Anyone else like how terrible Naruto and Sasuke are at being parents?

Question

Being shitty parents gives the two demi gods a more "human" feel to them. It prevents them from feeling too perfect and makes them actually relatable. It's also hard to write good OP characters as they can usually just punch through their opponents. That or they're stupidly good at choosing the morally upright way and ends up prevailing. There's no sense of real danger and there's not much internal struggles. This is why Superman movies are the hardest to write imo.

Being parents give Naruto and Sasuke actual struggles they can't just TnJ or punch their way through. It gives them dilemnas everyday and they always have to make sacrifices for the good of the village. This struggle of being a parent is a refreshing new one rarely explored in Naruto (since most parents were either dead or spent the majority off screen).
