I’m 24 weeks pregnant with my second child, with my first the cravings only started in the last 2 months of pregnancy or so.
These have been going since 6 weeks!! Today we went swimming and I accidentally got a mouthful of a pool noodle. I hate feeling like I’m an embarrassment because these cravings are getting the better of me but I can’t stop myself no matter how hard I try. It’s not even just chewing on the stuff I have to fight myself not to physically eat it.

Please if you have any tips or tricks on what to eat instead please help.
My cravings so far are :

Makeup sponges
Scrub daddies
Pool noodles

Hi Reddit , I write to ask this because I am unsure myself. Of whether it’s hormones or I am overreacting so I appreciate you reading and any advice!❤️

My husband and sister have gotten along amazingly since he and I were dating. Granted she can be a bit of a jerk sometimes but other than that it was fine.
We got married in February of last year , due to extreme circumstances with his parents who we are now no contact with the wedding was basically an elopement.

My sister then , on the already traumatic wedding day, decided to inform me that she had had a HUGE crush on my husband while we were dating and working together! (We all worked at the same place)

I was uneasy but brushed past it. Since then she has been I kid you not NONSTOP pushy about being alone with him, touchy , all the “I have a crush” things . And genuinely at first I thought I was overreacting.
Until I had our daughter and then my husband didn’t come home until late and when I asked where he was , granted I texted HIS phone.
My sister SENDS ME A PICTURE of them in his car hanging out.
I was LIVID. Because I texted HIM not her. Anyways I lost it when he got home, he assured me there was nothing on his end but I was still obviously upset.

Flash forward to now, June 2026, my husband and I decided to renew our vows and to throw the big wedding we wanted because we couldn’t originally due to circumstances.
Day of , my sister is being so rude and she mentions YET AGAIN, this time to all of our closest friends about her “former” crush.

Now my husbands best friend has pointed out to him numerous times before my sister is clearly trying to get with him, break us up, etc.
she walks around half naked (which like dress how you want but have decorum)
My husband and I had a really bad past living situation so when we had to move immediately we moved in to an apartment my parents rent out while we save for another place.
My sister also then moved back in and we share a common space (kitchen/bathroom)

Ever since she moved back in it has been nothing but trouble every single day.
My husband enjoys gaming on his off time , which is totally fine. It’s when he’s up till 5-6 AM waking me up or being loud that aggravates me.

My sister recently got herself a PlayStation and ever since then they play together EVERY night or almost every night until 5-6 AM. Even when I beg him not to be up so late because we either have plans in the morning OR he’s a grump when he wakes up.
He told me when I first confronted him about it that she’s just “easier to talk to”.
That stung because everytime I’ve asked about his day or whatever he just says “it was fine” and gets upset with me for pressing more.

Well fast forward to now, today yesterday and the last week or so. They have been staying up till 5-6 AM and I wake up to hear giggling and laughing after he told me one more game and he was going to bed at like 1-2.
Tonight was my final straw because I had previously told him MULTIPLE times how uncomfortable these late night sessions make me. And he said he would put a stop to them.
I’ve said something so many times I’ve lost count. He swears to me there’s nothing happening nothing at all, whatever.
But whenever she and him are together she is CONSTANTLY trying to make herself look more attractive. ( example: pulling down her shirt so her bra is showing, or her pants so her thong is type thing)
Last week we bought a bed off FB marketplace and she INSISTED on going with him to get it. I am currently in a high risk pregnancy and shouldn’t be lifting but I wanted to go and she would not let Me.
He was unaware of her insisting and when told they were going to go get said bed frame he accepted it. Well , they ended up being gone for more than 2 hours (the meetup was only 30 minutes away.) and going somewhere for something without telling me or my mom. (We were waiting for them to return to build the bedframe.)
And I was quite unhappy when they arrived because my sister was giving me smirks and sassy looks.

But anyways tonight I ended up getting so angry I went to go sleep in our daughters room, she had woken up at this point and I lay trying ti convince her to go back to sleep. I am upset because when I left the room my husband mentioned out loud asking why I was so upset.
And my sister through his headphones went “oh she’s just overreacting.”

He ended up leaving the game soon after and came to talk to me and I told him YET AGAIN how uncomfortable it makes me , how I am tired of being woken up by this every night.
I feel like me walking out of the room, getting so upset maybe was overreacting but I honestly don’t know!!
He keeps assuring me nothing is going on but yet I am so unsure.
Am I overreacting?

Edit/update:
I’ve been reading all the comments and wanted to clear up a few things .
1st my sister IS NOT SINGLE. She has a boyfriend , he is actually not a great guy himself and ever since getting with him her behavior has worsened. She’s also been a complete jerk since we were children. She was always upset because I “had more friends” than she did. And in turn she tried to sabotage friendships so maybe I should have seen this coming lol

2nd I know alot of you said I need to grow a spine a backbone a pair of balls, and I promise I am trying. I did not truly think it was this bad until now.
3rd I am actually going to show him this post because if he truly is just clueless and trying to be a good BIL the comments might help change his mind.

And regarding if this is fake or not, if you believe it is so be it but it’s not. I wish for my mental health it was.

Edit/update 2: I showed my husband this post and he agreed that it has gone too far.
He genuinely did not think that it was this bad. I told him how did he feel whenever I told him it made me uncomfortable. He said sad because he wanted to fix it just wasn’t quite sure how. But from now on there will be no more late night gaming sessions and if there is I’m leaving. I stated that clearly. My parents are involved and my sister will be dealt with in due time if not immediately. How she will be dealt with I am unsure. But it is nice to know I’m not overreacting nor crazy. He also admitted that he just felt bad because my sister always says she has no friends. His best friend even ended up getting involved and saying something to him along the lines of “you have a wife and child and you’re allowing your SIL to act like this? “ the minute we move out I am going low contact with my sister. The only reason I haven’t is because 1 we still live together sort of and 2 it would break my mothers heart. But it’s also breaking her heart that one of her daughters has the audacity to try and sleep with her other daughter’s husband.
My husband has also told me numerous times before that the way my sister dresses and pushes herself around makes him uncomfortable. And anytime we’ve said anything to her she just rolls her eyes and gets annoyed.

Anyways thank you for all the kind comments and even the not so kind ones lol

Am I the AITAH for not allowing my sister to borrow my car?
I am a pregnant SAHM with a one year old and I don’t drive very many places .
My sister has had 3 at fault accidents in the last year, 2 of those accidents happened in the last 2 weeks!!
Every single time she said she didn’t see this person in front of her and didn’t stop in time.
The last time she crashed? She crashed my parents van because her car was still damaged from the accident a week and a half prior.

Yesterday she sat me down and said “well since you don’t go anywhere I just assumed I could use your-“
I cut her off and said no absolutely not. Because if you wreck with MY car it will make my insurance triple not yours. She immediately got defensive and said she wouldn’t wreck it. And I said given her track record I had no evidence to believe she wouldn’t wreck my car.

Her whole attitude was VERY entitled and very much so clear she wasn’t happy with my choice. She was pissy because she couldn’t drive herself to work , our entire family has been talking about getting her license revoked because she never gets any repercussions at all. Then she has the audacity to ask to use one of our vehicles and get upset and call me the AH when I said absolutely not.

So Reddit, am I the AH?

Editing to add one more piece of info, my parents had an extra van in case the other one broke down , fully paid off type of thing.
My sister crashed her first car and automatically assumed she could use it and took the van without asking.
Obviously this bugged my parents but they didn’t say anything. She then proceeded to the day she did that get completely drunk and spend the night at a friends house not telling my parents or me and my husband. And when my husband and I checked in on her? We were the AHs for “not letting her be her own person.” I could have cared less atp but she was using my parents van and didn’t tell them she wouldn’t be home so they left the door unlocked for her!!! All night!!! (She lives at home and rents from them)
