The "Parking for Expectant Mothers" or "Mothers With Small Children" Rant

Ok, I'm a new father, three months old, greatest thing to ever happen to me.

Here's the problem, the mall. Now there are a certain number of reserved spaces for parents for small children or expectant mothers. The problem, You! Yes, You! The guy (or girl, but especially the guy) who is clearly not pregnant, and has no small children, in fact no children! Park somewhere else. Those spots are there for a reason. You try hauling a car seat, stroller and the works across a rutted frozen parking lot at minus 40 degrees.

Maybe we need some kind of pass, like handicapped parking. You register for it, it expires, you need to prove you have a baby, or are pregnant. Or maybe, just maybe the mall "cops" should do their jobs and start towing some cars!

Either way at the mall (St. Vital Center), there are lines and lines of cars parked in mothers with small children spots, and not a baby seat to be seen. Grow up people! You can walk the extra 40 feet, your 18 year old body can handle it!
