    Lmao. Somehow Paris with his bastardized mutant offspring qualifies him as a better dad than Worf.

    Rom inspired his son to enter into a very successful career, just probably not in the way he would have liked. Then Nog inspired Rom to change career tracks and become a station engineer, so I guess it all worked out.

      The Ferengi culture being what it is/was really elevates Rom’s parenting to s-tier. Pretty much as soon as he realized things could be different and he could break the cycle he does.

      And Nog for sure gets the ‘Best Son’ award. Nog getting Rom to become an engineer lets him shine so bright he gets Leeta which leads him to becoming a Grand Nagus who is willing to try and make the Ferengi a better people.

      He tried, but he kinda failed and never went out of his way to make up for it despite having multiple opportunities. Not a bad person, just a bad father.

        To be fair, it’s not like he purposefully planned for Alexander. He was just sort of thrust upon him and he wasn’t in a position to really adapt well.

        Also his kid was kind of… I don’t know, special?

        I’m trying to figure out who Riley’s kid was?

      In cultural context, worf was a probably a progressive dad. But his kid was even more human than he.

      At one point, Worf dumps Alexander with Worf’s adopted human parents because he feels like he can’t take care of Alexander (with the stimulus being his struggle to handle his son’s misbehavior at school), and Alexander has a really difficult time.

    Worf: Why would I even be considered?

    Alexander: Happy Father’s Day, Dad!

    Worf: Ah! Who let you out of the room?! Get out of here before anyone sees you

    Worf was great with O’Brien’s kid. 🤷‍♂️

    His relationship with Alexander was about what you would expect when you just find out you even had a kid and then your partner dies right in front of the two of you before you’ve had the slightest chance to bond, as well as the challenges of being an Autistic dad to a child with ADHD. 🤷‍♂️
