AIBU to be sad I'm not a source of 'fun' to my kids?

I feel like recently I've become more of a machine who does their cleaning, puts pasta on the table, lays out their uniform, drives them around. They're 8 and 10, and all their fun and games seem to either come from screens or their friends. Does anyone else find it hard to do fun things together?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

So take back control,you don’t need to be chauffeur & chef
Organise some fun stuff,reduce screen time,get them involved in cooking etc
Somehow you’ve became the machine,you can change it and them.
Expect a few tears and gripes along the way,bad habits are hard to break

Tell them a joke (and let them deal with their own uniform)
Take them out - play games in the park/go swimming/museum
Have silly conversations at the dinner table
