They do care, but they are lousy parents. A lot of earlier episodes depicted them as being loving, caring parents, but were to busy or caught up in their own things to spend as much time with Timmy as they'd like. "Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad" and "Ruled Out" being good examples of how much they do love Timmy.

The "loving, but busy" angle was something that was slowly dropped as the series went on. Their lack of attention towards Timmy kept getting more and more played for laughs til the point where do seem like uncaring parets. I like the newer episodes and all, but it is a problem.
