Having a leeway to use chopstick rests.

Recently, I've started getting into the habit of using chopstick rests at meal time.

Although I had some of them but rarely used them.I've wanted to use them for a long time, but it seemed like a hassle to wash them for six family members,

However last week or so, I suddenly thought, "Wouldn't it be easier for a family of four?'"

My two older sons have already left home, so we are a family of four, including my third son who is in the first year of middle school and my eldest daughter who is in second grade.

When I first started using it, I felt surprisingly good.

The small feeling of guilt I used to feel every time I place my chopsticks on top of my bowl or plate has completely disappeared.

It was just two chopstick rests, so I should have used them when my older sons were at home.

But maybe I didn't have that much room in my mind  at that time.
