I lived in a street opposite a school. The same happened to me and other residents. When asking the mothers not to park there you were verbally abused. The residents used to call them the four wheel drive brigade.
You wonder why when people say to me put your mum in a aged care home (she was 100 last october) and I say no. She needs someone with her 24/7 and her mind is now going. My conscience would not allow this to happen.
I asked at my local shopping centre if you needed a sticker like you do for disabled. No they said, so anyone can park there. mind you do not why seniors have to have special parking when there are not enough disabled.
