Spouse or relatives on REI team
I was wondering if anyone has their spouse and/or other relatives working with them on their REI team. If so, in what capacity or role and how is it working out? Are there any pros/cons?

hmmmm..........I guess it depends on the spouse. Mine was helpful/cooperative at times but combative at others.... didn't like me being the head of the operation. You have to admit - every team must have a leader right? The unnecessary competitiveness was one aspect that led to the failure of the marriage.
