To wonder if anyone with small children has carpets downstairs?

Ours is permanently stained with food, despite this DH won’t give way to wooden flooring. He likes carpets. I think he’s mad. Does anyone with little children have carpets in communal areas?

I think it depends what your kids are like, tbh. If they toilet train with difficulty, vomit a lot and don't care much about rules around felt tips and food, you could be in for a lot of cleaning. I think hard floors are better.
