Same with decorating cakes, when I was learning it, I loved it, but now I just don’t like dealing with sticky, messy, things. I would much rather waste my remaining time cutting up fabric and creating things with it. Not only does it make gifting much easier, it also preserves my waistline...I wonder what other skills those of us here have but just don’t care to use anymore?

endora - i would love to get my hands on a dozen of those curity gauze unfolded rectanglar diapers. they are the very best dish towels!!! the last of mine gave up a few years ago. sigh.
i did not mind folding diapers. not so fond of changing a baby that was poopy from end to end and the baby required a bath before rediapering the little one.

for the grandparents that had to raise their grandchildren- i salute you!
i hoped and prayed that their parents would be able to do the grunt work.
as far as parenting coming to an end - probably on the day i die.
