Yep, thats one of my pet peeves as well Jimbo. Life is a lot easier for kids when their parents are predictable. I know a Dad who will constantly work his kids up into a frenzy of noise and destruction and suddenly he can't take it anymore and needs a break from them. The kids don't know that no means no, so they ignore him or negotiate him away from whatever random stance he last took. It makes me nervous to be around them, especially near traffic because the kids don't listen and will dart into the road etc...
