I'm inclined to think that Taiyang was just a little irresponsible, but not, like, sleeping around or anything like that. He got attached to Raven, had a kid, then Raven disappeared and he rebounded on Summer. It's possible he was already leaning toward Summer even while Raven was still around, which might have been part of the reason she left. So if Taiyang still loved Raven and was just getting a tad too close to Summer without realizing it, then he's left with this guilt ("it's my fault Yang doesn't have a mother"), and when Summer dies it just all comes flooding back and he gushes to his preschool-age daughter who's so not ready to hear it. Yang runs off and almost gets herself and Ruby killed, and now Taiyang is uber protective of his daughters. Honestly, I'm surprised he even let them attend combat school after all that. I guess you can't exactly tell Ruby she's not allowed to continue her mother's legacy.

On a completely different topic... I guess Raven and Qrow must be twins. All teams to date have been comprised of students all the same age-- with the sole exception of Ruby, which is heavily implied to be a very special case. So Team QRTS or TRQS or STRQ or whatever we're calling it is probably made up of students all the same age, too. Of course, I'm assuming Qrow and Raven are blood siblings, but seeing as they have the same last name it's incredibly likely. Of course, one or both of them could be adopted, which is probably statistically more likely in real life but in stories we like twins so they're probably twins. It's not my craziest crack theory ever.
