I don't know that the fun goes away. It changes. It heavily impacts the kids - that cannot be avoided although we are obligated to minimize it.
I also don't know that cocky is the way I would describe that. It seems more like a peacock to me when I see it. Kind of like, "Look. I'm happier now. Look at me and how happy I am now that I left that dead weight."
What goes up...
