I'm with you there. In Dec. 2006, at the Hyatt Lake Tahoe. One night, when we arrived at the club for some dessert, there was this dad and his son there. The dad was on his cell phone speaking very loudly. The son, about 5 years old, was running all over the club reeking havoc, literally damaging things, and very rude to anyone politely asking him to stop doing some of the things he was doing. My daughters, ages 4 and 6 were completely appalled by the boy's behavior. (They understand, no ifs and buts, any acting out in any public setting, and you are immediatley removed from that setting). Someone nearby said it's been like that for 30 minutes already. The RC staff person was afraid to say anything. After about 10 minutes, I couldn't take it anymore and was about to confront the dad. Someone beat me to it. They stood nose to nose for many minutes but stopped short of throwing punches. At this point, everyone else left the club, and the manager on duty was called. After the manager talked to both of them, I went up to him to support the person who confronted, and I went to the dad and told him how incredibly rude I thought he and his child was.
