Yup. Happened to me with baseball. Did my time, moved up through the ranks, then realized it just wasn't fun like it used to be. No one's fault, no one did anything to tick me off, it was all me. Took about a 20 year break, then started doing it again this year.
As for missing my kids' basketball games, for the most part I block those nights. Both of mine are in HS. Our assignor is great about sending me to games on other nights. My own father, who officiated for 20+ years, always told me not to miss those. He missed some in his day, and regrets it to this day.
As they say, different strokes. YMMV.
