Really bad mother's food management

Going home to my parents.

If you look at the food warehouse, it's full of expiration dates.

My mother's food management is really bad.

I don't clean detergent or cleaning goods, but there are too many. I'll buy it even though it's overflowing.

If you see a new shampoo, buy it, put the shampoo you are using in the washroom and start using the new one.

The washroom is full of half-finished shampoo.

I wish I could use a new one after using it up.

Typical unmanageable person.

My mother is 70 years old. She's stubborn and won't change no matter what she says.

... Read more私は実家の食品管理についての悩みを長年抱えています。特に食品の賞味期限に無頓着で、期限切れの調味料や保存食品がたくさんあるのを見ると心配になります。年齢を重ねた親世代は物を捨てることに抵抗があるのかもしれませんが、食品の安全面から考えると、とても気になるポイントです。 また洗面所のシャンプーなども同じで、新商品が出るたびに買い替えては使いかけのものを放置。結局たくさんのボトルが並び、どれも中途半端に残っている状態です。私自身も似たようなことをすることがあるため、完全に否定はできませんが、使い切る習慣をつけることは環境にも家計にも優しいと思っています。 このような状況を変えるためには、まず本人の意識が変わる必要があるでしょう。しかし高齢になると頑固で習慣を変えるのは難しいため、私たち子世代がサポートしながら少しずつ改善策を提案していくのが効果的かもしれません。 例えば賞味期限管理用のチェックリストを作って一緒に整理したり、使い切らずに残ったシャンプー類はまとめて別の場所に保管し、新商品はそれが減ったら使うルールを作るなどです。こうした工夫が日常の負担を減らし、食品や日用品の無駄遣い軽減にもつながります。 私自身、こういう家族の問題を経験して分かったのは、完璧を求めず無理なく自然に続けられる方法を模索することが大事だということ。相手の習慣や性格を尊重しつつ、共に快適な暮らしを目指す取り組みを続けていきたいと思います。

What parents often miss about picky eating
Dinner struggles are common, and many parents accidentally get stuck in a cycle that makes picky eating worse over time. A child refuses dinner → parent worries they’ll be hungry → a preferred food is offered → the child learns refusal changes the meal. This usually comes from a caring place.
