I see it more as "reclaiming yourself" and some go to extremes... In the traditional "family unit" parents give up a lot of themselves. When you make the decision to have children, most of your life becomes invested in their needs and as a parent you always come second. When kids grow up all of a sudden we realize that it´s been a long time since we were self indulgent and now there is nothing to stop us.
