 I'll say that if you have no other issue than that you don't have time
 to have sex, you aren't fit to be a parent. You've got to change your
 life drastically before you will be. Well off people with no time for
 their kids really rate low on the parent scale IMO.

Maybe this is being relegated to nannies and/or day care these days?  In the 
past, many wealthy people had governesses or nannies.  And many 
not-so-wealthy people had a "village" approach to childrearing.

And even not such wealthy people - e.g., I was reared by amahs (one in 
Nanking when I was very young, and one in Taiwan when I was older), and 
still passionately loved my mother and was loved by her even though I've 
never known her to bake ONE cookie for me - or any cookies, ever, come to 
think of it. :-]
