He's older and tired. He's doing his best to be everywhere at once but that kind of constant division in attention has to be wearing him down. By now, anyways, he's realized that things aren't so simple as saying he can do everything. Look what happened to Neji; after Naruto claimed he wouldn't let his friends die, Neji takes a hit for him and is killed. Naruto grew up. He still is doing his best to be there for everyone, but the fact that he has to put his village first probably tires him out, considering how his son acts towards him.

Try to understand where he's coming from. He hasn't changed his ways, he's just super worn out when we see him in the movie. He wasn't gonna be a complete lively child when he became Hokage.
