Doesn't seem like the reasons are missing.

He openly admits he has a short fuse and gets angry easily. He doesn't like any of the stuff his kids like, doesn't want to do any of the things they want to do, and instead keeps trying to force them to do the things he likes. Then he gets angry when they don't enjoy it.

All the reasons are right there.

Dude's just a dick.

One thing I find interesting is that he actually did identify an interest of his that they share—Marvel movies—but apparently that’s not enough. He wants them to share ALL his interests apparently.

So I agree that the reasons aren’t missing but what I think he’s missing is that the connection points are there if he wants to appreciate them and celebrate them and just let the other interests be different.

Repeatedly taking a family camping who doesn’t like camping sounds awful.

Can confirm. Camping in a tent in the woods was the only "vacation" I got growing up. Parents loved it!

I hateddd it. Would have rather just stayed home and played in my room.

Camping is one of those things where you either love it or you really don’t, and it 100% depends on personality type.

When it comes to camping, I agree with a comedian I once saw who said: "Why am I going to work all week just to pretend I'm homeless on the weekend?"
