My husband is, too, although to listen to his mother talk of him being a "perfect child", it must be a recently acquired problem. I wasn’t a messy kid, either, but my son certainly is.

Still, when my parents put a new carpet in my bedroom, it was a design which absorbed and hid stains; it started out looking stained. For that matter, during my disastrous and expensively failed marriage, her two children (4 and 6, when I mistakenly married her) did not spill too much, nor did they decorate walls and floors with crayons or markers. Of course, by the time she tied a can to my tail, her son was "decorating" his room with a pellet gun. Mostly OK, after all I didn't care, except he destroyed one of my lamps; it was built with a watt-hour meter as its base. (I still have one, but I doubt if I can ever find another.)

But I'm not a fan of laminate (e.g., Pergo), and can't afford the cost of real hardwood. We'll be putting ceramic tile in our basement family room someday soon, though.
