Enough is enough.

My teenage son didn’t come home again last night. Enough is enough - it’s time for him to move out of the house. Enough is enough. I know you like sweets, but enough is enough. If you eat the entire box of candy there won’t be anything left for other people. Enough is enough. What does it mean?

“Enough is enough” means a person has done something excessively, usually past the point of being satisfied. You say “enough is enough” when you think the person should stop. It’s often used when someone can no longer tolerate another person’s behavior. “Tommy, enough is enough! If you don’t stop hitting your sister I’m going to send you to your room without dinner!”
