Gripe about Expectant Mother's Parking

Ok...
I'm about to be bitchier than usual, but I think I'm a teeny bit justified.
I have been honest all these years in not parking in the "Expectant Mothers Parking" spots that you see at local retail establishments with huge parking lots. Now that I'm expecting and tired 3/4 of the time, I do appreciate those few places where I don't have to walk a half a mile to get to my destination.
Today I decided to expand my butt further (hell, it's already doing it, so why not enjoy?) and go to Chik-fil-a. There is a parking spot for expectant moms right outside the entrance I need to get to.
I'm driving, and I notice there's a car already there. Darn. It's usually taken by women further along than me, so I obviously have no reason for complaint.
BUT TODAY....
It was inhabited by this MAN with a KID and a stroller. Um, mufukka, you are NOT pregnant! I could see if there was a woman in the car, even if she didn't look it, who could tell?
This guy got out of the car, got his kid who was way too big for that stroller, loaded kid up, and carried the stroller up the steps to the mall.
Dude had this huge sweat stain on his back, which was probably from carrying that kid who had to be six-years-old around. I'm sorry, but once my munchkin hits four, you're gonna be walking. Better to sleep at night, my dear. For you and me!
I felt kind of perturbed, because this guy obviously would have played the "I can't read English" card. He was Hispanic, and they always do that around here, especially when in court for tickets and the like. I've seen it far too often.
I wanted to smack that man! You get to park in MY space because you have some oversized kid in a stroller that looks like it's gonna break?
Ok...insane rant over. But I swear, I wanted to write on his car somehow, "tu no es embarazada!"
Humph.
