This is a new term to me, have you heard of it? A sandwich mom is a mother who is part of the "sandwich generation," which refers to people who care for both their children and their aging parents. Sandwich moms are often in their late 30s to 50s and probably provide financial, physical, or emotional care for their children and their parents. It's an entirely different ball game, because as your're running your child to ballgames and dr appointments and every other place they need you to drive them to, now its doubled because you are also now driving your parent to bingo, doctors appointments and every other place they also need you to drive them to. I know for sure that you need a great support system. Ask your friends. Do not be embarrassed to ask if and how they're caring for both their children and also caring for their parents.
