How present do you think a parent has to be?

I'll explain further.

How present do you think at least one parent in the home has to be for their kids to not suffer?

Option 1- There should be at least one parent that is a stay at home parent for the kids.

Option 2- Parents can both work, but at least one parent should only be on day shifts with weekends off so that they are around basically whenever their children aren't in school.

Option 3- Parents can both work, and they can both work a mix of day and night shifts and this will not have any impact on their children.

Option 4- Parents can both work, and they can both work evenings regularly where their children will be regularly left with another family member, babysitter, friend, etc. for most of their hours spent not in school.

Option 5- Regardless of any of this it has no negative or positive influence on the children.

My reason for asking is because I was raised by a single mother who worked excessively and as an adult I truly think that it impacts children when they don't have someone there. My mother worked lots of evenings and weekends where I would only see her for a few minutes in the morning before school. She'd pick up extra hours on the weekends, work double and triple shifts for overtime and I really feel like I was put on the back burner so that she could make money and accomplish her own goals. I feel like I really needed more than I got. I would have 100% rathered less money and more time. I wanted to see what others opinions are about stuff like this.
