So I have to do the litter boxes downstairs every night, bc they need somewhere 2 go down there or they'll do it on the floor. And no one else wants to do it.

But thing is, it's the basement, dark, lonely, long hallway, & SPIDER CRICKETS. It's their favorite place to go.

I'm an arachnophobe & afraid of bugs, so I'm REALLY scared of them, I can't even go near them because I'm afraid they'll jump on me & crawl all over me.

The first year of this, my mom sent me or herself to kill the cricket, but now she just says "it won't do anything to you." & does nothing.

I've told her many times I'm scared of them but she refused to accept that.

So I literally broke down crying because I was trying to go back upstairs & a HUGE spider cricket was in my way crawling towards me on the steps. I cried for what seemed like an hour, sobbing & breathing heavily & all she does is yell at me to hurry up which makes it worse.

This isn't even the first time it has happened. She seriously yells at me for crying over a spider cricket.
