Again, google to the rescue. The term Sandwich
Generation is being used to describe adults who now
have to care for both their children and their older
or ill parents--either in the home or elsewhere.
I found this, which describes the various kinds of
sandwiches:

The Sandwich Generation,©� definition:
* Traditional: those sandwiched between aging
parents who need care and/or help and their own
children.
* Club Sandwich: those in their 50s or 60s,
sandwiched between aging parents, adult children and
grandchildren. OR Those in their 30s and 40s, with
young children, aging parents and grandparents.
(Term coined by Carol Abaya)
* Open Faced: anyone else involved in elder care.
(Term coined by Carol Abaya)
