Ugh, please, attitudes like yours is the infantile one. Enjoying Lego and Star Wars isn't in opposition to being a good adult. Especially being a good parent. Creativity and imagination are hugely important in the modern world, and those endeavors require a playful mindset to excel at. It's sad to me to see that you find other's enjoyment as "sad". But I'm sure you have "proper" grown man pursuits, why don't you share with us what I, as a 50+ year old man should spend my time on? It might be shocking, but I spend my time on whatever it is you think I should be doing as well.
Here's an idea: being an adult shouldn't be one dimensional. I can play with legos, play video games, read scifi and fantasy, and also raise my son, renovate my house, and, I dunno, wrestle bears? Conquer nations? Drink beer and yell at the TV about sports? Or maybe it is denigration of others that you think is the hobby real men do. If so, you're correct, I'm just a child then with my silly belief that people getting joy from activities is a good thing.
Also, there's plenty for kids to get into these days, including comics, books, video games, and whatever. More than I had when I was a kid.
