I've had to watch way too many great movies with toddlers and such underfoot and half in front of screens; I'll definitely opt for that over having to "act polite" at something so deserving of a good heckling^^
Can't participate in any aspect of a hobby you love for one year (participation, observation, following news, all of it)
-OR-
You can keep half your attention there by pairing the now-free half of it to completely dedicate to bagpiping. Only exception being if your current hobby you love
is bagpiping, then I simply suggest repairing connections with your family.
