Am I Regan or Goneril?

because I feel like an ungrateful daughter.  I am tired of changing my Mom's adult diaper.  Since I never married and had my own child, changing diapers is a novelty.  Yes, I have learned to do it well, and even take pride in my expertise.  That does not change the fact that I am tired of seeing Mom's excrement three or four times a day.

OK, I know she had to change my diaper for two plus years--more like three, but Mom lost her sense of smell as a little girl.  That's beside the point:  I am doing for Mom what she had to do for me.  I'm not such a meglomaniac that I think my diapers smelled like May's lilac bushes or the first roses of June. 

It is what it is, or as they used to sing "que sera sera".
