Well here is the age old problem. Me dad did the same thing to me back in 1970 when I got home from Nam. He was getting to the point that he couldn't handle it by himself and the whole time I was "over there" I just figured I would start helping out when I got home, being the only one that was interested in the farm anyway. He wouldn't have anything to do with that idea. Rented it out, to some nice neighbors, but rented it out. Maybe the best in the long run, cause close friends, and family especially shouldn't work together in a financial partnership. The quickest way in the world to alienate each other. I think it was mainly because he came up during the depression and he didn't want me to get "stuck" on the farm like he did. I still want to farm, and it wasn't till I met my present wife that I got to start, at the ripe age of 54. You couldn't drag me off now. About the only thing you can do with the setup like it is would be to just back off gracefully and without hard feelings and see how it goes and drop the hint about three times a day that you would sure like to help when needed. I don't know why our parents are sometimes so bullheaded and "can't see what's good for them" like we can. Maybe it's called experience or something, but Ya it bites sometimes, but without your name on the dotted line, there isn't much you can do about it. Maybe honey might in the long run collect more bees than vinigar. Don't know, but good luck, Harley
