Oh my fucking God a monster crawled across the baby as I was reading a book (called Unfollow Me, not ironic and recommended it's really good) and the light of the phone mean I saw this horrible hairy cunt crawl over my baby.

Squashed it dead and fuck where is the justice in life.
Drama all round.

Pray for us.

its Probably best not to think about what’s running about near you when you are sleeping

cakesandphotos · 08/08/2019 22:25

No. Just no. I don't even think I would have the guts to kill it, I would have picked up the baby and left the house. And then burnt it down. I once left the house for an entire day (pre children) because a I saw a spider on my shower curtain mid hair wash. I've never screamed so loud in my life

MidnightAtTheOasis · 08/08/2019 22:27

I grant you that’s a big scary bugger, but even so, it was just going about its evening harmlessly bless it.

Wincarnis · 08/08/2019 22:28

No need to kill it. Yabvvvvvu

Awaywiththefairies27 · 08/08/2019 22:28

Be mindful, that spider probably isn't alone. We got massive cardinals like that in Suffolk all the time and they usually attract more in looking for a mate. Sad

gungera · 08/08/2019 22:30

You're a knob for killing it, and I hate spiders!

cookieoclock · 08/08/2019 22:30

Urgh! They make me heave Envy
It’s nearly as big as your babies foot!

3luckystars · 08/08/2019 22:30

I'm afraid to go to sleep.

That is terrifying.

ItsABubbleParty · 08/08/2019 22:31

Well that's it claimed the baby for its own.

SpiderBaby can now handily live in the cobwebs and you'll have an excuse not to dust.

UterusUterusGhali · 08/08/2019 22:31

It would probably eat whatever's biting you.

I understand the horror tho. Snuggled up in bed on a camping trip once in the glow of a lantern and a ground beetle ran across my youngest's face. He had the hood of his sleeping bag up and was smiling and didn't even notice this thing scamper from underneath his chin into his hair. Christ I'll never forget it. And I love creepy crawlies.

I found a flea on PFB once and that made me cry Blush Grin

When my DD was about 5 she woke up and said Mummy theres a spider in my bed and I killed it. Went into her room and it was about the size of that, my little hero literally smacked it with her hand and killed the little fucker! Hate them so much. That thing is huge, and really juicy... blah! Atleast you'll have fresh bed sheets on, I'd burn that one personally.. (joking)

Im being unreasonable to kill it???

I never kill anything that can move (apart from bits and worms) but this hairy fuck was crawling over my baby.

Not only did I kill it, i squashed it twice because it was a double hard bastard with armour!

And I don't believe any fucking one of you that says they would let it happen or capture it humanly in that situatio.

They do bite! I'd have killed it too and screamed until I went hoarse.

Kerrywerrywoo1 · 08/08/2019 22:33

What fucking country are you in because if that mad bastard is in the U.K. I’m moving now!!!

Global warming = giant cunty spiders 😵😵😵😵

Poor spider, it was only looking for new girlfriend (it's that time of year) & probably thought that climbing over the baby was quicker than going the long way round & softer on his feet.
Though I can understand you shrieking as seeing a spider on your baby would be a bit 😱 as a first reaction.
You need a pet Daddy long legs/cellar spider (look very delicate & spindly) as they are vicious to other spiders & eat them, even ones twice/three times the size of them.
Apparently they also are very good parents to their offspring.
(And they look cute)

Flossyfloof · 08/08/2019 22:35

No need to kill it.

ralphfromlordoftheflies · 08/08/2019 22:36

I know that I would have run off and left my DS to the mercy of the spider. I would save him from a bad guy, but motherly instinct would go out of the window for a spider and I would have saved myself.

Monstrous!

OhMyDarling · 08/08/2019 22:37

My fbook feed is full of similar spider shenanigans today... they’re upto something these arachnids.

JaimeBronde · 08/08/2019 22:38

The baby has been darked on.

StrippingTheVelvet · 08/08/2019 22:39

Omg did you kill it with your bare fingers?! Shock

Oakmaiden · 08/08/2019 22:40

Now you have to Bath the baby and completely change their clothes

and burn the clothes the baby was wearing. and the sofa you were sitting on.

Don't feel bad for killing it. It was him or you.

Omgyouatetheprincess · 08/08/2019 22:40

Aragog is that you 😭 holy sh*t. That is horrific, well done for not fleeing the room and abandoning your baby. I will have a drink, or two for you (not for myself after the shock of seeing the photos)
