NOOOO SOMETHING TERRIBLE JUST HAPPENED! **spider picture and baby****

[OoohOnly90CaloriesIllhave10]

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.

Do all you people really want a million spider eggs and babies in your home?

Only if they do the housework!

These people who cry about the audacity of us "spider murderers",Lolololol!!!
Literally,you all make me laugh.If a spider is in my house,yup,I'm killing it.🕷🥾✌

Come to Australia...

😈😈😈

@Oakmaiden

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

and burn the clothes the baby was wearing

As I read this my eye transposed bath and burn so I read it as "now you have to burn the baby"... and thought well that's a bit extreme even though there is a case for destroying everything that enormous devil spider touched.

I can't actually believe people are criticising killing it - it crawled over her baby ffs! They're horrible!

Looks like it was probably Tegenaria domestica, which is harmless, or possibly one of the similar species; technically it can bite a human but it pretty much never does, and if it does it won't do you any damage. I've handled them loads and never been bitten. They just want to run away and hide. And dispose of your household pests.

I can't see its pedipalps but I'd guess from the fact that it was wandering around that it was a male, though it's not male-wandering-around season so I'm not sure. But while the males are shorter-lived, the females can live for several years, not just one as a PP said.

I wouldn't have killed the spider, but can well understand why you did,in your panicked state. I would have had nightmares after though,thinking that the spider might have been near to your baby's ears,or nose !

When dd was 4.5 months old, I stepped over a spider to take something to the kitchen, when I came back a few seconds later DD had rolled across the room and was making a horrible coughing/choking noise and there were a few spider legs hanging out of her mouth. I retrieved 5 legs in total and nothing else. I rang my gp surgery to check if there was anything I should be doing. I spoke to a doctor who after ascertaing it was just a house spider (body the same size as my ringfinger fingernail and the legs were thick, hairy and almost an inch long not JUST anything) he told me it wouldn't hurt her and to just consider it as a source of protein!
Dd is now late 20's but it took a number of years before I didn't kill a spider on sight in case she tried to eat it. I now remove them but if a big bugger crawled on my dgs I would kill it dead.

I tend to put them outside but there have been the occasional time a big bastard has snuck up and I’ve shay myself and killed it

I’m head spider catcher in this house, all the ds’s are scared of them, no idea why. Even the 24 year old can’t touch them

The 16 year old once messaged to say a big one was blocking his bedroom door and could I come get it. I text back , mums dead , your next love the spiders. Amused me anyway 🤷‍♀️

Aww it's only small. If it's not venomous (I can't tell what it is as it's all squished) you could have just picked it up and put it outside.

It’s a spider. An invertebrate. It feels nothing. Kill the fuckers.

everyflightbeginswithafall 😂😂👍

And @WorraLiberty I have horrific arachnophobia and am fully supportive of burning your house down if you lose a big un

Off you fuck dearie with your gormless drama...

Or, in a kinder universe you could have popped baby in their cot, gently bundled up duvet and shaken the (more than likely HARMLESS) spider out in the garden.

I know I will be in the minority but there was NO need to kill that spider.

This is is what is wrong with the world. How the fuck do you know what it feels?

It crawls in your mouth when you sleep too

If you put a house spider outside it dies anyway. A long painful death... you may as well just bash it with a handy encyclopaedia Brittanica

Christ that made me feel ill 😱

When DS1 was about 2 we did a lovely Easter egg hunt in the garden. Wasn't until I watched a video back that I saw a MASSIVE spider crawl up his back, over his shoulder and down his front. Do not know how I missed it at the time it was a big hideous fucker 😭

@Clusterphuck Seconded

Looks like it was a male giant house spider, they're actually very gentle and timid around humans. The males wander around looking for females/insects at night, it meant your baby no harm. One ran over my leg while I was watching tv the other night, it made me jump which startled it back into the sofa (it probably lives in there!)

Don't put a house spider outside, it will either perish or come straight back in. You most likely have at least 20 large spiders living in your home, unseen as they stay behind wardrobes/under beds, keeping the flies/earwigs/woodlice/centipedes etc at bay. The males get a bit ditzy this time of years as they start roaming in search of mates.

Poor spider

I'd have killed it too! Auto mode maternal instinct.

🤣 @Clusterphuck too right!!!
