"with" my child. "busy" is likely better than "involved "

@caz88 Sorry, but Idk if using the word "involvement" would also make sense-I know that being involved would sound more natural-For example:
I've been in involvement with my child. /I've been in a great deal of involvement with the local hospital.
I've been in involvement with my child. /I've been in a great deal of involvement with the local hospital.
