Ah, he is those types of tsunderes with resting bitch faces.....
Just because he gives gifts and thinks about how his kid is a "sweet boy" doesn't really mean he is a doting parent. I've dealt with a mother who often buys me things as a "sign of affection" yet her words are absolute abusive to the point I need therapy all of my life.
His thoughts of thinking his son is a "sweet boy" is natural for parents to have until they hit their teenage years too

I think sometimes authors don't realize that if you want to make an antagonist sympathetic you should probably set that up a bit before putting them into conflict with the protagonist(s). If you try to do it after the fact it very easily comes off as cheap and/or insincere.

I don’t buy it. This is some hard back peddling on the part of the author.
Some parents have a hard time realising that their children are sentient, autonomous beings who will grow into adults.
Being doting and thinking your child is "sweet" is not a sign of being a good parent. Some parents "dote" on their child in the same way you would dote on a pet animal - with the expectation that your "doting" will be appreciated regardless of how it is manifested and without regard to the other person.
It is a better practice to explain and talk to your child. Interact with them.
