[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't need to know the name of the sport but it's hard to tell what the real issue is because you haven't adequately identified what the issues are.  If your ILs have otherwise been including you and your DH in activities and are a welcomed member of the family, I have no problem with them wanting to do something 'special' with the grandkids - and just them.  However, if your ILs have a practice of excluding you or condescending, you have an IL problem and I would [b]never encourage a relationship with someone who is disrespectful to me[/b].  And, in the case of the latter, you just don't have an IL problem, you have a DH problem.

I would also do as a PP suggested and ask:
 
[i] "I'm curious, Bert/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?".  [/i]

OP here, this is really it for me. It has nothing to do with the sport, although for whatever reasons they mind their manners in most scenarios,  with this particular activity they are strangled with conceit. It does not have to do with class differences, many members of their extended family struggle financially and are quite coarse.

For the record, I have asked that question. They have never been able to respond. It's just weird. [/quote]
