I hope this doesn&#x27;t come across as negative, it&#x27;s not meant that way...<p>Do you think your priorities will shift again as your kids grow up (and move out)? I&#x27;ve not been a parent before, but I have parents, and it&#x27;s kind of hard to encourage someone to follow their own interests again when they&#x27;ve been so focused on others for so long. I&#x27;m grateful for everything my parents gave me, but if I had a time machine I&#x27;d try to encourage my parents to keep up their own interests too. Honestly, I don&#x27;t think I would have minded in the slightest. Besides, even if that led to my own boredom, I think that just encourages more self-reliance in finding your own entertainment, and self-reliance is one of the best gifts you can give a kid IMO.<p>Anyway, that&#x27;s just my outside perspective, it probably feels different when you&#x27;re a parent.
