[QUOTE="waterbuffalofarmer, post: 6748778, member: 54454"] I have spoken to my parents about it. Initially my father was supportive of whatever I wanted to do, but my mother guilt trips me a lot if I say I don't want to do farming or such. They have always said to me I didn't have to farm if I didn't want to, but when I say I don't want to it's almost a case of roll the eyes and whatever. At least it feels that way. At this point I'm only doing this for them because they set up the business and I feel a kind of duty towards making it work. Im giving it a few years and if there's an opportunity elsewhere and the business doesn't work then I'll go. Currently I'm just too lazy to make sh!t work elsewhere and it's so hard to set up businesses nowadays. My ideal is just have a job I can somewhat enjoy and do and maybe a few animals on the side for me to keep and enjoy. I hate the fact you breed to sell them all the time and make products to sell to others. Everything you do there's always money signs at the end. For me that's what I despise about farming. I don't think I can talk to my GP about it, they will tell me what I don't want to hear really. This is the dilemma I face, in short. I talked to my brother about it and he said the choice is in my hands, if I don't want to farm I don't have to, the fact I'm holding myself back because my parents don't want me to leave, is my own decision because I'm allowing that to influence me personally. I think he has a point here tbh. Thanks for that, I'll have a think about FCN. [/QUOTE]
