Maybe you should try it? See if all that physical work improves your state of mind and burns a pound of butter off your ass at the same time. Then, ofc, there's the kind of strong friendships that tend to be built by people working tough jobs in adverse conditions.
I mean, I know who I'd call if I murdered someone and needed to bury a body quick in broad daylight.
At some point, whatever ethical responsibilities parents have to children give way to the ethical responsibility you have for yourself, and it would be silly to harp on the one while ignoring or denying the other. This is the lesson of the farmwork, this is the lesson of the discretionary cash. You want something? Go get it. You've got an allowance. Not enough? Fatten those pigs little man. Draw a map from where you are to where you want to be and walk that path.
