I'm blown away with the LACK of respect others have with borrowed stuff-I'm the old fart because I won't let friends play on our stuff anymore after the same treatment all of you have recieved.Amazingly my kid's have yet to do any serious damage to our toys- I pat them on the back and thank them for this regularly for their repect to me as the builder and for the equipments longevity. - My 7 yr. old has called me over several times to let me know something doesn't sound or feel right and she's been right!!!
If I ever borrowed something the rule was from a child -return it promptly and in better shape than it was loaned out whenever possible (wash the car,more gas than it had in it,ect..).
