are they really friends??
Quote From: cassie2_5It is crazy but I am afraid (terrified) of small animals like hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs etc. Lucky for me my kids have not brought one home !!! I can not explain it but I am very afraid of these type of animals. I am afraid of mice and of course rats but I just do not know why the fear of domestic rodents. Family friends of ours love to let their hamsters run around when we are over there to watch my cry and shake. I am ashamed to admit this as mother of two. 
  Personally I think it is cruel that your "friends" let their hamsters run around when you are there knowing that you fear them. And even worse that they amuse themselves with your reaction-crying and shaking. Are these people truly your friends? While they may not be afraid of rodents, it is a very real fear for you and they shouldn't joke about it. How would they like it if you tossed a snake (or whatever else they are afraid of) onto your living room floor when they come over?
