Where do you draw the line ??? - 09/26/11 08:29 PM
I was talking ( OK, arguing ) with a supervisor who was aways criticzing this or that in our establishment, and praising some other companies that have more risk/reward type of job.
In a heated moment, I asked him why he stayed here all these years and why he didn't join this or that company. He responded that his wife refused the idea, and preferred the easy lifestyle she was having here.
I remembered another ( more friendly ) discussion we had earlier about his plans after retirement. He mentioned that he wanted to leave his city and move to a farm near a village, but - again - his wife wanted city life and couldn't stand cows and chickens.
That got me thinking about prepping. It is OK to change our plans regarding jobs ..etc. because of our loved ones, but many of us are facing some difficulties with spouses over such things as stockpiling food in the house.
Funny thing , when I was thinking about posting this question, I watched a U-tube video for Engineer775 and it was obvious that one of his teenage daughters was not happy with farm work.
So, how do you folks manage this , and where do you draw the line.
