You are assuming Muscat thinks!

She was having difficulty reading and breathing at the same time!

Corlummy! My mother brought up two sets of twins, in between two other singles, with about four changes of residence (including living abroad for a couple of years) . . .

In reply to ciccio2011. They are in the most unusual situation of having a very prominent role in public life while projecting the image of a stay-at-home-out-of-sight stereotype.

In reply to cat. Mrs Muscat has her mother-in-law at the same address and also her mother on hand to help. She also has a babysitter or nanny.

In reply to Interested Bystander AKA non-Catholic outsider. The posh version is: pregnant, barefoot and in the kitchen.

Xi trid tparla Mrs. Muscat? Ghandha lil ommha u lil kunjata maghha bhala baby-sitters.

What if she was my neighbour who lost her husband and brought up three sons by herself without any help? She wasn’t well off but the three of them graduated – and in Rome, university is not free and you don’t get a stipend or a grant.

Not to mention all the women whose husbands work on oil-rigs or in the desert, or in the military, going off for months at a time, widows and other single mothers who are bringing up a family all by themselves.

Not everybody has got the “luxury” of having the grandparents around to help, or of not working for their living.

This echoes the church’s view of women – there to do men’s bidding.

Or as my grandad said, “Keep ’em well stuffed and poorly shod”.
