[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's polo. I am sure it's polo. Or maybe foxhunting. But it's got to be some sort of equestrian sport, because it's something you can't do on your own, and you can sail a small boat on your own.[b] (Also, I don't know anyone who works a second job to afford sailing.)

OP, your ILs are horrible and they are not going to change. If your husband likes riding but not whatever the sport is, sure, do it as a family. Send your kids to play polo occasionally, because letting them get to know their grandparents is a generous act. But limit it according to their interest, your budget, and preserving family time. Do not limit based on your ILs insufferability. [/quote]

Ha!!! So wrong. Replace the term "second job" with "seeks additional disposable income" and you can readily include a large percentage of people who perform any of these sports. People fund their passions, and these sports are generally quite expensive. Plenty of old money is running out and along with it, "particular" ways of doing things. OP is probably getting caught in the cross hairs of her inlaws bc their social scene is crumbling and they want to passites on these traditions even though neither the children nor op is interested. Sounds like no fun. Op, just ignore them.[/quote]
