What they do?!? Hmm..
Could be they do the same thing as in the city. Just with slightly more effort, with a lot less. Less space. Less amenities, conveniences, appliances. Generally its an endless battle against the dirt, elements for invading the personal space. Generally doctors for kids are not down the block. So with the grocery, supermarket. Then there the issues that only country life brings on, like children vs. the wild outdoors. Close (too close) neighbors.. And the list goes on..
