The majority of the women in my alumnae club have children. We have a rule that no children attend meetings unless 1) They are an infant and being nursed or 2) It's a family/kids event and all are invited. I guess at one point, some women were bringing their kids and they would all hang out with the other kids, but the women in the chapter realized that they needed some time to NOT be Mom and the alumnae club was that time. Truth be told, we all need some "girl" time .. no husbands, no kids, just our sisters.
Sometimes there are opportunities for our children who are older to babysit for one of the sisters' kids who are younger and that works out nicely.
