The are into this whole 'love and logic' parenting, which is a complete failure. They need to investigate the far more effective, "I'm gonna light your little ass up like Christmas with my belt, then send you to your room you little *****" parenting.

Friends of mine have two kids, 5 and 9, like that. The girl thinks it is okay to hit adults. The mother is very much into 'love and logic' parenting. The father believes in the belt. The kids respect the father, when he says stop, they stop. The mother tries to bargain (and fails). I will not go anywhere where I know the kids will be and the father won't be present.
The thing that really pisses me off is that if some coworkers and I meet the wife for lunch (and the father is not present), she will seat the kids at the other end of the table from herself, ignore the kids the whole meal, and they will be uncontrolled holy terrors. Whoever is sitting near them has to put up with them. She won't do a damn thing about the kids misbehaving, but will be quick to jump all over anyone who does.
