Best Dad in Trek

Please stop being mean to poor Worf. The worst parent in the Star Trek universe (if not in the universe, period) is clearly Q.
Not everyone is good at everything. Worf is brave, honorable, capable... but he doesn't handle relationships very well.
Worf felt that honor demanded that he formalize his relationship with K'Ehleyr. She disagreed. It might have been different if she had known that the encounter had left her pregnant.

Suzie Q was even worse, though... she just plain deadbeated on out of there.
Too bad Janeway didn't agree to bump fingers with Q, she'd have been a great mom. And also, as a condition of the job, she'd have probably demanded that he send Voyager home. Or done it herself, since the Q continuum would have needed to give her temporary Q powers for the job she was undertaking.

Actually, I can't really call Worf a shit brother.
In "SONS OF MOGH", he performed the ceremony for Kurn, but was interrupted by Dax and Odo.
At the end, he stopped Kurn from a dishonorable death via suicide, and he did the only option he really had left... he wiped his memory and got him a new identity.
He essentially gave Kurn what he asked for without actually killing him.
How was Worf a bad brother?

I love the scene where Ben suspects his father of being a changeling and Joe says "Benjamin Lafayette Sisko..."
When a parent uses your middle name, WATCH OUT.
Yeah, the middle name usage from a parent is usually never a good sign. It means you done bad and the parent really is mad and you just took things a little too far
Talking of Kurn, I wish we had gotten the chance to see what kind of a dad HE was. Probably a cool one! 
(Kurn did have children. All daughters.)

Martok might get an honorable mention in the shitty father department.
"The Way of the Warrior" establishes that Martok has a son, and that son is a piece of crap that beat up Garak.
After the real Martok is retrieved from the Gamma Quadrant, his son is never mentioned again and Worf for all intents and purposes becomes his surrogate child.

Martok found out what his son did and probably kicked his dishonorable tail.
Hey, if you want absentee fathers, maybe Noonien Soong counts. I mean one of them had a design flaw he himself was responsible for, & just said "Ignore permanently". For a dude obsessed with creating authentic AI beings to have life, he has little regard for them once he's finished. Kind of serves him right that the best achievement he ever made walked out on him in the end
And the wooden spoon is coming... for you.
I think he saw Worf more as brother than son.
Maybe Drex's ship was one of the ones that got blown to bits in the fight at DS9.
Should we have a Worst Dad in Trek thread?
The wooden spoon is the next stage of the anger. It's like the stages of grief. First comes the middle name. Then the lecture, then the spoon.
Wouldn't Worf be the unanimous favorite?
Worf certainly wouldn’t win Father of the Year!
She did have kids, with Tom Paris. She abandoned them immediately.
By refusing Gowron, he brought dishonor to the House of Mogh, ruining Kurn's life as it was. He made Jeremy Aster his brother and then seemingly ignored him forever. And he pathetically failed in his duty to perform Mauk-to'Vor, and even more shockingly decided he didn't feel like doing it again, leaving Kurn to have his entire mind erased, seemingly without his consent.

I'll agree about Jeremy.
But Gowron severely overreacted. And technically, being the elder son of Mogh, he did have the right to tell Gowron no. Same with his decision to erase Kurn's memory.
Don't. I'm not over that episode yet
If not Sisko then Kelvin-George Kirk perhaps? He was only a father for a couple of scenes but he saved his son and many others too.
As I mentioned in the other thread, its a Borg Queen running the show, not a Borg King. Down with the cyber-patriarchy!
