Toddler tantrum

Anyone else ever had to drag their toddler out of a shop kicking and screaming because it’s happened to me twice this week and I feel like the worst mum in the world. Just went to get some shopping and I had both my children with me, 3 & nearly 2 year. Old. Forgot my trolley coin so they were both loose and kept running in different directions. My 3 year old then wanted to go on the ride along but I said no because he had kept running off but he ran to it anyway, I had my nearly 2 year old in one arm with all the shopping and then had to try and pick my 3 year old up in the other arm, he was screaming and lashing out so ended up having to hold him by the arm and pull him to the car because he kept running off and I had no spare arms. Must have looked as awful as I feel. 😭😭😭😭😭

I've had this before with two also the same ages my LG is 3.5 and my boy is 23months. I learned the same way to never go without a trolley coin 🤣 once I realised got to the shop and drove all the way home to get it and go back as not worth the trauma on my end. Although now I have the challenge of my eldest wants to sit on the front seat so I put my boy in the actual trolley which he doesn't mind but ends up opening all the food as I go around. And then it's just a fight 🙈🤦‍♀️ can have him walk as he'll swipe everything off. Just wish my local aldi had the twin prams 😢 but you're not an awful mom. Most people are in awe of those that have to wrangle two smallies around so will have massive respect. Also snacks from the shops help like the kids dried fruit or rice cakes usually keeps them busy and in good behaviour as a reward once done with the shop

Oh bless you :( they know how to push us don't they. If ever happens ask customer service , I'm sure they could give you a coin. I've also heard sticking a key in works too. Big hugs. You're a great mum, I'm sure of it xx

We had this for a while until we started going to morrisons where they have the mini trolleys my son loves pushing one around

WE HAVE ALL BEEN THERE!! The amount of times I’ve dragged kids out the shop due to them being absolute turds 😂 if any other parent judged you they are liars all kids are horrors at least once in their lives 😂 you got this and always have a back up trolley coin that’s my top tip (one in your purse, one in your pocket and one in the car- I like to have all bases covered)
