My party/BBQ/gathering now has parental approval. It's taken me weeks of slowly getting them used to the idea but now they're OK with it. Well, aside from me getting told the following:

1) Don't let anyone smoke in the house. That wallpaper will hold the smoke and it costs far too much to replace
2) Be careful of the ornaments - they're expensive and impossible to get in this country
3) Be careful of the wallpaper - it's far too expensive to replace (which it is)
4) Make sure you have a bucket of water by the BBQ - just in case ('cause apparently I'm about 12)
5) Make sure everyone's inside by 10:30pm 'cause otherwise we'll disturb the neighbours (and they really won't like that) - please note that this is everyone being inside the house, not gone.

I'm sure this list is going to grow over the next couple of weeks! My responses so far have been:

1) I don't have the 2 grand it'll cost to replace [cost of material and labour to replace it 'cause I sure as hell can't do it and neither can anyone else I know unless they've been a professional painter and decorator for 30 years]
2) I know, and they'll be moved out of the way
3) See 1
4) Well, yeah. Sheesh, I'm not 12 you know.
5) Of course.
