You are talking to a guy who moved to the US from Denmark for nine months before my wife and son came over here so not casting any judgement here just a heads up.

Your baby wont continue being a baby and before you know it they are awake most of the time when you are not around and asleep when you are.

I see many parents who end up seeing their kid for maybe 1 hour a day after they reach the age of 3.

In almost every household, at least one parent works 40 hours/week. Is that person not parenting? Are you aware how many hours are in a week? That children go to school?

yes but read the parent (no pun intended)
