After a certain age, children do NOT need you standing over them catering to their every need. They need to get out there. They need to experience some failures in life, and in the long term gain self confidence. This mother sounds like she was an overbearing mother would thought she missed out on some good things that made her happy in order to cater to her children.
Thats her own mistake. You can have children and still enjoy life.

About 5 should be right. Wait ‘til they’re 7 and they get an entitlement mentality.
