Why do people think that obliging Boruto's desires would make Naruto a good dad?

People call Naruto a bad father because he doesn't spend 24/7 with Boruto. They say stupid stuff like "He could leave a shadow clone with Boruto."

Well I think the people who say that would make bad parents, because if Naruto did that he would be spoiling his son and making him weaker.

A lesson that every kid needs to learn is that life requires prioritizing. There is a time for leisure and a time for work! Those times vary from individual to individual based on things like schedule and occupation.

By spoiling Boruto with a shadow clone all the time, Boruto would never come to learn this lesson. Obliging Boruto with a shadow clone would tell Boruto that his leisure came first and foremost above every responsibility. Boruto would never have to experience sacrificing leisure for a more important purpose. As a result, Boruto would grow up and spoil his own kids rotten. Instead of doing what was best for his kids or for anyone else who depends on him, he'd just ditch every priority to make his kids happy.

Society can't work in this way. Plus look at some other kids:

Himawari gets just as little time to spend with Naruto as Boruto, but she doesn't seem to be a brat.
Shikadai's father is Naruto's advisor, so he likely doesn't get much time with his father either. He's not such a brat!
Sarada's had her bratty moments, but she is not as bad as Boruto and her father wasn't even there for years!

There is no excuse for Boruto. He is a brat.

Naruto is only avoiding TnJing Boruto to set up a movie conflict. The fact that he hasn't TnJ'd him by now is uncharacteristic of Naruto.

Mainly it is to strengthen the Father/Son bond. When you look at Naruto he had a good relationship with Minato so fans want Naruto to do the same thing for his son. The only thing that I think Hinata needs to get better at is disclipning her kids a little better. She already has Himawari in control but she needs to get Bolt as well. For Boruto that is his charcter development, first he starts out as a spoiled child and then moves on to that hero status so people need to hold off on their judgement on Boruto.

Every story needs a conflict. If they got along, there would be no story.

It's hilarious how people seem to think that the characters actually have their own minds and free will, trying to argue over the said characters' logic and actions instead of admitting that it is what it obviously really is: bad writing of the author.
