I think in this context the dad was getting annoyed of the kids fighting each other. Therefore "j'en ai marre" can be appropriate.
Can I use "j'en ai marre" instead of "ça suffit" ?

Hi Winston,
The english says -
That's enough !
and the correct answer is
Ça suffit !
The expression -
J'en ai marre ! is much stronger and would probably translate as :
I am fed up/ I am done/ I have had it up to here!
which conveys how the person saying it, is feeling but
Ça suffit !
means,
Stop that behaviour!
Hope this helps!
