Are You Squeezed?

We're collecting the stories no one prepares you for.

The moments that are equal parts hilarious, heartbreaking, and wildly uncomfortable. The stuff you'd never say out loud at a dinner party—but everyone living it instantly understands.

We want your most absurd, tragically funny, painfully embarrassing stories about caring for an aging parent or loved one—along with the family dynamics that come with it.

The unpredictable demands, the role reversals, the chaos, the tenderness… the arguments with siblings, the group texts, the moments where you didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or hide in the bathroom for five minutes.

Nothing is too small. Nothing is too weird. In fact, the weirder, the better.

If you've ever found yourself thinking, "Is this really my life right now?" — that's exactly what we're looking for.

Send it in. You're not the only one.
