Message: <blockquote data-quote="ArvadaLanee" data-source="post: 283831" data-attributes="member: 8255">Thanks, guys, for your answers! I am glad to know that I can help my son follow his dream. I am not against him owning a tarantula, but I just want him to get a little older. It's those stinging hairs that worry me, not so much the bite. I was swarmed by yellow jackets as a kid, and stung by scorpions, and even a jellyfish, and I just have this thing about being stung now. Lol. I'm such a scaredy cat. It helps just to be able to tell him that other people started out the same way he did, I think. I had a silly dream as a kid, to work with big cats, but I had no idea how to get into such a career, and my family all thought I was crazy, so I just dropped it. It's important to me to be supportive, and let my kids know they can do whatever they want in this world. Even if that means spending more money than I'd like to on "bug paraphernalia" and eventually facing my fear of stings.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Thank you!</blockquote>
