Ds aged 3 will not stay with me at shops.
Won't go in or stay in a shopping trolley, climbs out screaming and performing.
Won't hold my hand on car parks.
I frequently have to leave shopping trolley and handbag to run out of the shop onto the car park to retrieve him.
He runs off around the isles, out of the door, just a total fuckng nightmare.
I have started going shopping in the evenings without him but can't do this all of the time.
I give him his little kindle to watc stuff, but this gets thrown across the shop.
Little pot of sweets/fruit/toys. Again, ends up thrown.
I dread it, I am on the ceiling with anxiety when we pull into the car park.
Just had a horrific screaming, squirming, running away situation where I just had to grab him, shove him in his car seat and leave, minus any shopping, I just couldn't face another second of it.
What have you done that works.
