Between now and 2030, about 10,000 Americans will turn 65 every single day, giving rise to a term known as the "sandwich generation" — adults who find themselves caring for their aging parents while still raising their own children. CBS News spoke to one woman about her struggles.

I remember being there for my mother when she was diagnosed with cancer—cooking meals for her, taking her to appointments, telling her stories to try and make her laugh. I have a personal experience with caregiving, so I understand the difficulty Americans have when caring for children, caring for aging parents—and for the sandwich generation, caring for both. That’s why my economic plan will help caregivers by cutting the cost of child care and elder care—and we will give all working people access to paid leave.

As tariff talk grows louder, a CBS News Poll finds 75% of Americans expect prices to rise in the short-term, and nearly half say the same about the long-term. CBS News' Weijia Jiang goes inside one company in East Barre, Vermont, already living the “Made in America” model – but even they rely on imports now subject to a 10% tariff.

‼️Jasmine Crockett.‼️ says Americans dont need DOGE giving them 5,000 dollars of their own money back. Let's remember Jasmine is a Democrat whose net worth is between 2 million to 9 million dollars. "It must be nice not worrying about money while telling every American who is struggling to find their own way because they dont need their money back."

Whether you grew up with a mother, a father, both, or even neither… one thing is true: There are parents out there who wake up every single day and push themselves to the limit just to keep their children alive, fed, clothed, and safe.

A lady gathered her children and spoke to them about their father’s struggles to show him deep appreciation. She told them about everything they’ve faced as a family and how their dad works 12 hours every day to provide for them. She also shared that when they were close to losing their legal permission to stay in the UK, he was so overwhelmed that he was ready to take his own life, feeling ready to sacrifice everything for his family. In the end, she appreciated her husband openly, and they all went on their knees to thank their father for all he has done.

Dear Americans, Imagine this for a moment: What if 15 to 20 U.S. states were overrun by gangs, raping adults/children every single day? Now imagine if Trump never addressed it — never spoke about it or acknowledged it. That’s happening in Britain right now.

The most progressive parents in the United States are giving their children the most traditional names. “People with options choose the safest [names] for their own children, while praising risk and novelty for everyone else,” Rob Henderson says. “In my journey from foster care to Yale, I coined a term for this pattern: luxury beliefs.” 🔗 Read more about what the latest data on baby names says about progressives:

What kind of childhood are parents are giving to their kids? Children line up at hostel windows weekend, eyes wide, searching for their parents in everyone who enters the hostel. Their hearts race at every horn, every shadow that looks like their father’s, every voice that sounds like their mother’s. For these children, a hug from their parents is not daily it is rationed to weekends, treasured like a festival Childhood should be about freedom, love, and play not about waiting and counting days to feel loved in person. Yes, they learn discipline. Yes, they learn to be strong. But a BIG part of their childhood is quietly sacrificed.

#WATCH | Delhi: A lot of parents keep on giving examples of other children to their children. Parents should avoid doing these things... We have also seen that those parents who have not been very successful in their lives, have nothing to say or want to tell the world about their successes, and achievements, make the report card of their children as their visiting card. Whenever they meet someone, they will tell them the story of their children: PM Modi at 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' 2024

Every generation gets tested. Most people watch. Some complain. A few step forward and carry the weight. Fifty years from now, our children and grandchildren won’t remember every news cycle, every talking point, or every political fight. They’ll remember who stood up when America was at a crossroads. I truly believe one day another mountain will rise beside Mount Rushmore, and these men will be remembered as part of the generation that refused to let America fall. History doesn’t belong to the loudest voices. It belongs to the people who changed the outcome. One day, we’ll see who was right.

VERY SHAMEFUL! It is very shameful for parents to sleep in the CBD streets while sending their children to beg for money or hawk goods. I intervened in one such case today, and we will continue to rescue many more. No child deserves to be used as a source of income while their parents neglect their responsibility.

For some dads, the idea of leaving their children with some financial security is both a gift and a priority. CBS News New York anchor Jessica Moore spoke to author of “The Coffee Can Investor” and former CBS News president Neeraj Khemlani about how he hopes all families can receive financial autonomy.

An industrial whore who has been fucked by top actors, movie producers and directors and has alot of her sexual related videos online talking about God will always be funny to me. As soon as they pass their prime, hit their 30s, and desperately looking for a husband, they start displaying themselves as one God fearing woman talking about Jesus on podcast. The shame whore veteran who did a BBL in her prime. These bed to bed midfielders are a joke.
