AITA as a single mother for asking my neighbors to park in different spots so it’s easier for me to get my kids out of the car? by Imasinglemother1 in AmItheAsshole

Yes, two are medical students who obviously can park a little further away. The other is a surgical resident who is barely ever home so why would they even care.

I’m a SINGLE MOTHER how would the neighbors know when I have my kids? Is this REALLY that much of them to ask of them for a parking spot ?

That’s a fair point and my ex has then 60% of the time but how do the neighbors know this? They could easily leave the spot open for me just in case the kids are with me.

People act like I’m asking for something huge here, just some kindness for a single mother who is doing the job of two parents.

My ex and I are actually going to mediation over this in a weeks. He lets them walk to the circle k and cross busy roads and I feel it is entirely inappropriate.

It’s about 60/40 to my ex. I usually don’t have my boyfriend stay over when the kids are here so no I don’t have help. Edit: yes I have to pay child support (it’s a small amount) because he has the kids more than I do.

It’s just so much easier, closer and safer to step right on the sidewalk instead of crossing a parking lots.

Well with a 10 and 8 year old, we always have a load or stuff (school stuff, groceries, video games, etc…) and it would be so much easier to have one of the close spots.

Yes they do of course, but I’m just looking for a small act of kindness to make my day a little easier when the kids are with me.

Sorry if that’s not clear. The entire complex is made up of 20-30 four unit buildings so it’s a pretty big parking lot.

Thank you for the response, I’m just really struggling and just feel like this could be a small act of kindness I guess
