I swear my hearing got more sensitive with kids. Also, some commercials hit differently.

I can’t read news stories about something terrible that happened to a child since having kids.
I couldn't watch Black Mirror after having my son.
Neither do I and I don't have kids
I believe OP is discussing what changed upon having kids, not "things that you can only do if you are a parent".
Same here. I can still hear them breathing quite clearly in the next room, even with the bedroom doors partially closed. My hearing for noises further away got more sensitive, but those nearby less so. I put this down to an ancestral ability to listen for sabre-tooth tigers trying to sneak up in the grass.
