Has anyone seen this? This lady has these roaches that she keeps and calls them her children! Thanks, but no thanks. If I am going to have kids that are animals I would rather them be something less creepy and more fluffy! Anyways,this makes my skin crawl. Ewwwwewwwewww

Oh noooo I thought we were done talking creepy crawlies, at least for a week  

I mean, I guess to each his own, but my scalp is crawling right now!

I'm more creeped out by the fact that she calls them her children but then she drowns them and sells them to pharmaceutical companies. That is almost sociopath sounding.

Hahahah Sorrryyy! I know, creepy crawlies scare me too, I just thought it was too weird not to share!

I agree, this woman is a sociopath in the making. I mean, really? Roach children?

Honestly I'm just extremely happy/relieved that those are roaches and she is not responsible for an actual kid.

I can't click on that link. I have am so freaked out by roaches, that even pictures of them gives me anxiety. Based on the comments here, this lady sounds like a real nut job. At least it's only roaches that are her "children."

I wish the Knot has a dislike button. Not that this isn't a fun topic to snark at, but I want to give that creepy roach lady a big thumbs down!

I can understand keeping a lot of things that others would consider "gross", such as rats, snakes, lizards, and such....but roaches?  Really?  The ginormous ones on display at the zoo freak me out!  I certainly wouldn't want any in my house, especially not intentionally!
