'To the man who stole my carspot…you’re an a-hole!'

EXCLUSIVE: "The lack of respect for parents is disgusting."

Aussie mum Susan Izzet says she was in the car park of her local shops when a man on his own raced in and "stole" the space she'd been waiting for.

She now exclusively tells Kidspot that the space was "Allocated as priority for parents with prams" and that "The lack of respect people have for parents with kids is disgusting."

"The lack of respect for parents is disgusting"

Susan was so upset about the incident that she posted a furious TikTok rant, and now explains to Kidspot why it had bothered her so much.

"I was so upset and sound aggressive [in the clip] because a guy with no baby seat, no pram, no child, stole the spot I was patiently waiting for."

She adds: "It frustrated me because it was designated for parents with prams.

"I came off entitled apparently [in the clip] because yes, it's not against the law to park there, but it's been allocated as a priority for parents with prams .

"The lack of respect people have for parents is disgusting. That's the entire point of the video."

Susan received some hefty backlash to her post, which is why she wanted to give it some context.

"I rambled on about rain and c-sections and walking far with children in dangerous car parks, but the entire point was to highlight that people should have more courtesy regarding allocated parks and help a new mum out when she's recovering [from birth]. 

"People have no compassion these days."

She agreed with the summary that she wasn't "entitled, but was exhausted."

"I'm going to start a Karen trend"

Recording in her car after the incident, Susan began in her TikTok, "I'm going to start a Karen trend and bitch when I need to bitch."

She continued with her belief that pram parks are there for "Mums and kids, because we need the extra room, we take longer to get in and out with a pram, and with a newborn and toddler - especially when you just had a baby and you've just been cleared [to drive] and you're a bit slower.

"You don't want to be walking in the rain to the shops with a pram, you want to be a little bit closer.

"It is a designated space for mums with kids for a reason. People, stop taking the car spots!"

In response, viewers shared their own perspectives, with one writing, "First in first served, especially if the parking lot is already packed and busy."

Another brutally said, "This makes me want to park there more now, thank you."

This mum showed little empathy; "I'm a mum of 5 and never needed any special park spot.. I had 4 sections too.. People are allowed to park there , it's not against the law."

But there were many supportive, like this commenter who said, "100%. Although dads use it too, and I encourage my husband to use them if I'm not with him but he has our son."

This viewer also agreed: "100% yes!!! When you have multiple kids in car seats you NEED the extra width! And for those who say ‘we never had those in my day’ you also didn’t have to work and have less time!"
