I like your thoughts, but I wouldn't call the mindset "aging." But what to call it? Maybe "being an asshole."

  People seem to call it aging... or rather it seems to happen to people as they "age." But yes, it involves a fair amount of assholery. Another observation: I have children, and I have not given up on my dreams. I find many people who say you can't pursue your dreams with kids. IMHO those people have given up on their dreams for other reasons and are blaming their children for that. It's a shitty thing to do-- your kids want you to have dreams, since it will inspire them.

    Agreed. One of the most important duties of a parent is to serve a positive example by living how you would want your children to live. I know too many whining self-martyrs that believe the quality of parenting is proportional to the amount of misery they are in. I don't believe that is true and these parents are not only failing themselves, but their families as well.
