How do I punish my kids
I've tried everything so they can just behave but they won't listen and I've had enough.

Punishment isn't really an efficient means to solicit proper behavior, according to child psychology. Which you could study up on, had you the inclination. Rather, treating kids as they are--little humans--incentivizing them could work better. Rewarding good behavior, rather than punishing bad behavior.
But, end of the day. Like I said, kids are just tiny humans. So, think about how someone could get you to do something or not do something. Forcing humans to do things doesn't work very well. They tend to rebel against it, or crush under the pressure. And punishment usually just results in resentment of the one doing the punishing, leading to more rebellion.
Though. I've only read one psychology textbook, so I'm not exactly qualified. Just my opinion really
