I wish people would listen!!
A couple of friends came round last night for a curry. They saw Charlotte before she went to bed and I made them a cup of tea. They were sat on the floor with her and I specifically said, "please do not put your tea anywhere near her or on the floor cos she'll put her hand in it".
So guess what happens - the male half put his tea right next to her (I'm talking to his girlfriend so don't see this part), then as I turn round I see lo put her hand right into the tea....argghhhhh!!
Well you know the rest....screaming, tears etc. I put her hand straight under the cold water tap for a few minutes whilst absolutely fuming!!! He apologised and lo seemed ok - no blisters appeared and she started using her hand again straight away and stopped crying. And then it was like "oh well these things happen". Not when I F***ing warn you not to do it!! Even oh didn't seem too concerned. Still fuming now!

I've found that no matter how many times ive told them politely they still havent listened (for 18 months now) so things have come to a head and I'm having a real problem being comfy with them being in my house.
I think you really need to make them understand that you warned them and because they didnt listen you are very angry and upset. Maybe show them a picture of what couldve happened (a bit strong ...?) so they understand not to do it again.....?
