I'm go short on details, mostly for the sake of the others in this thread that we kind of took over.I think you're going to need to share the work with your kids. Otherwise, what would happen when you have to travel for work? Who would take care of your wife? If you just try to get people to do things in an ad hoc way, you will always be nagging and kids will be resisting. Call a family meeting, get kids to list all chores, build a chart. Let them assign chores if possible. Your only job should be doing your job, paying the bills, taxes, paperwork.
SureWell played!

Sounds like your mom is where she needs to be at this point in her life.My mom lives a couple thousand miles away and will never move. She would never leave the farm for one thing. My youngest sister, never married, lives with her now, and another sister lives nearby with her family, so she has family around. She still sounds real lonely though. She's always been real active but is starting to slow down.
My family was farm-centric to an extreme degree. When they would come out here, they wouldn't spend much time with us because we lived in town, and when we'd visit there, my dad was always too busy with his precious farm to spend much time with us. As a result my kids barely ever knew them. Yeah it's a sore subject. Despite this, I try my best to be a good son, call regularly and talk about things that cheer her up. She put up with my dad for half a century; she deserves a good life in her golden years (though she refuses to admit she's getting old, she's always been so active).
Is not the whole point of the line in the sand that it is absolute? Is it not then "all or nothing"? Cross or do not cross. One can take these philosophical concepts a bit too far at times. I think that may have happened a few times in this thread.I suppose it would depend on context. Generally I associate a strong moral stance with a line in the sand that one does not cross, but where there is plenty of gradient leading up to it. "All or nothing" to me is absolutism, which is a flawed way to think. Life isn't a binary set of A vs B decisions - it's way more complex.
Ahhh. An analog to "Home is the place where, if you have to go there, they have to take you in." From Robert Frost's poem "Death of the Hired Man." One of his very long poems, and one of my favorites.Grandparents are where, if you show up, they always are happy to see you.
Yes, but Grandparents don't have to be happy to see you!Ahhh. An analog to "Home is the place where, if you have to go there, they have to take you in." From Robert Frost's poem "Death of the Hired Man." One of his very long poems, and one of my favorites.
Docks, not ducks.All or nothing in Religion has to be the biggest ....Pair Of Ducks.
Religion sets standards you can't ever meet, but are supposed to work at attaining the goal when you die.
Whether you die at birth or 110 years old. You still do not attain the goal until you die.
This is a system in place in most religions. Even reincarnation, is a system of living a life a certain way so the
next is rewarding.
As far as buying other Pair Of Ducks, all or nothing.
Other then you break in my house to have all I do. You will end life there with nothing.
You don't have a pair, only Steven Seagull.Docks, not ducks.

With that out of the way, I'm sorry to hear that you feel superior to most of the planet.
You told someone to go pound sand?The problem with sand is it gets in your butt crack and you don't know it so when you shower and see all the sand in the shower you freak out a little and wonder where the hell did all this sand come from?
I hate that.
