I was hoping by this time someone else would have attempted to get a response on this CRAVING. Let me get this straight, when I think of AJAX I am visualizing the cleanser, like COMET, that is used to clean TOILETS, SINKS and TUBS. So that being said, HOW DOES ONE DEVELOP A CRAVING FOR A CLEANING PRODUCT??
NOT ONLY THAT but how PRAYTELL did her mama let her sit there and keep eating it? She was still a minor. Tell her no. I am FLABBERGASTED @ this craving.

That is like me getting prego and craving Febreze, Tide, Clearasil, gasoline, battery acid or other things. She now has a 16 year old. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I am analyzing this from a lot of different standpoints.

I'm CTFU over here @ "Febreze, Tide< Clearasil" and I KNOW this is serious. I couldn't help myself............

Anyhow, I did find this odd because I thought she would be foaming at the mouth or something. I just refrained from responding

To answer questions/comments to my post...

Like I said, her having 6 kids by the time she was 21 is a whole 'nother story, but yes she has a 16, 15, 14, 12, 10, and a 9 year old. She dropped out of school during her 1st pregnancy and was in and out of juvenile, girls' homes, her mom's house, and the guy's house who she had the 1st 3 kids by.

Anyway, she ate AJAX and didn't really give a damn about what her mom or anyone else had to say about her eating it. Whenever her mom would throw it away, she'd wait until her mom went to work or left the house for whatever reason and she'd walk to a store and get more. I've also known 3 other women that craved detergent. No, it doesn't sound nor seem normal, but it's does happen.

I'm not playing devil's advocate here for my cousin nor am I condoning giving into such cravings, but she did this with all 6 of her kids.
I thought she had lost the best part of her mind when I heard about her doing this, and I did not believe it until I witnessed her doing it...and to this day, I still don't understand it.

That's absolutely AMAZING. :ee: I'm 31 years old and I have two children, yet I've NEVER heard of such a craving in my life. Now I've heard of women who crave STARCH and DIRT, but no CLEANING PRODUCTS. According to what I've researched, odd cravings like that usually means that the person has an iron deficiency or something like that. I wonder how your cousin's children (her daughters in particular) will react to cravings whenever they have children. Something to think about, right?

With my daughter, I craved lemonade. The frozen kind in the cans. I drank it almost everyday.

I'm in the same boat. I lost a TON of weight my first trimester (25 pounds). It's all good cuz I was chunky to begin with. I'm at my ideal weight except for my little bulge. I'll be five months next week and I'm wearing my old clothing (size 12 and 14) to accomadate the bulge. Some size 12 are too big. Everyone at work thinks I'm so skinny but this is the size I was when I was at my old job so they're just not used to seeing me like this. My parents and my husband think I look wonderful and as long as my doctor says I'm fine and I hear that wonderful heartbeat at my appointments...I'm OK.

No cravings here...things just taste funny. I'm getting better. I heard it gets better in the 5th month. It needs to be better by THANKSGIVING.
