That depends entirely upon your minimum standards of parental involvement. Many would argue that the wet nurse/live-in nanny set qualify more as custodians than parents, per se.

To each his and her own, but you're being a bit myopic.

> That said, to be a power mom you just need a power partner.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic here.

We did hire a nanny, we both work 7 and 8 hours a day the rest is spent with the baby. As our baby sleep almost half of the time we aren't home, we lose just 4 or 5 hours of parenting time on weekdays.

Not sarcastic at all, What I was trying to say is that most power moms are really moms that have support of their partners.

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)
