Time Out
Excerpts from the Tears of Joy, Tears of Frustration Exhibition for International Women's Day 2006
"I love the beach and the ocean. It's very healing even to visualise. The water takes away my cares and worries as a mum. It's really hard to balance all these stresses, so it's important to take time out, like today. It makes me a better person and a better mum." Kim, Single Mothers Lunch Group
"I've drawn my baby asleep. I love them best when they're asleep!" Kate, Melton Young, Pregnant and Parenting Group
It's hard to normalise your experience. Some days you just have to stick your child in the cot and walk away." Mother, Lesbian Parents Playgroup
"Being honest, not saying everything is okay when it's not because we do that all the time."
"Remember to breathe ..." Mothers from the Indigenous Parents Playgroup
"Love, happiness … I feel that these are my children, and no-one can take them away from me." Raquel, Spanish-speaking Mothers Group
