Oh, my! She wants to walk as much as possible, so you choose possibly the closest place to park rather than allow her to get in another 50 to 100 steps. Do you have any idea how far she travels while shopping? She, apparently, does not require your help or assistance.
And being dropped off and picked up make her "feel like an invalid"? Funny that walking to and from the car in "handicapped parkin only" doesn't make her feel the same.
Well, it really isn't any of my business whether you really need to use the handicapped spaces, or just use it for convenience.
