I've never met a farmer's wife who wasn't run ragged and know more than a few who have run away from home. And farmers are mostly in debt up to their eyeballs. Farmers only get rich, if they stop farming and sell the land. That's why so many commit suicide.
Farming in Australia must not be a real job.
The guy I was dating before my husband inherited a largish farm and I'm very glad I missed out on that, TBH.
I am a devops engineer who happens to own a farm. I do my chores before work, during lunch and in the evening. Farming isn't hard, but if you're a crop farmer you're kinda retarded. My wife pretty much handles the garden and cooking and cleaning, when the kids come, she'll home school them.
There's no homeschooling here. And there aren't really any farmer's wives that don't "work", as their jobs are how the family gets health insurance and stuff.
Socialism without the socialized medicine then? Sounds wack. My day job is how we have health insurance and other benefits. The farming is just like a side hustle that gives us the quality of food I could never afford and pays for the property.
Her waitress job basically just pays for her doing fun stuff which Ive agreed to pay for when she starts popping out babies.
Kinda wack that home schooling isn't a thing where you live considering the quality of stuff on the internet.
The Nazis banned it, to prevent people from becoming anti-Nazis. The Allies kept the ban for the opposite reason.
We only have private health insurance, but some insurances receive top-ups from taxes.
I think you have us confused with France and Britain.
You said there is no home schooling, which implies it's all public, so socialism.
But you don't have socialized health care, cuz people's health care is tied to their jobs.
At least in the state you can homeschool and get really shitty govt health insurance.

Wheat and barley isn't a real job except during harvest. Ditto canola.
Sheep aren't a real job except during lambing season, and that's only if you don't believe in "acceptable losses".
Beef cattle... not a job. Buy a hat, show up, pose at saleyards.
Dairy. Yeah that's a job. Ditto for orchards.
Vegetables... your children will run away at puberty and never, ever, return.
Sheep and cattle and pigs are a job if you practice rotational grazing at scale, which is the right way to do things.
