Sandwich Generation

Just curious to see how many GenX'ers that are part of the sandwich generation (those sandwiched between aging parents who need care or help and their own children). What are your thoughts?

My mother-in-law lives with us. Currently she is a really big help with taking care of the household duties. Also my university/high school kids have a good bond with her too. There is some friction between all of the women in the house (daughter, wife, mother-in-law) but for the most part it's been great to have her with us.
