Our kids learn from us, if we are greedy mother fuckers, our kids will be and worse because we'll see ourselves in them. That sounds like the father.... a whiny, self centered prick, teaching his kids how to be one.
If we teach them love and respect are more important, they will go down that road. Teach them money is a necessary evil but not the end all to your troubles and in fact can create some.
In the end the amount of time you spend with them is important, but the quality and teaching is by far the most important time.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
