Dear Janice,

I invited some playgroup mums and their kids to my house, but I very quickly regretted it.

I know they are only four-year-olds, but my home was wrecked by the time they left.

Despite repeatedly asking them to stick to the play den, they ran amok. I caught two of them in my bedroom going through my drawers, and another had crayoned my walls!

Toy boxes were emptied, sweetie papers were dropped, and taps were left running.

They even dragged my son’s bedding off his bed to make a camp, and no amount of bribery or telling them off made any difference.

What upset me most was that the mums sat sipping prosecco seemingly oblivious to the chaos their children........
