Not being born a son.

All good suggestions, just would like to be on a level with my brothers.

I suppose I am, long as I keep the home fires burning!

Okay, so this all sounds so pathetic......... how does a person get over something that to the outside world is negliable but is not to the person involved?

Have you ever spoken to your dad and brothers about how you feel?

Sometimes it is really nice to be invited and know you would be welcome at things even if everyone knows you won't accept.

This is it, to be recognised is important, I think its all I need.

They probably don't realise and it is likely they've probably not even given it a thought and assume that you know you are just as valued. Speak to your dad and tell him.

If it makes you feel better, my father takes my older sisters to the football.

I never showed an interest in it, even after going a few times. They enjoy it more than me.

Of course it's possible they don't invite Daisy because they are having a bit of a 'fun time with the lads'.

But I'd definitely say "oh great, can I come too?" next time a trip is suggested which you'd like to go on.

All I can say is I'm really glad that my sons' interest in football didn't last too long, and the only one who kept up a team sport was into cricket, which I was very happy to watch. Freezing your bits off through the winter, or enjoying the sunshine (or at least lack of rain) through the summer - why would anyone choose the former? :rotfl:

You're obviously feeling left out while the rest of the family are not just enjoying the rugby but a weekend away.

I'd like to know whether you've talked to your dad about it and /or asked if you can go along.

As a long suffering, female season ticket holder at a Premier league ground I don't think not being a boy is an issue.

Would your mother go?
Why not make a suggestion that next year, you and your mother tag along to Rome ? They can go and see the rugby, you two can do something else.
Same as when it's in Paris or Dublin or Edinburgh. All fabulous places. More to do than watch the match.

You can all meet up afterwards.

I'm not sure why you feel like you do, there's so many ways you can change the situation, but that means you having to put the ideas out there.
