We are talking about kids whose parents both work.

If there is actually a parent who never shows up at home, then no, I don't think that is a good parent. I think that is an absentee parent.

My position is that there is no reason to say a working mother isn't a good parent, whether or not finances force her to work.

(Or him, or both parents, as the case may be.)
