Dishes in the family - is it common or does everyone have their own?

Each family has its own rules. In some, all household members sit in the kitchen in strictly designated areas and each has its own plates, cups and cutlery. And others act more democratic, using a service in which you can hardly determine whose plate or cup is, and who used it before you. Which one is doing the right thing?

Expert opinion

We are used to the fact that each family member has their own toothbrush, comb, shaving machine and even a towel. But there is no such unanimity with the dishes in the kitchen. The food is cooked in one saucepan, poured in one ladle into plates, and all the household members gobble up on both cheeks, not really thinking about who used his plate or spoon before. Unless a set is held for guests, so that in a festive setting the table looks more beautiful.

Maybe you shouldn't be so much afraid of the exchange of microbes through shared utensils between loved ones. After all, you still use a common sink, bathroom, toilet, sleep together and often kiss each other. But if there is a sick person in the house - with a cold, with herpes, common syphilis or AIDS - there is nothing you can do about it! We will have to allocate separate cutlery for this family member, wash them separately from the common dishes and keep them aside.

A small child should also have a mandatory set of dishes. Get a set with funny cartoons that your baby has a weakness for. From such plates, the child will eat with appetite. And it will not only look aesthetically pleasing, but also meet all hygienic requirements.

People's opinion

We decided to research the opinion of ordinary Internet users about the use of common utensils in the family, and went to several forums where this topic was discussed. V As a result, site visitors were divided into the following categories:

1. Families in which each member has their own personal mug, spoon, fork, plate (such a minority).
2. Families where separate dishes are reserved exclusively for children (smaller in size and with children's drawings), and adults use shared plates.
3. Families in which it is customary to eat from common plates and cutlery, but each has individual mugs (the overwhelming majority).
4. Families, in which everyone has their own plate and cup, not for reasons of hygiene, but because of different sizes, depending on who eats how much soup in one sitting and how much tea they drink.

Each family has its own traditions and habits. Many are sure that nowadays dishes are washed with detergent, which means that the hygiene problem disappears by itself. And you must admit, it looks a little comical when at home each family member eats exclusively from his plate, and when visiting a cafe, you have to eat from a common dish. And it is still unknown who used it before you, and in what conditions it washed.

Signs and superstitions

If you turn to the sorcerers and witches for advice, they will definitely say that eating from the same plate is a bad omen. People who do this may soon quarrel.

If you carry secret thoughts behind your soul and if you do not want to share them with your neighbors, then all the more you should take food from different plates. Otherwise, the person who shared the meal with you may find out all your hidden intentions.

In terms of bioenergy, it is also not recommended to use common utensils, otherwise people will be able to energetically influence each other, and the health and well-being of the family depends on this.

Please note that you should definitely get rid of the dishes that you don't like. Otherwise, an unpleasant cup or bowl will annoy you, and you will charge this item with negative energy. And the one from the family who will use it will take all the negativity onto himself.

It is also not worth washing dishes in a bad mood, otherwise it will become energetically contaminated. It is not for nothing that the quarreling spouses beat the plates, and this action is followed by a stormy reconciliation - this is how they rid the surrounding space of negativity.

Bioenergetics believe that it is desirable for each family member to have their own set of serving for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Remember how in a fairy tale the bear shouted: "Who ate my bowl for them?" This is important for the energetic health of the family. And the dishes and cutlery touched by the guests must be washed very carefully, after rubbing with salt. You can even "burn out" in the sun.

It seems that in this business, as in every other, it is worth deciding, without fanaticism, what exactly suits your family, and following these unwritten rules. And children, following the example of their parents, will do exactly the same.
