“Caring for young children and elderly parents, and wrestling with resentment”

“Caring for young children and elderly parents, and wrestling with resentment,” by Sara Peterson, Washington Post

“My husband Brett and I have two kids, and their entrances into the world coincided with my in-laws having to replace canes with walkers. We have spent the last few years researching school districts while simultaneously reading up on assisted living communities. This bilateral process of caregiving is disorienting, complicated and difficult. For everyone. . . . We understand in the most visceral, messy ways why so many books are written about crafting end of life plans while you’re still young, we’re all grasping why having these hard conversations before you are forced to have them makes sense.”
