Get a house with a decent-sized yard. Make your own playground. Get your kid and the neighbors' kids involved in helping build it. A seesaw is a one-by-eight, a triangular block, and a pair of hinges. A swing is a tire and a rope or a plank and two ropes.

- dfranke 18y agoThis is the most depressing comment I've ever read on this site. Where do I even begin? 1. Anybody can sue anybody over damn near anything. This has always been so. It is not a recent development. 2. Getting sued does not mean the apocalypse. Judges have three-figure IQs. They know a frivilous lawsuit when they see one and will award attorney's fees to the defendant. 3. The risk of serious injury is minimal. Little Johnny's parents aren't going to sue because he scraped his knee. The worst injury with any probability high enough to be worth expending any gray matter on considering it is a broken bone. Bones heal.
