[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question: why is it called the sandwich "generation"? Doesn't every generation have to deal with both kids and aging parents at some point?[/quote] People are waiting longer to have kids and elderly folk are living longer. Thus a woman in her 50's (like me) has an 11 year old and an 87 year old mother. Not the usual case 20 years ago. It happened sometimes, but there was not an entire generation with both little ones and very aged incapacitated parents to deal with at the same time.[/quote]
