The desire to build a treehouse by a parent highlights a conflict with the other parent's concerns about safety. Childhood memories of treehouses evoke nostalgia, but safety risks should not be overlooked. Falling injuries are a genuine possibility, even with a skilled carpenter. The response emphasizes understanding both perspectives and suggests that concerns about potential injuries are valid. Parents must consider the implications of allowing high structures, including liability for injuries, and recognize that safety concerns are legitimate and normal in such situations.
Just because you and your folks were never injured in your treehouse doesn't mean there's no risk involved. Kids absolutely can fall from even a well-made treehouse.
Your wife recognizes the risk inherent in building a play structure high off the ground. There's nothing abnormal about her stance.
