Animal Love

[Bacchus]

I think it would be great to be able to "hire" the kids in town to feed and pet your farm animals. Kids love animals and this seems a logical conclusion for up-keeping animal love.
Petting all my animals every day just to prevent hearts/quality from dropping is a real chore... I'd gladly give them decent pocket-money/salary :)

Spoilers for 1.5: The latest game update added an Auto-Petter item that does this!

 

[Bacchus]

Oh... I play on Switch which isn't getting this update till next year so I didn't read that far into the patch notes!
By bad :P

 

[Odin]

All good! Now you have a bit more to look forward to when you get the update!

Hiring children? Maybe they could just come visit.

Hiring children? Maybe they could just come visit.

Yeah. What would you even pay them. They are not your slaves. At least that I am aware of.

 

[LRangerR]

Pay vincent in snails.

Slaves don't get paid - I said I'd pay the town kids... but now you got me thinking maybe your own kid should be pulling his weight around the farm!
My brothers & I did growing up

You probably see the Junimos as slaves too, right? :P

 

[Bacchus]

Oh those Junimos are definitely slaves ()
The work I put in to get them.
