Coping with aging parents, growing kids and everything in the middle

Enough with the cougars?

September
23

Yes, I am also getting very tired of the word “cougar.’’ But I’m going to watch the new TV series “Cougar Town,” debuting tonight at 9:30 on ABC.

I know in advance that the lead character looks nothing like the typical woman over 40: she’s played by Courteney Cox. Anyway…I’m curious about the show.

Think it will be a waste of time?

    It’s all Mrs. Robinson’s fault. Then of course came Mrs. Wormer and Stifler’s Mom. ;-)
    Yes, a pure waste, like all these half baked not so real reality shows.

    It’s called entertainment. I watched it and liked it. I like Courtney Cox.
    I agree, that I may have have had one friend who looked like that at 40. How is she divorced and own a home without working 7 days a week at 3 jobs. I think that bothers me more than the fact she looks 10 years younger.

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.
