A lot of the people who hold a neighborhood together are parents. If that's you, kids don't rule you out of hosting. They change the format.
Pick something that still works if a kid wanders in. A walk with strollers. A park meetup where kids play nearby. A morning coffee after drop-off. A craft or game night where kids are welcome. Short and regular beats long and rare.
Yes, say it plainly in the Circle or Event description: "Kids welcome" or "Adults only this time." People decide faster when they know.
Recruit a co-host from the first night. When one of you is on bedtime duty, the other runs it. Your Circle roles let you share the load without anyone carrying all of it.
It happens. Cancel the Event so people get the update, and keep the standing time. One missed week is nothing. See Why groups fizzle for what actually kills a group.
