Wow these are all horrible and make me anxious! I would say the worst things I've had go wrong are:
- My dd rubbed a metal fork into our new dining table (during daycare) and made huge, very noticeable, scratches.
- All of the upholstery on our new (at the time) dining room chairs have been ripped to shreds.
- A lot of dings on the walls we have had to patch up.
- Our last house (a rental) had wood flooring that was in terrible condition when we moved in. It was made worse with daycare (lots of scratches, actual chipped pieces from putting "roads" down with masking tape, etc). The landlord acknowledged it was bad beforehand so we luckily did not get charged for any damages.
All of the above was not necessarily on purpose (except for what my dd did). I've had a ton of toys that were broken due to misuse by the daycare kids. Ugh...this thread makes me feel like it's only a matter of time!
Did any of you require the families to pay for the damages?
