Who Cares for the Sandwich carers?

What an honour to be invited to the BBC Radio Nottingham to talk about the sandwich carers: people who are “sandwiched” between taking care of their children under 18 and the aging elder relatives and… Trying to have a life at the same time.

For some people it is doable and enjoyable, but for at least 25% it puts a big strain on their physical and mental health, according to a very recent study conducted by UCL. I know it all too well. I am a sandwich carer who is not coping well.

In this short interview me and the Radio host Kelly Pegg @theofficialhotmessmum are discussing the issue from personal and professional point of view. Feel free to listen to the talk following the link in the first comment and share your opinion about it
