I was once invited to a baby shower that was actually in a private room at a bar that did not allow children. I showed up with my kid and was denied entrance; because it was me alone, we just had to go home. I was pretty mortified. But also— it was a baby shower! Why not say something?! In that case, there was no message, tactful or otherwise, about leaving kids at home. I still think that was pretty weird.
I think this is on you. If you attend a birthday party at a strip club or honkey tonk do you assume your kids are invited? It's a birthday, it should be kid friendly! But no, clearly it's at an adult venue. Bizarre that someone needs to tell you that a bar is not child friendly.
Please work on your reading comprehension. I didn’t think I was bringing my kid to a bar. I thought we were going to a private room in a restaurant, like many other parties we’ve been to, including other baby showers. Even looking at it on Google maps didn’t make clear that it was a bar that does not serve food (and so cannot legally admit anyone under 18). Also, it was a 2-4pm party. At a bar. With no food. For a baby shower?!
All of that is a weird, weird choice for a baby shower, and weirder not to say anything like “adults only”— which again, would’ve been fine with me had I known.
