They have to go. When we do yard work, we teach him that the bugs, worms and spiders are good out there and we let him touch (some) of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-kill-insects#post-443686 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 18:01:58 +0000 BabyLove 443686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha, not yet but I'm pretty sure I won't mind it. Not 'squitos, at least. Lady bugs, catepillars and the like- don't kill. But, mosquitos, spiders, centipedes- feel free to be a serial killer! Yuck. And I continue to read articles on all the bad things mosquitos are carrying. Go Charlie, Go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-kill-insects#post-443680 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 17:57:08 +0000 Honeybee 443680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes DD kills ants and then kisses them "better." We always try to relocate bugs outside instead of killing them, but I think she gets a little over excited sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-kill-insects#post-439769 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 08:47:42 +0000 Andrea 439769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What else with you do with a mosquito? You gotta kill that sucker! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-kill-insects#post-349090 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 21:14:52 +0000 mrbee 349090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel bad about this one. We get so many mosquitoes in Brooklyn, and they bite us over and over so we're forced to kill them in front of the kids.</p> <p>So now, Charlie has learned to hate mosquitoes. He is always saying, "Go away, 'squitoes!!" Then he tries to kill them with his hands (but fails, of course - it's not easy to kill a 'squito with your bare hands!).</p> <p>I feel bad that we've trained him to want to kill insects without a second thought. At some point, I want to figure out a way to get him to see killing as the last resort. It's just hard when we're being devoured by a voracious mosquito... my primal desire is to kill that sucker!</p> <p>Does your LO ever want to kill insects? </p>
