My husbands parents own a farm. He grew up on the farm and it's very important to him. He wants to take it over when they decide to stop. My problem is that we hardly ever get an evening or weekend to ourselves. We live a few houses down from them and they are constantly calling him to come down there to help with something. It sometimes aggrevates him as well, but he still goes. We are newleyweds and it's like our marriage isn't our own. Our routine during the week is, I come home and fix dinner and feed the pets/he comes home and we eat/I put the food away and we go down to his parents because they have called him about needing something that evening. I'm starting to regret buying a house so close to them. My family only lives about 5 miles away and yet we hardly ever go see them, but we are at his parents at least 3-4 times a week and on the weekends. I have discussed this with him before and it just results in an argument. He doesn't see the problem.

  1. honey, i think this is the "farmer's wife" syndrome.  you should of known what you were getting into. being a farmer is one of the hardest jobs there is. when your husband takes over the farm, & his parents aren't going to be around, i think it will probably be the same.
