I work everyday from 8am till 3:00. My 2yr is potty trained so he gets run of the house, my 15weeks pee-pees everywhere so she is confined to the puppy-proof utility room (in there she only goes on her pee pad) they are perfectly content. At 7:45am Mac assumes his position on the couch and Maci is ready for a nap so she never fusses when I lock her up. They are so accustom to the routine on week-ends they both pretty much nap off & on until around 3 pm when they "come to life"...I think getting a play-pen is a great idea until your baby get fully potty trained and could possibly have the run of your room.

Do you think if Tokyo was fully housebroken your parents would be more receptive to him being out and about with them?

If you are wanting someone to reassure you and tell you its ok to rehome him, it is ok and you shouldnt feel guilty wanting him to have what you might feel is a "better life" thats something only you can decide. Just do your homework and find a good family that you know will take good care of him..possible someone that you could visit/check in on him periodically..boy am I rambling lol... You sound like a very smart and responsible girl..I think you will make a good decision however you decide.. Good luck..
