my boyfriends grandfather lives on a far in the middle of no where by himself he has lost his wife, mother, and father in the last year.!!!!! His farm is falling apart and he is so depressed from being alone all the time. My boyfriend being the caring person he is wants to quit his job and take care of his grandpa...... I really think that they should just make the grandpa move to town and sell the farm. of course that is not my call. Me and my boyfriend are barly gettin by with both of us working,,,,,,so i am a little scare but i do belive familly is more important than money. I also belive god will see his honorable deed of sacraficing money to take care of his grandfather so he will hopefully not let us struggle to much. what do you guys think

that's really tough! i hope your boyfriend wont mind if you just tell him to bring his grandpa in town. I don;t think money is an issue here, it's just about being practical choosing to bring grandpa with him. Grandpa can be taken care of in town too, plus there are nearby hospitals in case he needs to be medicated. the farm can be sold or rented out or maybe hire some relatives to look after the farm.

i wish it was that simple he wont sell it been in the familly way to long. He also told us he will not move away. it looks like my boyfriend will quit his job... I hope it will all work out. If his grandpa gets windmills on his land we can get by okay if not then it looks like im gonna have to work harder

ithink you guys should search for better jobs, or cut back on some of the money you are using for luxuries and things that aren't a necesity and offer his grandfather a place to stay.

Hi Jazzy
The point is that none of you should quit job. Money is not all but important to survive. So quitting job will ultimately pose problem in maintaining the family and taking care of grandpa. It is imperative that able persons take care of their older relatives. Both the values of family and job need to be balanced here. As you have mentioned that your boy friend is a caring person, i bet, i won't be difficult for him to take care of his grandpa and job. All the best.

well first of all, can your boyfriend work on the farm too?
because if quitting his job is the only option you two will make it will be very hard for you. I applaud your boyfriend kindness to be willing to take care of his grampa. not many people want to do that, you know. still, if he can make some earning while taking care of his grampa, it would be nicer. especially if you can see that the farm isn;t really in its most down level.

that is true i know taking care of your familly is a top priority versus money its a little hard for me to accept but that is because i have never really been in a familly setting. His grandpa needs him though and if it means i will have to work harder to keep us afloat then so be it. i am glad that you see taking care of familly is a huge priority
