“Becoming fed up with some things is oke, not bad, don’t you think so?”

Yes. That is good.
When one starts comprehending Tilakkhana, one can start seeing that somethings are just not worthwhile doing. The examples you gave are good.

Many current English translations translate nibbida as “revulsion” but that is not correct.

It is more like an adult not enjoying making sand castles on the beach anymore (which one used to enjoy as a child).

One does not need to forcibly give up such activities. One just is not interested in such activities anymore. So it comes automatically through wisdom (panna).
