You additionally lose all sense of perspective; anything which could potentially affect your children in a negative way MUST BE DESTROYED.

I'm told the usual way OUT of this is more children -- eventually jadedness overcomes this attitude. However, I don't recommend it. Better to never start.

(Full disclosure: I'm 30, no children)
tell me youre joking.
