@nursehadley: Are you part of the sandwich generation? Almost a quarter of adults in their 40s and 50s care for a child and their aging parents simultaneously. This puts a very large strain on them and can oftentimes push retirement out even further. #caregiver #greenscreen
I’m 68 and I made myself a cheese sandwich for dinner. I’m glad you explained this. I thought I must be part of the sandwich generation.
