I am not sure how the law in other states work but in the state I am currently in, we require a fence around pools of depth and size. My mother-in-law used to live in Arizona and had a pool so the arizona pool fence law is similar to the law here.
When I was a kid, I used to believe (or feel rather) that the “fence around a pool” law was really silly and kept neighborhood kids from having fun. However, now that I am a mom, the law makes a lot of sense!
Were there any rules you had to abide by growing up that you found to be kind of silly but understood better as you got older?
