Just the Two of Us Again - December Edition

More and more couples are finding themselves members of the Sandwich Generation. They are dealing with adult children returning home, and aging parents who need care. They find that their own hopes and dreams of their midlife together are vanishing.

Having an intergenerational household doesn't necessarily mean chaos, stress, division and disappointment. By communicating expectations, setting down guidelines for everyone in the family to follow, and keeping a sense of humor, cluttered nests can be life-giving ones.

Some keys to coping include taking care of yourselves first, keeping lines of communication open, scheduling alone time with each other, maintaining your privacy, and not putting your life on hold.
