Going from being their hero when they were younger, to barely getting a bored hello from them as teenagers when I get home.
Sounds needy, I know, but damn, my life has been practically centered around them for 17 years. It's tough to accept the change.
This mostly. I told my wife I haven't had a good idea with my boys in 20 years. I miss when they were 8-10 years old and could do no wrong. I will say my only son with his first son is looking at life differently.
