I have two kids and I only play on easy mode when I'm playing with them. Otherwise I prefer to be challenged.

Yup. Sometimes they like to watch me play on "hard" (e.g. I played through Zelda: Skyward Sword on Hero mode). That said, there are limited options for a real "hard" mode on family-friendly games (Zelda: SS just doubles enemy damage and removes hearts from drops until mid-game).
