General Advice

Quote From: anne745ny

i feel the same way, except i might have a bigger problem. the same happens to toys as well, but i have been through 4 sets of living room furniture in 8 years, 4 sets of carpeting to the entire house, cars, and you name it. I have had a new car on mothers day every year for the past 4 years. I am  

not kidding you. I have 4 boys, 1 girl( who is just like them but prettier) my husband who thinks that tkids are kids and a golden retriever that fits right in. I would like to buy something and have it last longer than 5 minutes. this is no fun. HELP FROM ANYONE? 

I gave up on replacing the furniture and stuff.  we have one couch and we sit on patio furniture.  I refuse to keep wasting money.  Luckily I still have the same car.  Couldn't afford a new car every year even if it got destroyed.  Great Mother's Day gift ideat hough.  I do have a daughter also, but thank God she isn't like the boys, she just loses everything.  It has not even been a week since Christmas and my 10 year old has already destroyed his headphones and thing hands and a radio.  Grrrrr.

We only have two kids but they are both animal lovers and my house is a bit like Noah's ark :) I bought leather furniture for my sitting rooms.  Buy cheap leather couches and wash them every month. Inexpensive leather furniture actually is the best in this situation because they have more glaze on the leather-those butter soft leather pieces are too fragile.   

  

The animals can scratch the surface a bit, but that has been the only damage in 10 years. Nail polish came off with nail polish remover, crayons and paint just wash off. It doesn't collect fur.
