Urgent, am I being too hard on ds

Ds is 6. I'm Tuesdays I look after him, and dsd, dss1 and dss2 while dh works. Usually the scs mum picks them up but she's just had minor surgery so can't drive. The dscs mum lives about a 40 min walk away so I usually take them back to hers on the bus.

When I announced it was time to leave to get the bus, ds went mental, he was playing on the iPad and I guess didn't want to leave it. He screamed the place down, tears and everything, and I found it really stressful. When I told him to stop being so silly and be quiet he just screamed louder. He then refused to wear his hood outside.
. I've told him he is going straight to bed after his bath. He is really upset about this. Am i being too harsh?

and don't stress the clothes - hood or not, coat or not, they will soon learn when they are cold (I am assuming reasonable average day, not -10!)
