You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
妻子がいなくて感じるのは、食べる量と種類が減るということ。
I feel that I eat less amounts and variety of foods when I am alone at home.
料理をしてくれる妻がいると、いろいろな食材を使った料理が毎日作ってもらえるし、お昼ごはんも食べている。
When my wife is at home, we eat our lunch and she makes many kinds of meals using lots of groceries such as meats and fish.
しかし、妻子が実家に帰っている間、わたしは最低限の料理しかしないので、食材が減らない。
However, I just do the bare minimum for meals and I don’t eat my lunch when my wife and child are not at home.
いまは育休なので、多少料理する時間があるのでいいが、仕事が始まったら、もっと減らしていってもらわないと廃棄が出てしまう。
Even though I take time to cook during my paternity leave, I won’t have enough time to cook after my main job restarts. That means that some food waste may occur unless we decrease our food stock in the fridge.
この事実はきちんと妻にも共有しようと思う。
I will inform my wife of this situation.
To be continued.
