Reply #33: Burden is always on the parent to provide the safest environment possible [View All]

Let me give you an example. When my wife, two children and I moved back here to Illinois from Indianapolis in the 1980's we had a choice of two homes in this subdivision we all liked. One home we all liked better but was butted right up to the small lake here and there was no back yard. Just lake. My wife and I were both worried about one of the kids getting drowned so we took the one on the other side of the road from the lake to be on the safe side.

Well we could have got the other one for 5 grand less than this one at that time and the one on the lake is now worth 30 grand more than this one. And we still like that one better than the one we are currently living in. And the kids are now all grown up. Damn! But I suppose we still made the right decision for that time.

And I am very sorry to hear about your mother. Take care and see you later.
