Does it get easier as the kids get older? It did with me. Fortunately, I was able to work my schedule around my two daughter's events, so I missed very few. As my son got older and got into basketball (3rd grade), I made sure I was not reffing when he had games. Then, when he reached 7th grade, he started reffing in our rec league.
He is now 20 and we have reffed together many times. In fact, we have a game together this week. If you have a kid old enough to start, there's really no feeling better for an official than to ref with your own kid.
