— -- Zoe Saldana has a message for any mom wanting to plan a play date with her three boys.

"Don't invite us!" she told People magazine with a laugh.

The "Guardians of the Galaxy" star said having three boys -- 2-year-old twins Cy and Bowie, along with Zen, whom she welcomed in February -- has changed her opinion about the experience.

"Our kids are free. We’re rambunctious. We’re a loud family, and we don’t stop from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. And literally, we just don’t have any play dates," Saldana explained.

She added, "You can always come to our house, our doors are open. But we don’t ever want them to be exposed to negligence, or to someone getting angry with them for just being boys."

Saldana, 38, who has been married to Italian artist Marco Perego since 2013, also said that being the only woman in a house full of men has also changed how she views them.

The actress said now she realizes the "pressure" put on boys and men. "Through our nurture, we tamper so much," Saldana explained.

"So I’ve been leaning in on the books, and talking to parents of boys, getting any advice from fathers and mothers that we can grab," she continued. "My husband and I are sponges because we are determined to raise happy, stress-free men."

The actress also spoke about her new family dynamic during an appearance on "Good Morning America" earlier this month.

"I come from a family of women so being sort of outnumbered is new, strange," she said then, "and I'm adjusting to it but I'm accepting this ironic challenge that the universe has sent me."
