The series, which kicks off at 7 p.m. Wednesday (Sept. 10), aims to connect women who are caring for kids and aging parents, trying to find a job or dealing with any other midlife issues.
The group will meet four times: Sept. 10, Oct. 8, Nov. 5 and Dec. 10.

    Dear Mr. Woodyard,

    Hi. How are you?
    Do you have any advice for someone who is looking for part time or even full time work while going back to school? I’ve decided to go back to school to get an associates in diatician tech at Westchester Community College, however cannot get a part time job. Got any ideas? Thanks for your time.
    Sincerely,
    Mary Quarrie

About this blog

We've been called "the sandwich generation" and with good reason. Most of today's baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) are dealing with aging parents and college-age kids -- or starting again as empty nesters, adapting to a new life without children at home.


In the Middle will address a variety of topics, including caring for aging parents (medical, ethical, emotional and financial issues) and caring for parents long-distance (what do we do when parents live out of state, or are citizens of another country and we can't bring them to the U.S. for medical care?).


It will also cover the way we deal with the financial and emotional demands of our teenage and young-adult children. Middle age also presents its own "crises": How do we handle that first mailing from AARP? Preventive health screenings (like colonoscopies and bone-density tests)? What are the dating options for those who find themselves single in middle age?


In the Middle will explore all these topics and more, as we share resources and learn from each other's experiences.
