Today, I asked my 8-year-old daughter to kill a house spider for me. I am a 42-year-old man. FML

No shame necessary. Sacrifice the children.

Spiders are terrifying. I see nothing wrong with this.

I don't blame you. Some kids are fearless, I make my nephew do it sometimes :)

Yeah, I was fearless until I was in high school and woke up to a black widow crawling on my face.

We have no poisonous spiders in the UK, stop being silly. If you have arachnaphobia then fair enough not touching it yourself, but if your kid doesn't mind going near them then why make her kill it rather than just putting it outside? We should be encouraging children to understand wildlife before they pick up on adult's fears and bad attitudes.

Just say you're supper allergic to save face

It doesn't matter hOW OLD U ARE SPIDERS ARE TERRIFYING

I was baby sitting a 3-year old once when i saw a baby spider and started screaming. She just laughed and said it was lookin for a piggy.

I must say, I am shocked. I never, ever kill spiders: they eat mosquitoes; I actually gently put them outside; oddly enough, they are the ones who act terrified of that giant force moving them around.

It's ok op, we all have our weakness.

Spiders are ******' scary, man. I don't blame you. If my 8 year old sister wasn't terrified of them as well, she'd be killing them for me, too.
