Even Mike his favourite son fell into the criminal lifestyle because of Vito. All this shows that Vito was well a bad influence on his kids which makes him a bad father.


Exactly. At the wedding Mike is telling Kay about Luca and Vito and Johnny Fontane and the band leader. Vito chose to bring up his children in that kind if environment. How in the world did he think they would turn out? Anytime you expose your children to bad things, there's a real good chance that they might adopt those behaviors.
