  1. I am a MOM in my 50s with three young adults. My eldest 22year old son sent this on our family chat group. I cannot believe it that I cried after reading it. Now that I am a Mommy,… but DONT ALL OF US HAVE MOMMIES too??? Think HARD how we are treating our Dearest One & Only Mom … the one that gave birth to us.

  2. Wow, this post really hits home! I appreciate how you highlighted the need for open conversations with our parents about health and financial matters. It’s so real that we often take these discussions for granted until it’s too late. The part about understanding the stress our parents carry and how it impacts their well-being was a solid reminder for me; it makes me think about my own folks and how I can support them better.

    So, I’m wondering, what do you think might be the top three things we should definitely discuss with our parents to avoid regrets later? I’m asking this because I feel like many of us in the sandwich generation often hold back from these conversations, but the earlier we start, the easier it will be for both sides. It’s about finding that balance, right?
