I grant Garfield being unrelatable to most people. It was specifically a comic of its time, the overindulged, selfish 80s culture where greed ruled and really, one Monday joke and one lasagna joke and the comic was done. But Peanuts ran for 50 years; even if discounting the last tired 15 years of it, many people had to have identified with it personally.
Comparing QC, with characters having a depth of personality and internal conflicts, to Peanuts, with its superficial one identifying trait per character, is like comparing a fine Cabernet with grape Koolaid. It's not even wrong.

And on Monday we'll see Station slowly go mad.
Is it cold in here?:
How did Station manage to be such a good parent without having any role models?
Did he provision some virtual machines in which to run test simulations of Hanners to see what approaches would work?

Sort of? More likely a 'model human' based on the average of the other crew, a differential between that baseline and Hannelore's early behaviour and a little experimentation with approaches.
Add the fact that, as a holographic avatar of a silicon based life form born in space, he's almost literally incapable of ever being dirty enough to trigger Hanners' anxieties and you have a way in and a solution path.
