WWYD: Giant armoured mum spider (assumed) with eggs has taken over my egg chair

[Flupitude]

For various reasons I didn't get a chance to use my super duper expensive double egg chair last year. On Saturday DH hosed it down and pulled it out into the middle of the garden, jet washed the cushion, left it out to dry.

DS had a quick lie in it just now and came in casually mentioning that DH had missed a spider. A shiny spider.

I've gone out to check and the spider looks like something out of Aliens. It's huge. It does indeed have a super shiny exterior, the longest legs, it has spun a protective layer over itself and it has positioned itself over a giant sphere, which I can only assume to be its eggs.

DH wants to jet wash it off and while I agree on some level, on another level it just feels quite wrong. It's mumming.

But I've waited two years to sit on my egg chair. I've rustled up my book and everything. What do I do?

What would you do?

I'm currently sitting in a camping chair next to my egg chair. DH and DS laughing at me. How long until the eggs hatch? Shall I just wait for them to hatch? We can jet wash them then no?

Shucks am too late to suggest donating the chair to your mil...

😂

They cause less trouble in this world than humans do.

EDIT: Just to add, I'm terrified of them. I know it's totally irrational as they're not going to harm me. But I would never hurt them. I catch them in a cup and put them outside (or, more accurately, throw the cup down and run away).

To balance some of the horror stories, I was bitten by a false widow and nothing happened. It felt like a wasp sting, and then stopped hurting after about five minutes. There's a conversation to be had about them being an invasive species, and I do evict any I find in my house because of DS, but I wouldn't kill any, especially not a mummy spider guarding her eggs!

Any other spiders I leave them be.

@cravingicedwater No they're not. Certainly no more disgusting that cats or dogs. There's been one reported fatal spider bite in the UK in the past 20 odd years, compared to the amount of human deaths from dog attacks. Then there's the wildlife and farm animals both species kill.
