And certainly priority to Torah over family is correct.
Where did GAW say it was praiseworthy? He said it was a machlokes as to what one should do.
Taking care of your family is part of Torah. Sitting and learning can be shifted around to take care of your family. Obviously, learning should be a priority, but you should STILL be there for your family.
Ask your LOR. Perhaps there is a hashkafa out there that says chinuch of your children is less important your own learning when you can do it later.
Sigh.
