[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sense a certain naivete, OP.

First, that decor is certainly quite intimidating for the average American family. Your guests are probably worried that if their kid cracks a glass top or spills on the white rug/couch, you'll be mad and perhaps ask them to pay for it. I suspect you've never actually had to clean certain kid messes off that kind of surface, otherwise you'd NEVER write that you're fine with it! :-)

Are you aware of what rambunctious boys can do to a house? One of my 5 year old guests nearly cracked and toppled the upper balusters down into the stairwell, and himself along with them. A 10 year old swung a bat at my crystal chandelier, narrowly missing it; his mother had a conniption.

This is OP. I am aware of how much of a pain glass is to clean. But we have this furniture and I’m not about to buy all new furniture at this point. The glass furniture is all thicker tempered glass and I’ve never had any cracks or anything despite having a toddler slam his metal or glass cups down.

For your other examples, yeah I guess my house couldn’t handle a ten year old swinging a baseball bat in the house, but I don’t think any kid should be left swinging a wooden bat around the house, they’d be sent outside to play. [/quote]
