[MCU] Why was Howard Stark so harsh on Tony?

I never really understood why Howard Stark always acts so harsh to Tony if he supposedly cared about him. What was the logic behind it? All it accomplished was giving Tony issues later in life.

Remarkably talented and successful inventors and businessmen don't often turn out to be the best fathers.  
Howard thought he was crafting Tony into a better person, as any father wants to do, he was just wrong about what the consequences of his actions would be.
