    I’m so happy that I’m not the only one who leaves spiders (mostly) alone in the house. I had a neighbor once who was like, “Uhh… there’s a big 'ol spider in your bathroom.” One of my children then goes, “That’s Henrietta. She lives behind the toilet and eats bugs.” The neighbor looked at us like we were crazy. Henrietta’s offspring have been living quietly in my downstairs bathroom eating ants for about 20 years now.

      I also leave spiders as long as they stay in the corners. If they invade my personal space, they forfeit their lives.
