I asked the Dad what would have happened if he said he was going to count to 2? He told me not to tell him how to raise his kids. Told him I was never given any sort of time to respond. When my Dad told me to do something if I didn't respond immediately I got in trouble.

You hit the nail on the head with this one.
There is a family that attends the same church that we attend. They are always late and go to the front row. One Sunday they actually made people move as if it were their reserved seat. They have 2 young boys under age 4 and a newborn. Those two boys are wild animals. I've seen them actually hit the dad when things were not going their way. The mom usually brings a bottle of water for herself in case she gets thirsty.
One time when the kids were off the chain, I ssshhhed them from about 5 rows away. I got some looks from other people as if I were in the wrong. The dad actually took the kids out. Miracles do happen...
