Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

The issue of adult children caring for their aging parents is affecting more people than ever before. According to a recent study, the percentage of Americans who care for an elderly parent has tripled during the past 15 years and now represents a quarter of all adult children.
In her new book, OH MY GOD! WERE PARENTING OUR PARENTS: How to Transform this Remarkable Challenge into a Journey of LoveJane Wolf Waterman, M.S.W., J.D. cuts to the chase with insight and practical advice for the millions of adults caring for their aging parents.
OH MY GOD! WERE PARENTING OUR PARENTS addresses topics including emotional issues, financial and legal problems, disagreements between siblings, resistance among parents to accept care from their children, long-distance logistical challenges, common obstacles faced by adult children and elderly parents, planning in advance to take care of ones parents, maintaining normal life balance while tending to aging parents, the impact and role of grandchildren and many other areas that are critical to dealing with elderly parents.
Among many other things, the book will teach readers how to:
- Identify the initial signs elderly parents need help.
- Decide if they are the right person for the job.
- Maintain family and career while taking care of elderly parents.
- Redefine relationships with parents and siblings.
- Assess the needs of senior parents and find the right services and help.
- Heal old family wounds that will interfere with taking care of ones parents.
- Evaluate an aging parents ability to live alone, and
- Compassionately talk with an elderly parent about their need for help or changes that need to be made.
Adult children caring for their senior loved ones is becoming a rapidly increasing issue in the United States. According to various sources:
- 11,000 people turn 65 every day and become eligible for Medicare.
- In 2009, more than 44 million Americans provided care to one or more family members over the age of 50.
- The number of Americans 65 and older is expected to double to 80 million during the next 30 years.
- The fastest-growing age group is people 85 and older, with more than 6.6 million people expected to be in that bracket by 2020, and
- 90 percent of senior citizens said they want to remain in their homes instead of going into an assisted living facility
