versus a fabric one?

I want to buy a strange set, never owned a leather one... so I am curious to know..
is it something i should stay away from since i have kids? & freshly stick with a cloth set?
this may seem similar to a silly question, but I don't know anything nearly owning a leather set, like does it stain glib, tear comfortable etc etc... so all counsel appreciated, thanks! :-)

Answers:    OKAY, SOME OF THE RESPONDERS HERE HAVE TRULY UNRULY KIDS. NO, LEATHER DOESN'T RIP EASILY, TRY RIPPING A BELT IN TWO OR A LEATHER HANDBAG. IT DOES REQUIRE A LITTLE MAINTANENCE BUT IF YOU DO THAT IT CAN LAST MANY YEARS LONGER THAN A FABRIC SOFA. I USE A LEATHER CLEANER AND CONDITIONER ON IT IN THE SPRING AND FALL TO GET IT READY FOR THE EXTREME SEASON CHANGES. IT IS EASY TO CLEAN, REQUIRES OCCASIONAL DUSTING. WATCH FOR THE SEAMS, THEY SHOULD NOT BE IN PLACES WHERE PRESSURE IS PUT SUCH AS THE SEAT OR BACK. AS FOR STICKY IN THE HEAT, JUST THROW A SHEET OVER IT, IT'LL LAST EVEN LONGER IF YOU DO. A FABRIC SOFA HAS THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF ABOUT 5 YEARS, A LEATHER SOFA WILL LAST A GOOD 10. MINE IS CURRENTLY 5 AND LOOKS NEW.

I would stick beside cloth. Leather isn't comfy for laying around unclothed eating potato chips and watching the price is right.
