[QUOTE="Timboh81, post: 7491699, member: 155466"] Just wondering if anyone else is in our situation and what they came up with if anything... We have been working full time on the same farm for a long long time sheep beef and arable doing all/most jobs ourselves. Bringing the kids with us when ever needed.. Now obviously covid has messed up a lot of stuff and last lambing we brought them with us and they done their home schooling in the lambing shed.. Until the wife was furloughd to home school them after lambing until the summer... The kids usually get passed between grandparents when school holidays etc but obviously due to the current situation that is not an option.. Anyway when we are lambing (1000 ewes) the wife would bring them back down the lambing shed where they would help (they are 8 and 11 BTW) feed bedding lambing etc after school ... Now we have nearly finished lambing the boss has suddenly decided he doesn't want them on the farm due to insurance etc etc which I do understand but what are we ment to do with them especially as Easter holidays are fast approaching.. All he says is its not his problem but I think he is forgetting that it will be as I will be pretty much on my own as the wife is gonna have to take holiday to look after them. Any advice would be greatly received. [/QUOTE]
