Isakson Living Helps Children Avoid Sandwich Generation ...
By Donna J. Jodhan
 
One of the more frequently asked questions is this one:  Who exactly is the sandwich generation and why has this name been given to such generation?  In response to this question here is the more general answer.  The sandwich generation is the name that has been coined to describe the aging baby boomer generation; those who were born between 1946 and 1964.  They are referred to as the sandwich generation because they find themselves having to take care of both their kids and their parents all at the same time.  A very tight situation for this generation and they are doing their best to ensure that their kids do not end up in the same situation as they.
 
The sandwich generation is caught between having to ensure that their parents have been well provided for and at the same time they have to make provisions for their kids.  The key here for the sandwich generation is sound and logical planning.  It is a very stressful situation for the sandwich generation but the good thing about it is that they are very aware and conscious of their predicament and they are taking steps to ensure that their kids do not end up in the middle of both sides of another sandwich; their parents, that being the present sandwich generation, and their own kids.
 
This picture could be one for many to look at as a way to create and develop several types of new careers and at the same time it is a way for communities and establishments to design and develop services to meet the needs of both the sandwich generation and their parents.  I am going to leave you with a really great reference to check out.
