Naruto isn't a bad father. He's just an overworked Hokage. This era of Hokage is more than just the guy who doles out missions like Hiruzen, Tsunade, Minato and Kakashi did. For Naruto, he's basically running the entire village so the new technology and the population expansion goes smoothly. He's overseeing not only the village's ninja population, but actively working for the civilian.

Its not until after the Boruto movie he gets a better schedule and can spend time with his family more.
