4 year old tantrum

Tonight Travis went on a bike ride and I took Sam and Brett to the park. We were having a good time on the merry go round and finally Brett asked to stop. Sam agreed and so we stopped. Brett got off and Sam said she wanted to be pushed some more. I said we should take a break and then could come back later. She proceeded to stomp her foot at me. She knows she isn't supposed to do that. I said "I'm not pushing you any more tonight". She started to whine at me.

Then we were playing on the slide and she said "I don't like you!" Well that did it. I was done with her attitude for the evening and I told her so. She asked me to push her on the swing and I said "since you don't like me, I don't think I need to help you". Tears and more tears followed. I held my ground. I still feel guilty though.
