To cut a long story short, my DD (3yo) went to a play date today with a friend from nursery at their house. They were playing upstairs and it all went quiet, so friend's mum went to check. It seems that the girls had found a paint set (supposed to be a present for friend's DD's cousin), opened it and got themselves covered in paint. It was all over both girls and on the carpet. After washing them both, the bathroom was also covered in paint - mostly black paint.
I told my DD off, they both got changed and went off to play some more. Having got home, the paint is proving hard to get out of clothes and I guess will also be difficult to get out of the carpet! It's made worse that the black paint was in the middle of the bedroom carpet and the friend is trying to sell the house at the moment. I did apologise for DD's behviour and said that she should let me know if the paint doesn't come out of the carpet so I can contribute to professional cleaning or replacement.
Is this reasonable? Should I offer anything else?
Thanks!
