The day after I visited my Mum, I had to fly to Canberra as my daughter is unwell and I am needed to help with the grandchildren. The unexpected trip to Canberra means that I am here for my grandson's first birthday today.
Apparently, we are the 'sandwich generation'.
Traditional - those sandwiched between aging parents who need care and/or help and their own children.
Club Sandwich - those in their 50s or 60s sandwiched between aging parents, adult children and grandchildren, or those in their 30s and 40s, with young children, aging parents and grandparents.
Open Faced - anyone else involved in elder care.
I know that my Mum is being well cared for and for now I am happy to help look after these gorgeous grandchildren.
