Yep, you've made that pretty clear. However, if your Mom had felt the
same way, you wouldn't be here, now would you?

I think it's safe to say that you're in the minority when it comes to
not wanting kids - just look at the world population. And IMHO, getting
annoyed about a few parking spaces offered to pregnant Moms and/or
parents with children by the various stores/supermarkets is only going
to raise your blood pressure - it's not going to make the
stores 'reallocate' them. As Boron pointed out somewhere else in this
thread, the stores do it to 'keep their clientele happy'. It is indeed
an added incentive to shop there - which seems to work.
