If your kid wants a treehouse, you build them a treehouse. If your kid wants a swing, you build them a swing. That's what a good parent does. I think this parent may have made some bad choices in an effort to provide for their child. That's certainly a nice treehouse and swing, but how did they turn a fun activity into the most terrifying experience in the world?
This swing would make me an extremely worried parent. Everytime my kid would say they are going out to play on the swing I'd kiss them goodbye as if that was the last time I was ever going to see them. Plus, what fun is a swing that you can't jump off of? I mean, yes, you can jump off of this swing but that would men certain death, so where's the fun in that?
