Qucik question, Im not sure what to do. Last night I promised my DD4 and DD2 that if they went to bed when they were told then they could go to the park and feed the ducks today.

My problem is that DD2 was an angel and did what she was told but DD4 was not

I obviously cant leave DD4 at home by herself, so do we go to the park and she gets a treat even though she was naughty or does DD2 not get her treat as promised???

Maybe I will take them and only DD2 can throw the bread

Any suggestions

It might be a bit hard for D4 to sit and not throw bread and there might be major tantrums and ruin the whole outing in the process.
Maybe let it go this time, have fun feeding ducks and then at the next "bribing" (which all of us do ) make it something that can be only for 1 child. Eg gets to sit in the front seat or while the other is occupied you could do drawing together or something special that they like.
Gosh i didnt realise how hard its going to be until i had to think about it just then!
Sorry im not much help, ive just confused myself!
Let us know how it goes

I actually like your suggestion Alianasmummy about having something only one of them can do. Will be watching this thread with interest tho coz it's an issue that seems to come up often at multiple birth club.

Personally I would take them both out, but only let the one who behaved feed the ducks. In my opinion, you need to stick to your guns as I would imagine it will only make things harder in the long run - she'll get the idea that even if she is naughty she'll still get to have the treats.

Perhaps both of them can feed the ducks but DD2 could do something special like hold the duck food? Just something a little extra?
