A variation of the “Sandwich Generation” is the “Dagwood”. It’s a triple decker sandwich where someone might be caring for a grandchild, a child, and, a parent all at the same time.
I couldn’t imagine, but, I know there are many people out there who are doing it, and, it could be me someday. It’s easy to look at that as a huge stressor, and, often it may be, but, I really liked this columnist’s take on the situation where she finds herself as a Dagwood, a helicopter parent, and, a member of the “boomerang” club.
