The issue I see that hasn't been touched on yet is that assuming he's looking at it in private (if it's not in private that raises a whole nother set of problems), he's probably not paying much attention to what the girls are doing. (This is, to be fair, probably equally true if he were doing any number of other things--non-porn web surfing, reading a book, playing video games.) For those ages, 10 & 12, you don't want or need to be standing over them every minute, but you probably do want to know where they are and what they're doing. So depending on the "chunk" of the time being spent surfing, there MAY be an issue with whether the kids are being properly supervised.
