Machismo

Explanation:

The father make fun of his son because he is not living the life his father think is the correct way.

Macho men usually try to control everyone but in a subtle way. They want other people to do things the way they want justifying their conduct.

In this case, Daniel's father is mocking on him because he doesn't have the lifestyle he would want.
