Walker shows readers the unselfconscious Mama, a mother who handles the
toughest of jobs with her “rough, man-working hands” (Walker 270). A mother’s role
usually entails taking on more tasks than any other character does; in fact, mothers
are pretty much the hardest working people around. The condition of Mama’s hands
shows the effort she puts into the tasks she performs in and around the family’s house,
such as in the winter when she “work[s] outside all day, breaking ice” in order to “get
water for washing” (Walker 270). She does many brutal outdoor jobs. On the other
hand, Sedaris presents a mother in “Let It Snow” who is the opposite of Mama, largely
because of “the secret life she [leads]” (Sedaris 75). For instance, instead of cooking, the
Sedaris children’s mother is “in the kitchen, watching television,” (75) numbed by her
drinking. Her problem with alcohol hinders her desire or ability to work in and around
the house; she lacks the grit and commitment of Mama in Walker’s story. Mothers work
hard for many reasons and one of those reasons may be because they care so much.
