I got a two for one special, I'm entitled.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227900123820813021noreply@blogger.com
