More about the book
Focusing on family dynamics across the life cycle, this book challenges common misconceptions about adult children caring for aging parents. The authors, John R. Logan and Glenna D. Spitze, present evidence that relationships between parents and their adult children remain strong, countering myths of isolation among the elderly. They reveal that parents often provide more assistance than they receive until age seventy-five, and while daughters are primary caregivers, sons contribute significantly through support like visits and transportation.
