Fighting to protect them doesn't make him a good father and husband. All the stuff he puts ChiChi through, and even more so at the EoZ when he leaves just to train a boy so he'll have somebody to fight. And Gohan can't control his emotions after he gets angry and looses control. Gokou wanted Cell to make Gohan that angry and paid the price. Gokou finally realized that what he did was wrong that's why he asked for a senzu bean when Gohan was being squeezed by Cell and Piccolo told him Gohan doesn't like to fight and that he's not thinking about being angry evem though he's being hurt. Cell could have proceeded to pound on Gohan and Gohan would have never gotten angry enough to go ssj2 or get strong enough to beat Cell. Gohan was weaker than Cell at ssj as it shows when Cell was able to keep up with him, hurt him, and still wasn't fully powered up. And with Fat Buu Gokou left the fate of the world in the hands of children when he could have killed him there which resulted in the death of his wife along with the destruction of Earth. And yes Gokou stayed dead because he says he brings evil to him yet even if he hadn't returned Buu would have still returned and destroyed everything. Because he does something may be right in his mind doesn't make it right to his family or for his family. Gohan had to grow without his father, Goten had to grow without a father, and ChiChi didn't have her husband again.
So, all of his heroics & him saving the Earth means nothing? Btw, Gohan can control himself, if he couldn't, he wouldn't killed Cell rather quickly. Besides, he wanted to make Cell suffer. Goku told him repeatedly to finish Cell but he said he wanted to make him suffer. Also, Gohan was stronger than Goku so he was nearly even with Cell, if not stronger. However, we don't truly know that because Gohan didn't fight as hard as he could. Btw, what are you talking about? Goku was there for Gohan's entire childhood, he grew up being around his father. I doubt Goku even knew Chi-Chi was pregnant since he died rather abruptly. Chi-Chi did get to spend some time with him & as far as Uub goes, it's not like he went to another planet to train him or he said he wouldn't ever come back. For all we know, he went to an area around his house to train. Since he wants to train him to be really strong, why wouldn't he have him come live with him? Seriously, everything you say is wrong, Goku isn't a bad father, he does the best he can, it's not his fault he has to fight so much. However, I guess in your mind everything would be great if he spent all of his time with Chi-Chi & Gohan instead of defending the Earth.
