Okay, maybe I'm the one out to lunch and I haven't been to Europe in almost 20 years. When I was there kids were not on my mind at all.
My group of friends is very inclusive of kids, though. We all have them (ranging in age from 1 year to nine years) and they are at all of our parties, New Year's, my Kegger, etc. It wouldn't occur to me to have an event where kids weren't allowed and I think all my friends are in the same boat.
I guess this is one of those things where we'll all have a different frame of reference, but the way you describe Europe is exactly how my life is.
