Thanks for the reply. My husband and I don't have any children. I guess then we aren't sandwiched, but do have nieces and nephews. Thinking back, I am not really new at this. When I was sixteen, I moved in with my grandmother so she wouldn't have to go into a nursing home. It seemed to be the natural thing to do. Everybody else was busy with their lives. I moved out when I married and by that time she was able to stay by herself with people stopping in on a regular basis. My husband's grandmother lived with them when the time came. It just seems to be the natural thing to do to take care of family. My twelve year old niece likes to stay with us and she doesn't mind helping my mom ( her grandmother) and she likes to be around my husband's parents and spending time with them. Her older sister, who is in nursing school, helps out when she can and my sister is the office manager of a home health care. I am thankful as a family, I do have someone to lean on.
