[QUOTE="Badshot, post: 7139690, member: 362"] This is difficult. On one hand he feels that if he doesn't do the work, it won't get done, therefore could have disastrous consequences on income. On the other he's getting pulled to have time out, which with a family invariably means quite high costs if you're going places. So potentially for him he only see's costs associated with having time off. I know from personal experience when the bank is in constant overdraft at home, and all you hear is that we never go and do anything it is recipe for disaster. I obviously know nothing of your finances, but the above is a very common situation on farm. The most important thing is to talk this sort of thing over. Show interest in what he's doing, learn about the farm, help lessen his load by simply being there to support him. He'll feel much more inclined to take a few hours out on a Sunday afternoon if he enjoys your time together, which he won't be if he's getting nagged all the time about work. Oh, and organise things that HE will enjoy too, there's nothing worse than being stuck doing something that isn't enjoyable whilst thinking you ought to be doing something on farm. [/QUOTE]
