Just as I’m about to put on the rubber gloves, the dampness clings to my skin and my hand won’t go in.
I’m ready to start doing the dishes, yet the steam escapes.
Still, there’s no choice but to continue.
Though I do this task three times a day, it is neither familiar nor enjoyable.
Like forcing my hand into stubborn rubber gloves, I barely push myself through it each time.
The “labor” attached to my role as a “mother” is not something that happens naturally or effortlessly.
It is uncomfortable—just like those damp rubber gloves.
