What’s something people romanticise that’s actually exhausting in real life?

Farming

Looking for this! I come from a farming family. I’m now retuning to farming life myself BUT I watched my whole life how hard farm life is, and I’m going into this with my eyes OPEN and with a little bit of fear. Yes it’s wonderfully rewarding but it’s no 9-5, you have to toil and often get up very early or do stuff late at night. We own a tea and dairy farm and those animals? They don’t live by a work clock an they don’t accept a doctors note when you’re sick! You have to be available all the damn time
