At least Naruto sends shadow clones to tend to his family while he works but he never considers leaving a clone to do his work so that he can be with his kids. Sure, he has a job that gives him all responsibilities of the village while having a family at home, and that makes it hard for him to divide his time between the two. Naruto admitted to Boruto that he is a bad father because he isn't there enough for him, Hinata, and Himawari, but he always never second guessed his top priority, which was always his family.

In Sasuke's defense, his reputation as a Uchiha and a powerful shinobi would earn him many enemies, who would be eager to use his family against him. That may be why he never contacted them while he was away. And even though he nearly attacked Sarada in a misunderstanding and didn't apologize for it, he still proved his love for her by putting himself in harms way to protect her and is willing to atone for his absence to her. Sasuke always wanted to restore his clan and Sarada symbolizes that because she is the child he had wanted for so long, and in that sense, she is his legacy.
