[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it so hard for adult children to take care of a parent's personal grooming at the end of life- especially when we have done similar things for our children at the beginning of their lives? [/quote]

I have this thought a lot, because I come from a culture where inter-generational bonds are  bit more stressed than in general now. BUT I also haven;t been there yet, and you know what they say about walking a mile in another's shoes. I can't fault anyone when I have no idea what it is like.

I have to say though, I kind of hope it becomes a real conversation to have. [b]We really got sort of convinced in the last couple generations that having kids anything before mid to late 30s is for those who don't have anything better left to do,[/b] it just isn't always the best thing if your parents did the same thing. Not necessarily bad but something worth talking about. I was 33 and 35. I would love it if my kids had kids closer to 30.[/quote]

This. The "sandwich generation" is mostly a result of people delaying childbirth until their mid-30s.[/quote]
