Firstly, i'm a fella.
It's an interesting concept: the edge.
It's a natural part of having children; you give part of your luminosity to your offspring.
Partly, i think, it's a gift to your children. The gift of spritely-ness, pizzazz, power.
Also, it dulls you (the parent) somewhat. But, this can be a good thing. I mean, i no longer have the desire to do crazy, life-endangering stuff.
I have to be around to bring up my kids.
I dont mind at all that they have aquired a part of me. They are so little (3 and 5) and so helpless. They are at the mercy of the world. They need all the edge they can get.
Besides, i'll get it back someday... or not...
