[quote=Anonymous] I come from a family with these weird dynamics, although not related to sports. Previously I didn't understand why we were left out, but now I suspect that due to financial differences in lifestyle, other family members imagine *we* wouldn't feel comfortable, or that we're not interested. So the easiest way to deal with it is by not inviting us and pretending it's not rude. They're not bad people, just don't know how to gracefully bridge a perceived difference in affluence, outlook and lifestyle. The only way to move this block is to address it head-on. "I'm curious, Bertha, why you never invited me all this years, yet now you want to invite the children? You know I grew up around polo, don't you?". [/quote]
