We have a mere 4.78 acres and none of our "children" who are adults care one bit. We are within 1/4 mi of thousands of acres of state land. They think we are nuts "at our age" to live in an old house that we constantly are fixing. Wells and septic take maintenance, trees have to be felled, snow has to be plowed..all stuff they don't want to do. They would rather wear the mask, take their vax and bitch about how they have to drive to see us. We are thinking we need more land, not less.
They did not suffer enough, life too comfy.
My father had land in the mountains, and one day, we have no other choice but to go live there. Ofc it was an awful idea and we ended up coming back to society. The point is, things got so bad, we actually did it. That stays with you. You know it can get that bad that quickly now.
There's not a fix for this, you were GOOD to prevent this sort of thing for your children, but you cant have it both ways.
