And the caregiving is going the other way.

And so now if you just think about that, if you think about the math of that, that used to be like, all right, from here we were getting an input and that was going into this output of child caregiving.

Now...

Child caregiving has doubled.

Our time with our kids have doubled.

And instead of receiving an input here, we've got another output here.

Our labor going towards our parents instead of their labor coming in, right?

Because for actually our parents' generation, right, they were able to have help from grandparents, right?

Exactly.

Exactly.

And I think that shift is coming earlier.

And so for some people, it is the sandwich generation of it's hitting while their kids still need a lot, right?

Versus hitting once they're empty nesters.

And then you would say like, okay, now I have bandwidth for this.

But it's like, oh, okay, whoa.

And I don't know if you feel this way, but for me, it's like, oh my God, your parents just age all of a sudden, right?

You just all of a sudden wake up and you're like,

wow, this happened.

I was not ready for this, right?

And it appears in a phase of your life where you're still feeling like, oh, I was still trying to make all of that add up, and now I've got to introduce this to it.
