Strange,
According to a Robin Williams biography show I watched a while back,
Neither he or his kid's mothers wanted custody of them and they were were left to be raised by their nanny for most of their younger lives
with Robin popping in occasionally. Like a few times a year.
They reconciled when the kids got older but if the show was accurate, he was as far from father of the year as a person could get.
