Just as we think we have more free time because the kids have left home, our parents need additional assistance and care.  Not surprisingly this care often falls to women.  The feelings of guilt, frustration and effects on relationships with spouses, siblings, children and our parents can become negative.  Liz and Michelle explore how we can approach this new phase of our lives in a smart way, avoiding resentment and finding the balance.
We ask our own mums their thoughts on 'later life living' and talk to special guests, Anne Bangs and Doreen Hall from TLC Senior Relocation Specialists based in New Jersey about their realistic and helpful advice on how we can plan the transition for our parents, with our parents.  One of the key takeaways was communication and honesty.  There's too much to talk about in one podcast so this is Part 1.
