Hm, Lets see, that's cooking (chef's wages), cleaning (housekeeper/maids wages), Working the farm (Farmhand wages), childcare (nanny wages), for something akin to 13 or 14+ years. I would check the going rate for these over the years and hand him a bill. But then I'm snarky like that.
Hi J. Nice pictures in the previous post, quietann pointed me over here.
Hope it all works out. But I would talk to him, find out his motivation, is he just being cheap or does he think your mood and/or well being will benefit from getting *off-site* a few days a week. Maybe a part-time job would be good for you, to get away from all the things you do on the farm. A change of scenery a few days a week as it were. But I would make sure he knows that if you do start working off the property that he needs to kick in and pick up some of the things you do around the place. And that he would likely need to hire a new farmhand to pick up the slack.
