Makes the impression that he wasn´t a really good father...
I wouldn't be too hard on Finwë. Fëanor's mother, Míriel had died giving birth to him, and her death was devastating to Finwë. It's understandable he would have given most of his attention to Fëanor afterward, even though it wasn't really fair to Fingolfin and Finarfin. I think his other sons didn't hold that against Finwë, as evidenced by Fingolfin's forgivness of Fëanor's drawing a blade against him.
