I like most of what you're saying, however, I would propose this. For kids, at a certain point, more interaction becomes detrimental. As an impending father, who will likely be the primary caretaker, I want them to spend a significant portion of time without my help so they learn and grow and can problem solve from an early age. Obviously not abandoning them or something so extreme, but letting them be creative and become their own person. As an aside, I think this all in parenting attitude some people, not saying you necessarily, have is what pushes people to have children later (if at all).
