The first thing I said to Ren after he told me on MSN was DON'T GO. Based on all the info given ( yes Alan, really ) and the controlling and insensitive nature of these relatives as Ren has mentioned, it really does come across in such a way as makes me think they just want rid of him for a year.

As though they think palming him off onto someone else ASAP , and making him do some hard farm work to earn his keep will improve him in some way. All very thinly disguised as an "opportunity"

If the relative had to be persuaded to take him on in the first place ( read original post) this suggests that he doesn't really need or want that much help on the farm. If he did, he would have suggested it himself, or at least wouldn't have needed convincing or persuading at all.
