Here's a novel idea, how about you get to know your family. Hey, how about skipping your three martini lunch and your afterwork dinner meeting and take your family out for a meal where you all sit and... oh, I don't know, talk. Novel concept, huh? The guy's upset over his kid's bong so he's gonna stop for a drink before he reams the kid out? Now that's setting a good example.

I know a parent can't be around their kids 24/7, but if he hadn't noticed major changes to the kid's car then something's very wrong.

exactly.
he acts like this all just happend overnight. I'd say things had been getting away from him for quite some time.
