This story arc reinforces that Ridge put his kids first

I don't think Ridge was a good father to Thomas and Steffy when they were young, and I don't think he's a good father now. When they were young, he left their upbringing to Taylor and to Brooke after he married her. He hasn't indulged them much as adults. He did buy Thomas out of trouble when Emma died, but the police didn't have much on Thomas anyway. Mostly, Ridge is just about fulfilling his own needs. He's been in LA, whereas Taylor has not been, but he worked late, chased various women, and fulfilled his own desires. I think he loves his children, but I don't think he's shown that love much. I don't think Ridge, Taylor and their kids have ever been much of a family. I think the show misrepresents a lot of facts, mostly about Taylor, but I don't think Ridge being a lousy father is a misrepresentation. Just my opinion, of course.

I never saw him leave his kids' upbringing to Taylor and Brooke. In the 90s and 2000s there were so many sweet family scenes where Ridge was shown as a loving father to all his kids and even to Rick and Hope.
