With the widening age gap between parents and their kids, children brace for a new era of elder care. The "Sandwich Generation" was coined for adults whose responsibilities include taking care of their parents and children. Matt Livadary explores this dynamic with his aging father. Is taking care of our parents at younger and younger ages the new normal?
