As parents get older & children grow into adults we generally expect them to become independent & this reduces the load on parents.
However, when children have disabilities which affecting their ability to become & remain independent, the expectation and reality of parent's lives can be that they are caring for offspring into adulthood.
There are people, (mostly women) who may also be caring for their own parents as they age. Others may be caring for their spouse or partner due to illness or disability as well as juggling other family responsibilities.
Other carers are children & teenagers who themselves, providing care for a parent/s with disabilities.
Some grandparents take on care of their grandchildren when their own offspring either are unable or unwilling to provide care for their children.
What is your experience ? Who do you care for i.e adult offspring? Parents? Someone else ?
Do you get any help ?
