You need to watch more Hollywood films then. I'm a foreigner who loves Hollywood films, people who bash Hollywood are often surface watchers with a limited palette. If all you watch are marvel and transformer films, the fault lies with you, not Hollywood. Tgf is the greatest film of all time and I have yet to see a korean film to match it.
2nd you are supposed to empathize and sympathize with the protagonist, no matter how bad they are. If you cannot evoke that empathy from viewers then that is the fault of the film. I also agree with the op, including the daughter makes me lose any empathy for her. They are not westerners who bend at every whim or temper tantrum of a child, you do not risk your child's life when you plan on going on a killing spree. And bad parents not putting the welfare of the child over their own actions is seen in Hollywood, ex. Running on Empty. A film where the parents are unlikable as well.
