[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am now seeing the flip side of some of my friends who had significant help from their parents/ILs when their children were younger. Now their parents and/or ILs are older and need a lot of assistance (to doctor's appointments, grocery shopping, with paperwork, anything and everything). Some of my friends are openly annoyed to have "so much responsibility" in caring for their elderly. I bite my tongue for it is usually the ones who had the most help early on that are complaining the most bitterly now. [/quote] Eh, no. Those are responsibilities that fall on you when you get into the sandwich generation, whether your parents helped you or not. Either you help your parents to do these tasks when they are not capable or hire someone to help them. If you have a good relationship with them that is, some may choose not to help. [/quote]
