man when you are raised on a farm you might not remember when something went from just something you did to help others and carry your own weight became a job.yet in the last century a youngster was often lent to a relative or neighbor at any age over 10 to learn something and not be in the way . as jean sheppard states, each generation thinks they had it harder than the next generation, which is factually true. the fence and hay crews give you only a few screw ups, or the looks and sentences you will remember for life roar quickly. I did yard work for a dear old lady that paid me with a small tupperware of leftovers and 35 cents as that was what she could afford .I mowed the lawns on both sides of her yard and it was expected..{ the average lawn went for $2.75 then [ I detested trimming that yard , so many bushes fences and trees , but when done , to sit in the shade eating homemade pie, casserole or such as she pointed out the places done well and a few that needed redone and the edging. there are up and down sides to a paying job with tax forms and a check.
