no you're not, I saw it explained in an earlier thread - I think the sandwich generation are those stuck between looking after kids and looking after their parents....?

something like that.

having to care for both your children and your parents

Doesn't strictly apply to me as I'm not really "caring" for my parents, but it seemed the most appropriate place fo rhte thread.

ah!
never heard of that phrase before
