Hi mike,
With a few quick reads, I'm interpreting as follows;
Stanza one: You own the house, becoming a parent you realise opportunities missed and start to create your falsehood.
Your children grow somewhat oblivious to you being there
Stanza 2: as adolescents they now consider you a pest
Stanza 3: I'm reading your first lines as criticisms of their behaviour/life
And in light of these you create an alternative reality for yourself.
Your final line is this reality, but at the same time a wider symbol of all our lives.
Let me know if this makes sense and I'll give you some more detailed feedback in light of that.
Thanks for the read.
