[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My first thought is [b]polo or fox hunting [/b](you need to belong to a club to do these things-- or be invited by somebody who belongs to the club), but it is somewhat incredulous to think that OP did not realize this was an "elite" activity until she met her inlaws. Though she also said in a post that they are not classest only snobby about this particular activity.

I guess it could be anything. [b]Sailing is a strong possibility[/b], but it just doesn't seem to be that dangerous. Skiing also comes to mind, but, I don't really see how she could get left behind skiing.

After reading through the thread, I am not convinced I'd want to hang out with OP either. Maybe her in-laws aren't as bad as described.[/quote]

Having done all of the above, they are dangerous. Fox hunting is dangerous because the horses get excited and the terrain is uneven. Polo you get hit by the ball or the other horses. Sailing is fine until there is a squall. Sailing can be VERY dangerous. OP, if the in laws want to take the kids one time for a little outing on a calm day, I would say OK to keep the peace. But as a sport that they did constantly under the grand parents supervision with the attitude they have, No. My MIL had an attitude like that and of course it led t a trip to the hospital for the grand child.
