    I am not confusing the two at all - it is still fairly normal for women here (in Japan) to give up work after they marry. These woman do not, initially have children.

    Furthermore, it is also the norm here to put your child in full time daycare/preschool from around 1 year old. So these women do, indeed, have time to be messing around with bento boxes.

    I know that now! I'd failed to realise that your post was referring to Japan.

    As someone in UK who doesn't work after marriage (I have done, now I don't) tere is no way I am making my husband a hello kittie bento box either. Really.....not enough time in the world without kids, let alone with them..and while good nutritious food is an important part of their lives....that sort of thing would not be. Special occasions would be lovely thoguh.


    I am also the least alarmist person going about rice and food poisoning, but I think the idea of it being not cold enough in a lunch box out of a fridge would concern me a little.

    What a joke! Tell her you will do it occasionally, when it is convenient for you, and she can give you the money for materials when she comes to pick it up ;)
