[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your in-laws have far bigger issues than whether your kids join them in their "hobby." I get now from your details that they are mostly poseurs who might actually put your kids in physical danger because this isn't a real hobby sport for in-laws and they don't have the true skills. The quotation marks make sense now. Let them make fools of themselves without your kids in tow.[/quote]

They have the true skills, but they are very sugar coated with the past. Trying to pass down something from their history while excluding me, bc maybe my posting (or whatever, isnt literally ANY technique) isn't "circa 1900 Vanderbilt style"

We don't live in Middleburg, nor will we ever, and we are really not in a position to pour the time into it needed for our children to be part of that, nor do we want to. short of living on a farm, I don't see that it would be an enjoyable activity for our kids.

I guess I put it in quotes because it is closer to an obsession for them, and has a ton of baggage attached to it. As someone wrote way back, it is tied to their identity, especially social identity.[/quote]
