[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 452543, member: 84"] There was a couple of times I forced easy child to let me park in the disabled spot when I took her out shopping, she was NOT happy. But these were the first weeks after her accident and crutching even a few feet risked falls and such and heck that is usually where the darn ramp for the wheelchair is located anyway. She did not have a placard. I didn't care. One look at her would be obvious enough she needed it. Soon as her pain levels were down and she was more steady on the crutches we never used it again. It took me an eternity to get mother in law to ask her doctor for one.......he'd have given it to her years before he did, in fact when she did finally ask I found out he'd been trying to give her one for indeed years. omg That would've made her outings so much more pleasant and less painful. I have seen those who abuse them. Sit and wait for an employee to get off work at around mid-night and you'll see more than your fair share of them. Not saying some of them don't have a medical condition, but would be really hard to tell which came first as we're talking severely morbidly obese to the nth degree here......and these are girls in their early 20's, so I'm guessing it's likely more over eating related than medically related. But I try not to jump to conclusions that way. easy child is "morbidly" obese, mostly because she is so darn short, but it's due to her hypothyroidism. She's losing weight but it's ohhhhh sooooo slow. I get mad when like my mom makes snarky remarks about her weight. She's on the medications and she's doing the best she can. The fact that she's NOT gaining and IS losing is wonderful. ugh [/QUOTE]
