But Gareth i don't suppose your daughter plays in the garage. children are supposed to make a mess. That's what they do best.
My wife and daughter have learned to live with the limitations by which my son and I are restricted, just as we have learnd to live with theirs.
Our son and daugher are now grown up and moved away, but when they were little we used to take them swimming on Saturdays. My son quickly realized that we'd be dressed and waiting for them to emerge from the hidden mysteries of the women's changing area.
We'd wait. We'd wait some more, and just when we thought we had enjolyed all our waiting we'd find that there was still more waiting to do.
On one occasion my son, then aged about 4, put his hand to his head and exclaimed "I really think I have spent about a third of my life waiting for women folk."
An elderly gentleman who was obviously involved in the same sort of wait as we were turned and said, "You had better get used to it. son. It never changes."
