[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a 31 year old dealing with end of life care for my elderly father, who was 46 when I was born, know that you are making a selfish choice because of your admitted mid-life crisis. I’ve had to unpack a lot of anger and resentment about having old parents in therapy. I am in the prime of my life and have to spend it clouded by acute grief and anticipatory grief and all the logistics. It really sucks. [/quote]

This was me but a bit older with little ones.  No grandparents for my kids and no grandparents for me since I was born to older parents.  [/quote]

Me as well. End of life care for my father when I had preschoolers and now with elementary aged kids my mother is starting to need regular help. None of my friends are dealing with this sandwich generation stuff yet and it’s tiring. I’m not angry or resentful, just burdened and sad that I and my kids had so much less time with them that we should. And grateful that my in-laws are still able to be active grandparents. [/quote]

Same. It’s exhausting and it’s expensive. Others are certainly not dealing with it. I turn off social media sometimes just so I don’t see what others holidays look like with their moms. [/quote]
