I have arachnophobia with all spiders. Nearly passed out from hyperventilating over one that was teeny tiny. Also almost wrecked over another teeny tiny one. I’m talking USA just born size spiders. Less than a kernel of rice sized.

One day, I was in my room, and something kept tickling under my shirt. Finally stood up & shook my shirt & a spider, likely a wolf spider, falls out. About the size of a quarter to 50 cent piece. I freaked out. Started vacuuming my entire room, ended up vacuuming my own hair up the vacuum, I was in such hysterics over that spider being in my room. It was a nightmare, but husband & kids thought it was hilarious with my head stuck to vacuum, hair up the bottom. Grr.

Also scared of snakes & pretty much any creepy crawly. Have two sons though, so have had to have a tarantula, snake, etc. as pets. :-/ grrr. Refuse to feed them or deal with them, but also broke my heart when my son was sold an unhealthy neonate and I could not save the snake’s life, even though I tried. So guess I’m a bit of a hypocrite. Really don’t want to kill or see anything die, just don’t want them near me.

This is what I meant with username. Sadly, I learned about the negative boymoms who condone everything their kids do. With the boys will be boys. And other disgusting shit. I wish I had known about those boymoms, had more creativity, and/or could change my username. But I literally just thought it meant I was a mom with boys and because of that, I constantly had loud, dirt, mud, bugs, & other creepy crawlies, I would prefer not dealing with and most can’t imagine me dealing with. But have to deal with, because of my sons.
