[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, please don't have kids!  We moved into a new house about 6 months ago (and bought lot of new furniture at the time).  The walls are pretty much all scratched and marked, the hardwood floors have several scratches, just about every piece of upholstered furniture we have is stained- as is the carpet in the basement, the kitchen counters are chipped, and I could go on and on.  90% of this damage is from our kids.  Our house looked new for about 2 days.  Yes, if I think about it, it kind of disappoints me that our "perfect" house isn't pefect.  But really, if this is my biggest concern, then I'm extremely lucky.

We teach our kids to be careful and respectful of our house and furniture, however, we also realize that kids are kids.  We want them to have playdates at our house and don't want anyone walking around on eggshells.  What kind of life is that?  I really think the fact that you're upset about cleaning people marking up your wall several months ago, you have an issue you need to deal with.  Is it really worth that much anguish?  Move on, it's just a wall that can be painted![/quote]

:shock:  I'm sorry I have kids too, but to tear apart a house in 6 months or after 2 days is a bit concerning. Chipped kitchen counters? All walls scratched and marked???
I also have playdates and everyone has fun, but seriously. What in the world do you all do in your house? It sounds like a zoo. 
I hope to never rent to folks like you. [/quote]
