How about saying “No kids”?

Now days people just don’t get it that kids are not welcome all the time.

"adults only " should suffice.....

when we were young marrieds with young children and all of our friends had the same, all the kids came because none of us could afford babysitters.....

its not difficult...

I was one of those dads that brought their kid(s) everywhere, but if I was invited to a party at night, or it wasn’t some other kid’s birthday, even I was bright enough to know that WE weren’t welcome, only The Wife and I were.

there are some friends of mine that take their children with them everywhere

It sounds like some of their friends can’t take a hint.

There are basically three options: let them do what they want, tell them no explicitly, and don’t invite them.

Yep.

I mean, we love ours but we would never just assume they were invited to a party unless it was indicated in the invitation.

If you address it to "The Bear Family" or you list the kids by name then we assume they are welcome. If you address it to Mr and Mrs Bear or Harmless plus one then we will be getting a sitter.

My son could pump a kegger like nobody’s business

No...he didn’t drink any. And at 43, it’s rare that he ever has a drink. He hates beer

Back in the day, my parents went to and gave party’s adults only. They needed to get away from us monsters once a week or so.

Adults Only is less negatively phrased than No Kids

People will also feel less singled out or targeted

And you know it doesnt take much to trigger people nowadays so if you can try to avoid it over small things, its better

“ Three women who hate kids. America 2023. “

I don’t like kids.
Even when I was a kid, I didn’t like kids.

Kids deserve to know about the birds and the bees, as well as the hot/crazy matrix simulation
