[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. These responses are kinda interesting, and thanks for sharing. They seem to be in three camps : 1) you need to expect wear-and-tear because people have different standards, and some live rough; 2) you need to instruct your guests how to meet your standards or hover over them for the quick save. 3) you shouldn’t host.

To me, it’s astonishing that so many would-be visitors struggle with the basics.

Then again, [b]I attended an elite private college[/b] and was a RA. I recall that some students thought it was their “right” to tear up the dorm because their parents paid rent. They didn’t seem to understand or want to understand that rent was for reasonable use of the space, not abuse.

I guess [b]I’m cut from different cloth.[/b] [/quote]

This speaks volumes to your character.  Do not host.  No one will live up to your standards.[/quote]

Yeah. OP and snobby jerk (correctly self-identified) “tract home” and “Ashley furniture” PP belong together. Clearly money can’t buy class.[/quote]

I am laughing at that that snobby jerk's comment since I just bought a recliner from Ashley. It's great because my kids, dog, or I can relax on it, and I don't worry about it since I didn't pay a fortune.[/quote]

Bingo.  My costco sectional in the tv room was one of the best purchases when my kids were babies.   No need to freak out about the occasional yogurt smear or exuberant kid jumping around.   Life is too short!

We have a "fancy couch" the kids know they need to be on the A game around.   kids need a place they can learn -- it's not reasonable to expect total perfection. [/quote]

Right? Why try to take care of furniture when you can act like slobs and chuck it in the landfill after a few years. It will only take about 1000 years to decompose. [/quote]
