Ugh, picking this up again way late, due to things.
(Also, having seen Tony/Astro Boy porn... eyebleed.)
People would be weirded the hell out, but even in movieverse, Tony is clearly more than usually attached to his creations - he's kept Dummy around for what, 25 years? Tony does not find it hard to form attachments to things that respond to him, although he shows little sign of caring about material possessions. (Specific ones, I mean, he obviously likes being rich and having nice things in a general sense.)
As a parent? Erratic. He was really sweet with Cassie, and she seemed genuinely fond of him, so I'm inclined to believe he's not incompetent with children, but he's going to constantly second-guess himself over the emotional shit. If he's got a co-parent to reassure him, I think he'd do better, but he's so unused to being anyone's primary support. He might well back off when he's needed for fear of making things worse.
