I live in a rented house with a lot of the landlords’ items here such as built in storage, furniture, appliances etc. They are all of a high standard and lovely.
I want to host a mothers meeting like afternoon tea etc.
One or two of my friends have quite high energy children and my home isn’t really child proof or particularly child friendly in terms of the floor being slippery tiles/wood, no safety measures in place such as plug socket covers and generally has my things in places that perhaps would need stored elsewhere if I had children of that nature.
The kids are fun and I think they’re great but last time I had them over, they found some biros and scribbled over a solid oak bookcase.
If this was your home, and friends or indeed your children doing things like that... what would you do about this?
There’s no option to not invite them really as that would cut the group so just looking for ideas maybe I could have stuff for the kids to do rather than being bored causing mayhem 😂 I’m just worried about the huge deposit I’ve put down and may not get back if things are damaged.
