Oh Mother

To have a baby or not to have a baby…

Having a baby is the Most Important Thing you can do. If you have one. If you don’t, something else can be the Most Important Thing.

What if I don’t want one? Can’t have one? The drums play a steady rhythm.

What if I like my life now and just want it to continue? Helen is pretending to be a foetus again.

What if all my friends have them, will I feel stupid and pitied and alone? Penny is running in circles.

What if I’m desperate to have one and I can’t find someone to do it with? Abbi is crouching in the bushes ready to pounce.

What if I don’t want to do it on my own? What if I fall in love with someone who doesn’t want them? What if I fall in love with someone who really wants them and I have to do it for them? What will my mum think?

Following the award winning Three Sisters, RashDash and their mums explore having and becoming mothers.

What if I want five kids and a big car, alright?! What if I want no kids and a motorbike?!
