Sarek is on there. Really. Sarek. The first one. Sarek was an awful dad to at minimum three children.

Well he did convince Kirk to go rescue his son after they shot him into a planet. That's big dad love there.

Yep, I fully agree. At the tail end of Sarek's life we learn he loved Spock. He doesn't tell or show Spock ever, which would qualify him as a terrible parent by human standards but he's a Vulcan so maybe that's not how he should be judged. What Sarek also doesn't do is end his feud with Spock which I think is a perfectly good standard on which to judge a Vulcan parent. So while I love Sarek as a character he's a bad dad.

He told his wife not to show love for Spock, even though she was allowed to openly love Burnham. That's child abuse.
