This #tbt shows how Jana always wanted to help Mom out! Can you guess who she is feeding? Hint: Look at the date on picture. As a new aunt, I bet she'll have a chance to feed another sweet baby soon![/i]

[i]What Is Parentification? 
Parentification occurs when a child takes on developmentally inappropriate levels of responsibility for their family’s emotional, physical, and/or mental well-being. This reverse parenting results in them becoming caregivers before they’re physically, mentally, or emotionally ready for such responsibility.

When it comes to teenagers, it’s not unusual for a teen to clean the bathroom, hold down a job, or occasionally watch out for younger siblings. When these tasks teach them new skills or how to shoulder responsibility or give them encouragement, they can grow because their parents are the ones who bear final responsibility for the family’s well-being. When teenagers experience a complete role reversal and becomes responsible for the parents’ or younger children’s well-being, however, it can lead to them being parentified, which may lead to trauma.[/i]
