The Sandwich Generation

Balancing home and work, particularly when young children and a full-time job are in the picture, can be challenging for the best of us. It is easy to see why: eight hours at the office, plus commuting, arranging children's activities, helping with homework, preparing meals, doing household chores and planning for family time makes balance seem more like an elusive goal than a firm reality. For some, the task becomes even more difficult when they must not only provide care to their dependent children but also to aging relatives. These people are often referred to as "the sandwich generation". You may read more on this topic by clicking on the following links:
