The squeeze of the " sandwich generation" where elderly parents and children or even grandchildren, in my case, present contending priorities.

“三明治一代” 的挤压，在我看来，年迈的父母和孩子甚至孙子们提出了竞争的优先事项。

The sandwich generation refers to people who care for their aging parents at the same time that they provide care for children living in their household.

三明治一代指的是在照顾家中孩子的同时还要照顾年迈的父母。
