Montgomery Community College Parenting at Both Ends Discussion
Parenting at both ends
The term “sandwich generation” has been used to describe middle age adults who are caring for children (who have left home and returned, or perhaps because of delayed child-bearing have not yet left home) and for elderly parents.
What are the consequences of being a member of the “sandwiched” mid-life generation? Remember to consider both positive and negative consequences for each developmental domain.
What research is there to help us understand how to manage this situation?
