I don't think about things one day at a time, and I started looking at things from a long-term perspective. there was. Of course, I thought, ``I have to make all the dishes by hand. But now, "Even if I don't have to order rice with one soup and three side dishes every day, I can easily have a bowl of rice today. But maybe I should just add natto." I can now think. Rather than thinking about things one day at a time, I have learned to look at things from a slightly longer perspective. When you're a mother, there are days when you're like, "I can't cook anymore...". Because of the coronavirus pandemic, it's not easy for everyone to go shopping together, but on days like that, I go to the supermarket or convenience store with my children and say, "Today is a special day. You can buy whatever you want for dinner!" That's what I'm saying. When I do that, I say, "Yes! I did it! Really? What can I buy?" While saying things like, "Oh, really, really, can I really eat it?" When I set up a day where I can say, "I don't care about anything today," it makes it very easy for me, and it becomes a very special day for the children, which makes us both happy. Of course, I don't think it's good to continue every day. But sometimes, when you're at your limit, I think it's better for mothers to take it easy.

Painting on walls and pasting stickers are all "art"! (Laughs)

In the old days, you had to vacuum every day before you left the house. I think it was about five years ago. One time, when I told my mom friend, she was surprised and said, "Oh, do you wear it every day?" "Oh, you don't wear it every day, do you?" (laughs) Now that I know I don't have to wear it every day, I leave it to my Roomba when I go out. When I think about it, I think that the idea that ``housewives have to protect the house'' was very strong. So when my eldest daughter was born 14 years ago and when she was still small, I would immediately remove stickers from the walls and furniture, and erase them as soon as I drew them. At that time, I think I did something really bad to my eldest daughter. After the birth of my third child, I kept pasting and drawing. For some reason, there are adhesive plaster on the wall. It's only recently that even that has come to be seen as art. The way my values ​​have changed since my third child was born, I wonder if it's really big.
