 Taking care of your kids seems like a basic parental obligation, right? Well, not for this guy. One man took to Reddit to share that he had checked out of his parental duties after his wife shouted he was 'not the father' to her kids in a heated argument. He refused to take them to doctor's appointments, drop them off at school or even tell one of his step-children his opinion on what sport he should play at school. The step-dad wrote: 'My wife and I have been married for about four years. She brought three kids from previous relationships into the marriage, while I have none. 'They moved into my house after the marriage because I live in a better school district. 'Obviously we've had our ups and downs, but overall it's been good, until a couple of weeks ago when I woke up and found a large dent running down the entire passenger side of my car.' The husband and wife were arguing over disciplining their 16-year-old (Picture: Getty Images) Furious, the man checked their doorbell camera to investigate, thinking someone had knocked his car and driven off. 'I was surprised to see our 16-year-old daughter sneaking out of the house in the middle of the night and driving off in my car. She later returned hours later stumbling into the house,' he said. 'I angrily showed my wife the recording and told her our daughter needs to be punished but she said that she'll talk to her. I argued that talk isn't enough which led us into an argument. 'My wife argued that the new family dynamic has been hard on the kids while I argued that, it doesn't excuse the damage done to my car. I wanted her to agree to ground our daughter from social media and make her get a job to pay for the damage. 'We argued for hours until she said I don't get a say in any punishment because I'm not her father. That ended the argument and I walked off.' Since then, the man said he was 'checked out' of parental duties, including driving the kids to doctor's appoin){kind=link}
