Her husband does not help her at all since he’s consumed with his job. When he gets home from work, he pets the animals and says to their children she’s doing the best job caring for them.
She never signed up for this, and she’s run down playing farmer. Their children are so into the sheep and chickens, and any time she brings up perhaps shutting it down, their kids exclaim that they adore the animals and guilt her into keeping them.
This wasn’t what she wanted; it’s what her husband wanted, and she doesn’t find it fair that he dumped this all on her.
“I didn’t sign up to be a shepherd and chicken whisperer,” she added. “But I also don’t want to be the villain who says goodbye to these feathery and woolly adorable friends.”
She’s left wondering how she can rope her husband into pitching in without making it seem like a negative thing.
“Any advice on making this sustainable (or maybe tips on how to re-home a sheep without traumatizing the kids) would be greatly appreciated!” she concluded.
What advice do you have for her?
