[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 645179, member: 14557"] Jabber: Around here not working on the family farm isn't much of an option - if you are not able to get really far away ;) Husband's family's farm is not really passed on to anyone officially. None of the kids showed much interest becoming a farmer after father in law originally. Later on one of my husband's sisters got enough of her job as corporate lawyer, moved in with the organic farmer and became farmer herself and is renting father in law's fields. My husband keeps up the forest side of the farm (though he really doesn't like the work, but father in law still does most of it and also helps sister in law considerably, he is just too old for EU bureaucrats to be one running the farm officially) and during the busy times everyone who can't run far enough (Australia tends to be rather safe bet, Bolivia also worked fine for brother in law for couple of years) or come up with good enough excuse (being on your death bed or something similar) is certainly guilt tripped into helping out. At least if not some more appropriate victim can be found first (like last spring when Ache ended up doing most of sister in law's spring work for her, because she was injured and father in law had something else urgent. Ache has three vacation weeks a year by CBA of his sport, he spent about all of that sitting in the tractor, 16 to 20 hours a day, harrowing, planting and all that after he was spot tanning in our balcony and so giving away that he actually didn't have anything worthwhile to do.) And I shouldn't have anything to do with the whole thing, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't have spent a night just a week ago (-10 F without wind chill, something totally else with it) running around trying to catch sister in law's cows after they decided their cowshed was mighty boring place and they would rather go and look their fortune from nearby suburbia. :D [/QUOTE]
