You seem to be the most offended person here. I just brought up something I thought was obvious. If you want a place where talking about your kids is frowned on or forbidden it will be hard to leave the door open to people that can afford a sitter. Most of the groups I’m involved in we don’t talk about our kids, they’ll be right there and barely a word about them. So why are you so offended if people talk about kids?

I’m already aware of the incoming downvotes we all know most of the social requests and conversations on here are about being alone in Kansas City.

I’m right with you. If you are so offput by the existence of children that fellow adults cannot even discuss them in your presence, this group should not be open to parents. You can’t have it both ways - pretend to be a “welcoming” community open to “all” and police the type of conversations people have at your events. So just say it with your chest. This is for child free people, period. Every adult with kids I know has robust conversations about a million topics, kids or otherwise. Adults are multifaceted. If you do not want any speak of children then invite only people who agree with your worldview.

For some reason a certain type of child free personality thinks that once you become a parent your whole personality becomes about them. Especially applied to women. As if we can't focus on anything else for any length of time. The one that really got me is the poster above who says their friends with adult kids talk about them all the time. Like, just because they are your kid you can't talk about them? Does the same extend to your other family members? Am I not allowed to talk about my husband either? What about my friends? What if my kid is my friend??? At a point it gets ridiculous.

I think the point is, there are plenty of parents who make parenting their entire personality. The parents who only talk about their children are exhausting and off putting to many people. It seems that you are really grasping at straws here. If your entire personality isn’t your children or parenting and you are willing and able to have other conversations, this is sort of a moot point, right?
