Ntj, "could you do this one thing for me?" at work can be a slippery slope. It sounds like this is routinely happening enough that she could set an alarm to go off daily at the end of break, and that alarm would be you instead of on her phone, if you let her pin the blame on you instead of herself for sleeping at work. Which, btw, I can't think of a single job I've had that would consider that ok, even on break.
Ntj, but I don't envy you the situation of being between a mother who expects to be accomodated in both claiming ignorance to her lateness and everyone else working around it while saying nothing to her, and a wife who threatens bad things happening if MIL is allowed to swan in the way she always does.
Ntj, farming and the kind of work you do are entirely different occupations with different methods of payment. You don't get paid per job on a farm, and your family doesn't live at the shop. 15 is a reasonable age to start making money, and this sounds like a nice arrangement to help him get a sense of what a job is like. Sounds to me like your wife might be having issues with the son's impending adulthood and wants to keep him in the nest. I had to fight to break free of a smother like that, because my parents preferred to keep me under their thumb than prepare me to be independent. Please support your son and talk to your wife about her issues with this.
AITJ For Not Supporting My Friend's Lies?

Ntj, regardless how your "friend" justifies it to himself, this is predatory behavior, and no one in their right mind would want to continue interacting after such a lie. I'd be aware if I were you as well, that someone so willing to pretend to be someone they aren't to try and get a date is most likely not limiting their dishonesty to the curious scene. I'd be very wary of this person and what they say in general, knowing this about him.
