I don’t think there IS a topic for our thread, is there?
Maybe the outdoorsman/hunter will grow more interested with time. My son is a fanatic about hunting, and to a lesser degree my daughter and son-in-law and the kids. They all go hunting geese, ducks, doves (ew), & turkeys together. The kids look funny in their camo with their small rifles lol.
Soap and cheese? My daughter would LOVE to spend a day with you! She’s a real homesteader - she was going to attempt cheese making awhile back. I don’t know what happened to that....I’ll have to ask her lol. Like she doesn’t have enough to do with the 3 kids home-schooled. A couple of years ago they raised 150 meat birds for the freezer. They pitched a tent to kill and clean the birds. Gross. The kids didn’t seem to mind it - it was a little much for me. No thanks. I’ll get my chicken cleaned and ready to cook from the store lol.
Matt loses a lamb now and again. I guess you get used to it. He’s got about 500 ewes that give birth twice a year, so I guess you have to be prepared to lose one now and then. They’re nice animals. I like sheep.
I hope your boys take more of an interest. I don’t know how old they are.....can you limit the computer stuff?
Our older son is in his 20s and keeps our freezer full of venison and duck. My younger son is in college, he doesn’t just play games, he likes to build computers and host his own servers, etc. It’s his thing, lol. He has allergies and the hay and animals do a number on him.
Sounds like I’d have a lot in common with your daughter, I homeschooled too. Also have chickens, a garden, do canning, all of it. It’s a full time “job” lol
