Sorry but crying over his son's being baptised is rather ridiculous.
Why?
Just because you don't personally identify with cultural rites of passage that others may find meaningful?
It would seem that this thread, overall, should be a good indicator to you that your personal values and assessments of things are just that...not really universals.
No problem. My grandfather was (and still is) great with us.
So don't you think your grandfather was great with your father when he was a child? If that is the case then it is your fathers choice to not be like that.
A lot of men want nothing more than to be a husband, father and successful in their career but they always put their families first.

My grandfather wasn't bad, he was just absent because he spent a lot of time abroad.
Pretty much HELL no. But if it ever does come up, I just need to go to my local Wal-Mart and look around at all the misbehaving orbital satellites of destruction screaming and crying around their stressed out, unhappy and poor parents to get a healthy dose of "Fark that!"
lol @ this. I get the exact same feeling. I don't dislike kids, but I get headaches really easily when they are around and I've always known a family is just something I'd never be interested in. I remember when my little sister used to watch that show Teen Mom in the living room, and I was so damn grateful I didn't have any kids. That show was frightening.
I've never heard any man say he wants or cant wait to have kids to be honest. It's not something any men I know have ever mentioned. Maybe most men are forced or shamed into having kids because it's something society expects them to do after a certain age. I know that if I had a kid right now I'd be absolutely devastated. All my freedom would be gone and my life would be over. All the things I wanted to do could never happen. I'd be finished. Plus kids are expensive and I want to keep all my money for myself.
Oh yeah. Unfortunately the ones that do end up walking out to populate the rest of the entire city they live in.
