At a Certain Age

at a certain age
grandchildren outgrow you
this speaks well of them
natural consequences of having peers and interests

at a certain age
you are given lots of extra time 
to develop your own hobbies and interests
enjoy this time, spend it wisely

It is not so bad; you can truly enjoy your hobbies without interruption and when they call and beg to come over, it makes it ever more sweeter.
