Carpet vs wood flooring in lounge?

Hi all. At present we have carpet in the living room but with a 4 year old and a new baby it’s always getting spillages and worse. It also hasn’t worn well with heavy toys leaving dents etc. I’m thinking of having oak flooring, but mil says I will regret it because it’s so cold. We live in a 50s house which is colder than our previous new build, but I thought I could get around it by having a big rug covering the middle of the floor. If you’ve gone from carpet to wood flooring do you regret it? Money’s tight so I don’t want to make the wrong decision!

We wanted wood but were persuaded to go for LVT and we absolutely love it. It stands up to everything - two years in the busiest room of the house with two young children and it doesn't have a single scratch on it. It looks as good as new. It feels warm and there's a softness to it which means if you drop a glass it doesn't break. Worth looking into.
