I never mentioned a word about the wedding @Maggie427 - I clearly referred to the hen party being a beano.

No mention of a wedding there, and considering it comes across as if the hen party hasn't happened yet, and your daughter and 12 friends had booked accommodation together for next weekend in Brighton - hen party capital of the UK - you have to admit, your post definitely gives the impression that the planned trip was indeed for a hen party beano, rather than her own wedding.
Sorry to hear of your daughter's illness, but again, do you think there aren't thousands of hosts in this position battling serious illnesses too? I was talking to a host just yesterday, who's fighting stage 4 cancer, 3 small kids, husband passed away of a sudden heart attack last year at the age of 44. Moved back in with her elderly parents - so six of them in a tiny 2 bed house - and rented out her and her kids' own home on Airbnb, so she'd at least have some income while she was going through her treatment.
Now that income has suddenly been whipped out from under her, with no chance of replacing it for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, long-term rental of the home is probably not going to be an option for quite some time either, for obvious reasons. Shall I pass on your sage advice that she should go and get a real job in the real world too?
Finally, I'm absolutely delighted that my remarks (which I believe were very much called for) have put you off ever using Airbnb in the future. Going by your attitude, my fellow hosts have clearly dodged a bullet.
