Are you one of countless unseen heroes of the Sandwich Generation or Club Sandwich Generation? Be seen, be vocal about needing assistance, and be well.

No, I’m not talking about a club sandwich with turkey, bacon and tomato; I’m talking about a way of life faced by many people. If you’re taking care of your parents and children, you’re part of the Sandwich Generation. Dorothy Miller coined this term in 1981.

Now let’s add another layer to the sandwich: if you’re taking care of your parents, children and grandchildren, you really are squished. And that’s when you’re part of the Club Sandwich Generation. Carol Abaya, who researches and lectures on the Sandwich Generation, refers to the Club Sandwich as individuals—usually in their 50s or 60s—who are caring for aging parents, adult children and grandchildren. She also speaks of a younger group, usually in their 30s and 40s, who care for young children, aging parents and grandparents. Given that people are marrying two or three times, you could also be in your 50s and beginning a new family, while caring for children, adult children, parents and grandchildren. How do you survive?

I have a close friend who cares for her husband, and who cared for her dying father, her aging mother, and her adult daughter. Her husband has been diagnosed with PSP, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, a rare brain disorder that affects walking, speech, swallowing, vision, mood and behavior. There is no cure to date, so individuals with this disease are treated only for their symptoms. It’s just one of many conditions that are debilitating individuals and families. I’m sure you have heard these stories or are experiencing similar stress.
Increasing lifespans and dependent adult children
According to the Journal of Financial Service Professionals, at the beginning of the 20th century between four and seven per cent of people in their 60s had at least one parent still living. Today, that figure is nearly 50 per cent.
Similarly, the percentage of young adults living with their parents has significantly increased. The 2011 Census of Population demonstrated that 42 per cent of young adults between the ages of 20 and 29 lived in their parents’ home. About ten years earlier only 25 per cent of young adults lived with parents. Perhaps that percentage is increasing due to lack of jobs for this age group, divorce, or emotional concerns such as depression and anxiety.
