[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No shows, no dessert tonight for starters _ and I told the other one he wasn't going to be allowed to go to local income daycare this summer (where little brother goes and he wants to go) because his behavior wasn't good enough for that environment where she can't have big kids who act like babies. I don't even know what else an appropriate punishment is.

To the pp who said we should leave immediately most of this started as we were in the process to leave? How should I handle Then? I felt like I couldn't walk into parking lot befor3 things were under control but ultimately did.[/quote]

This was, at most, a half hour of misbehavior.  The kid is FOUR.  The punishment needs to end today.  You can't extend it to this summer.  You can't pile on sixteen different things for ONE bad outting.  Chill out.  No shows and no dessert is plenty.[/quote]

THIS.  Taking away summer childcare makes zero sense in this context. Let it all go. This is done with and you all survived.

PS Don't go to costco on weeknights with little kids. They are tired, you are tired, everyone is tired.  If you need dinner and MUST go to a grocery store in the evening, you need to have your game ready to go. Get them something they can drink or eat while in the cart, and everyone has to stay in the cart, with a nice bribe for right afterward.

These years are hard, OP. HARD.  But they get easier. I can send my teen out to get things at the store now!  I can grocery shop with my tween and it is easy peasy. You will get there.
