I have done something I don't feel good about. Picked up six year old dc after school and said we had to go to the doctors.

Doctors had called and said I had some abnormal blood tests (again) and I needed to come in last minute.

Dd spent doctors appointment (10 mins) running around the room and shouting despite being told to come and sit down. dd is well aware of how to behave and that she was mis behaving. I couldn't even hear the doctor or think properly. we left and I banned the afternoon treat, and have sent her to her room to complete homework. (we would normally do it together over snacks)

she is upset and I feel really bad but so angry she played up like that in such a crucial time . Have I been too harsh on her?

She's not that young. I could read at her age and certainly was able to follow basic instructions and sit still when told.

I agree with lessthanBeau: Seriously, this is a question? kid misbehaves , gets punished. No wonder the world is abound with entitled brats if their parents are questioning basic discipline.
