Honestly, I think that Kurt is being a little unreasonable here. I understand why he's hurt, but his dad clearly loves him and tries very hard to be the best dad he can (didn't I sit through Riverdance three times). Yes, he can make mistakes by saying "guy talk" with Finn, but why should he avoid his girlfriend's kid?
All that being said, I think that the reaction is totally genuine for a teenager :)
Yeah, I went through that conversation in my head last night, and the "oh yeah, he's a teenager" trumps how I want him to act.
The writers have the selfish teenager, self-centric world thing perfect. I kept watching saying, "Kurt - knock it off.", but also remembering how I felt when my dad did "guy" things with my sister instead of me.

I was just coming in to say this.
God bless the folks who survived my teen 'tude. Ugh. I was like a less-appealing Godzilla. Seriously, I cringe at how incredibly selfish I was. I'd especially like to take this moment to apologize to my step grandmother who graciously hauled my petulant ass across the country in a car to introduce me to her Kansas relatives (from CA!) so that I could feel more like family and get away from my accursed father. She was a saint and I was very Kurt-like. It was as if I was chemically compelled to situational deaf-muteness.
That said, I am with Morgana on the Kurt-His Dad relationship. It really is my favorite, so I hope they resolve the conflict soon...with a duet!

Oh gosh, what on earth would they sing?
Even as I cringed at the Nazi mention, I did totally snort at the hating Duke thing.
Dear Gods -
Please let Kurt and his Dad sing "Agony" from
Into the Woods.
Kurt could sing about Finn, his dad about Finn's mom.
Please please please? Won't you please think of Dana?
Love ever so -
Aimee
"Not While I'm Around" from Sweeney, natch.
Or "Being Alive."
I really love the combination of modern (ish) pop and musicals, but I'd really love to see them do a doo-wop or 50's-60's bubble gum pop episode.
