I'm So, So Sorry Little Catapillars!

My kids have adopted about 4 caterpillars they have found. They feel they need to "raise" them. I have great caterpillar guilt. I know what's going to eventually happen to those poor little creatures yet they are keeping my kids so entertained. Do I set them free tonight after the kids go to bed or let them succumb to their inevitable fate? One is already "sleeping". He may be a gonner already. What to do?

i'd let them go. you can tell the kiddos they became butterflies or they ran away, and they should try and find them lol

That's a tough call! I like the previous suggestions...

You make them free the caterpillars by explaining that the caterpillars have mommies and daddies and that they will be worried if they don't come home for dinner.
