40-year-old father and teacher leaves 15-year-old daughter's musical early, family refuses to go to the musical at the school where he works: ‘He had not bothered to sit through his own daughter's [performance]’

In this world, you get what you give. Relationships are a two-way street and you have to walk down towards someone else's end for someone to want to walk back your way too. Though people might put up with more from their family members than they would from a complete stranger or new acquaintance, the same still applies to these relationships, too. Some people are just generally lousy in the effort they put toward their family members and it really reflects poorly on them. Take, for instance, this father who went all Spongebob and said "Aight, Imma Head Out" in the middle of his daughter's musical.

You'd think that of all people, your own children would be the ones that you'd be willing to selflessly go the whole way for in order to celebrate and encourage them in their efforts and development. It really goes a long way toward your confidence and future success to have your parents there cheering you on and encouraging you on something you've worked really hard on—even if it means sitting through a painfully out-of-key and off-tempo middle school music recital.

$Update: Thank you for all the responses. I appreciate the suggestions and comments. This behavior from my husband has been escalating the past few years and I suppose I wanted to have some validation that I wasn't overreacting. I also understand that this reflects more than just one situation and shows how fractured the relationship is between my husband myself and my kids. I've been trying to get us$
