ATM he's taking over rearing the calves and he never noticed one a a real dirty white scour until i seen it today, all he does is throw milk in drinker and walks off and leaves them drink on there on, cant get through to him to stay with them.
Told him i was going to tube the calf tonight because i new she was drinking no milk and was getting worse and he wouldn't here of it.

Theres no talking to him. Sometimes ye would just feel like fcukin off and see how he manages on his own....

your dead on there. I reared the first 5 heifers and they were weaned last week. Fine heifers, the vet even said they were and thats unusual for him. The ones my father started looking after are just terrible i think

Like my fathers . He is an awful man for leaving every implement with a wooden handle in the hedges to be handy for the next Time he wants it., usually forgets where he leaves them. Then when I do find them and start to use it the hadles always break.

I suppose I'm sorta close to being an auld fella.
I moaned and complained too.

Then he was gone in an instant.

Complain lads, it's normal.
Just not too much.

I'm not down on moaning about the auld fella. I did it too. I'm sure my girls do it too. We all do it. I still give about Mumbo jumbo he believed in.
Just one evening we were having a bit of crack. Then a few hours later a call in the night and that was it.
No final words, no nothing. Just memories.

That's life bbam. When I kick the bucket I'd like to check out like that. There's far worse ways. Death's very final though, so I suppose we should make the most of our time here.

In fairness he has given in , twice this week I tried to go and talk to him but once I started talking I got so mad that I had to leave again . We arent arguing about the farm , my grandmother has been put into a home when she didnt want to go by his brothers and sisters and he couldnt stand up to them and take her out .

Serious stuff Moy! What would the implications for running the farm be if your grandmother stays at home?

No implications . And even if there was , I would sooner sell the farm rather than put someone into a home against there wishes .

He is the eldest , got left everything but was to look after the parents till they died . He has done this always in fairness , paid for their car, heating , esb maintained the house .
She got alzheimers a few years ago and a couple of his sisters started collecting her pension and supposedly looking after her . Her alzheimers isnt bad yet but all of a sudden they said she needs 24hr care because they cant cope with her . I offered to take her I with me and they said no way and got all the other siblings to side with them by telling them that she is too demented to move in with anyone even though she is not .
Im fierce disappointed that he didnt stand up to them and just take her in himself .

Try and sort it asap. My father got people outside the family involved and they made things worse , but they werent there when he needed help.

Even though the auld lad is live and kicking here, he is now Granda and to my two boys I'm the auld lad!! I even heard the 5 yo telling the 11 yo that when he is in charge things will be done differently. As much as a pain that auld lads are they are still very useful, you just cannot buy the experience that they have.

Myself and the father get on very well, I am terrified of the day coming when he's not around.
