There are sometimes situations where you can't just go home or leave. Example: you cannot get a sitter every single time you need to leave the house to run an errand, like go to the store and get milk.

I think that automatically leaving a situation when a kid misbehaves can lead them to think that THEY make the decisions about where mom and dad go.

Like, a 5-year-old is more than capable of realizing that "if i don't want to be in the grocery store right now, all I have to do is act up, and then we get to leave."
