Ms Solomon wasn’t surprised to hear 1000 Illawarra parents had sought support last year from the CatholicCare Parent Line, admitting life can be hectic, but there’s always a funny side in a world that’s so ‘‘full-on’’.

‘‘This morning we had swimming, then school, then Lucinda’s first dance class, that’s in between trying to get some work done on the computer.

‘‘You’ll find me breastfeeding at the computer, child lying across the keyboard,’’ she joked.
