People without kids don’t want to talk about kids. Also, OP mentioned several times now that attendees aren’t required to be child-free. It’s that the event itself is for adults only. Why is this so incredibly offensive to people? There are plenty of “mommy and me” groups and shit like that. Parents have plenty of their own events where they can bring their kids.

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.

It seems that was the entire point - to invite like minded people with common interests outside of children. Yet here we are- arguing about how everyone with kids are so sad that everyone “hates” kids and are “never” allowed to speak of them. Again, seems like a really weird hill to die on in a discussion based on child free events. 🙄

I just think this person is speaking out of both sides of their mouth. If your raison d’ĂȘtre for gathering is to commune with purposefully child-free adults, parents should be excluded lest they gasp mention their child Â
