“Confessions of a Juggler” is an article written by Tina Fey, an American actress, comedian, producer, writer, and mother of one. Fey graduated from the University of Virginia with a degree in drama in 1992. She is famous for her impressions of Sarah Palin on the popular television show Saturday Night Live. In Fey's article it is stated that “the topic of working moms is a tap dance in a minefield” which implies that it will not end well being such a sensitive topic. "Oh, brother!" is an article written by Hara Estroff, author, journalist and editor. Although Estroff does not have a degree in psychology, she has been an editor at Psychology Today for 15 years, where she writes a regular advice column. In Estroff's article she hints that “The brothers are in her struggle, she is worried that her only child at this time cannot handle the pressure of having to take care of her and her husband when they are old. She says, "It's too much pressure for my daughter to expect her to take on all that homework on her own." This struggle is something that concerns her throughout the article. Estroff states that “The moment of truth for the relationship between adult siblings is the aging of the parents and decisions about end-of-life parental care.” Both authors believe that the most difficult time for siblings who will have to face life's problems is when their parents get to the point where they cannot take care of themselves. During that time is the moment of truth for the brothers, whether they can handle the pressure together and work together through the tough choices, or whether it could cause them to fall apart. These situations force the siblings to face their differences for the sake of the parent, or their differences are so enormous that the burden of the parent falls on one of them or the parent is left to their own devices, which could end up in a conflict. nursing care
