In most cases the answer is no . When someone has a legitimate fear then that's pretty much all there is too it . It's doubtful that you'll convince them otherwise . I'm not saying don't give it a try , but you'll probably be waiting until you have your own place .If you were terrified of snakes, it wouldn't be very nice for your sister to buy a snake. If their fear is at the phobia level, then I'd drop the subject all together. If they just get the "willies" over spiders like 99% of the population, then try talking to them.
That's generally what I did. I got my father interested in them, and my mother warmed up to them along the way. They also sell cages that you can put a lock on, if that makes your mother and sister feel better about things.When I got my first T I didn't ask my parents before. That's not what I would recommend you do if you have a regular relationship with your parents. It's hard to convince people who are scared of spiders that they are harmless and I for my part don't even bother explaining it to people anymore. You can try to tell them all the regular stuff like they are harmless, they are usefull because they eat other insects etc. but tbh usually that doesn't work too good. If you live with your father and he isn't scared of spiders I would first try to convince him.
Well at least they finally let you out.Once a brat in Italy killed all of his family because he was pissed off by the fact that he wasn't entitled to partake in the, for orphans only, trip day organized by the Church.
I'm not saying that this is your case, uh. Just a memento
Me? Being you, in the same situation? Well, I did that in 1992, and I wasn't 19, I/We (Bro) were 13 and 12
Oh... ha fatto la battutaWell at least they finally let you out.
When I got my first T I still lived with both of my parents. Neither of them said something about me getting a spider without asking permission (I was only 17). They both took a look, asked some questions and then decided both that it is to boring for them. I would just go with the father because males usually aren't that scared of spiders (exceptions excluded before somebody complains) and might be easyer to convince and maybe even show some interest. In my eyes thats your best bet going with your dad but it might also fail.That's generally what I did. I got my father interested in them, and my mother warmed up to them along the way.

In 1992 I wasn't even alive, old man .Me? Being you, in the same situation? Well, I did that in 1992, and I wasn't 19, I/We (Bro) were 13 and 12
Yeah, but you and Bro were still in the cute phase. At 19, not so much.Once a brat in Italy killed all of his family because he was pissed off by the fact that he wasn't entitled to partake in the, for orphans only, trip day organized by the Church.

Respect old people or I will send you an helluva of Angela Merkel naked pics via a powerful PC virus, and no one wants to see that crapIn 1992 I wasn't even alive, old man .
100% agree with this. My mom would never be fine with the idea of a spider in the house but my dad is pretty much perfectly fine so long as there's no chance anything will get out.I would just go with the father
Well, but a 19 year Lady is (technically, eh) supposed to be more responsible than a couple of Slayer T-shirts brats returning home with a couple of giant hairy spidersYeah, but you and Bro were still in the cute phase. At 19, not so much.
True. So true. Sigh.Well, but a 19 year Lady is (technically, eh) supposed to be more responsible than a couple of Slayer T-shirts brats returning home with a couple of giant hairy spiders
