Parental Advisory In Reverse
Welcome to Parental Advisory — In Reverse, a podcast for Gen-Xers suddenly parenting the people who raised us.
I’m Allison — a 50-year-old daughter caregiving for both parents at once: my dad is receiving hospice care, and my mom recently lost her driving privileges.
It’s the joy, the tears, the snark, and the dark humor that come when the roles flip and midlife gets very real.
From unpaid bills to ice cream runs to brain tumors and bittersweet laughs, we’ll figure it out together — because Gen-X has been figuring shit out since the 80s.
🎙️ Honest. Emotional. Funny.

Episode 2: Love, Friction, and Full-Time Caregiving with Tracy
In this episode, I sit down with my friend Tracy, who found herself unexpectedly living full-time with her parents and carrying the weight of round-the-clock caregiving—no breaks, barely any breathing room, just a hard dose of reality for everyone involved.
Tracy talks openly about the mix of love and friction in her family, how caregiving tested her in ways she never saw coming, and what it was like when she and her siblings had to make the difficult decision to move their mother into a care facility after their father passed away unexpectedly.
We explore the real, unpolished side of caregiving: shifting family roles, emotional whiplash, and the massive gap between what we think caregiving will be and what it truly demands.
If you’re navigating caregiving—or love someone who is—you’ll feel seen in this conversation.
Take Care.
