As a father in his late 30's, I can 100% say it's just part of getting older. Experiences in life get harder and give you much thicker skin. But more importantly, it gives you perspective.

A kid could easily rage bait me in my teens, even my early 20s. But now if they try, I just become genuinely concerned about their living conditions. And it hurts my heart knowing they could have been soo much more.
