Having To Babyproof My Own House For Someone Else’s Kid

I just hosted my first DnD game night at my house and all was well give or take a few hiccups being it also my first time as DM, except one of the players brought their two year old kid who just ran around my house, knocking things over, scaring my dogs, pulling his hand out of his mouth to touch everything he could, and getting insanely close to my active wood burning stove. To top it off, at the end of the session the parent says next time I should have a fireplace screen and childproof gates set up throughout my house to keep him away from the fire and out of rooms I don’t want him in, plus I should keep things out of his reach.

What? It’s my house, which they and their kid will only be visiting once a month or two, why is the burden of the child’s safety on me? Shit, my dogs are only puppies and they have better sense not to touch, let alone get too close to, extremely hot surfaces plus I already have a gate for the stairway that the kid knocks over anyway and then, without me knowing, the parent just grabbed the nearest thing, which was my board game tabletop for playing on my living room ottoman I made by hand, big fucker (almost 4’ by 4’ solid wood), and just leaned it half hazardly across the gate. The kid gleefully knocked it over, almost onto my dog if he weren’t paying attention, and almost put a gouge in the nearest wall.
