Listen "The Sandwich Parent: Balancing Care for Aging Parents and Children"

Episode Synopsis


They're called "Sandwich Parents." It's those who care for both their aging parents and their children at the same time. Typically, these caregivers are women aged between 40 and 60, managing the dual responsibilities of childcare and eldercare within their homes. It’s a stage of life that has its challenges with work that often goes unrecognized.
Studio 5 Parenting Contributor Heather Johnson urged "Sandwich Parents" to find the blessings too.
