So ever since I can remember my mom would eat raw flour and baking soda , she always said that she’s done this since she was 14 years old. Actual flour like all purpose cooking flour. She would also occasionally eat pancake mix if she ran out of flour. The addiction to flour was really bad to the point where as kids we’d have to go and ask neighbors for some when my mom didn’t have any money to buy any. Flour and baking soda would sometimes be the only food we had , but my mom would cook it for my sister and I l.However this randomly stopped a few years ago , she just doesn’t do it anymore. But now it’s spread to me , I first noticed when I was 18 and living away from my mom that anytime I was near flour I was salivating and had the urge to eat it. This never happened when I lived with her and I never had the wanting to eat it , now I am 26 and I eat flour , I live with my mom now and I know it would crush her if she knew that I was eating flour too. I feel bad for doing this but now I can’t seem to stop myself from sneaking and eating it. I guess I’m just wondering if it really is possible to inherit addiction from parents and how to stop it.

Edit because I forgot to mention it here : Yes , I do know about pica and the wanting to eat non food objects.I believe my mom was diagnosed with pica when she was much younger. From what I’ve gathered over the years it’s an eating disorder

Not sure if this is standard practice for hotels but this was my first time booking a hotel stay. My mom normally books everything , anyways I booked two Hotel rooms in Vegas for myself , my sister and her boyfriend. one room with two beds and another room with a single bed. all of our names were on the reservation and we selected the first level of the hotel. When we arrived at the hotel the attendant said we could use the self service kiosk because she needed to do something first , she then asked what room my sister was stay in and that he name needed to be added additionally. When we got to the rooms they were on the 17th floor and we had two double bed rooms instead of the double and the single. We had already paid all fees online but were told that there was an additional fee of $275 per room. if it helps this was the circus circus hotel in Vegas. I’m just confused as to why we didn’t get the rooms we booked and why there were additional fees after the fact.
