“In one of her interviews during the election campaign, Mrs Muscat said that she and her husband decided to speak to their children in English, not Maltese, because they take their children to embassy receptions and similar events, where they meet lots of people they have to speak to in English.”

My parents always spoke to me in Maltese and so did my teachers.

[Daphne – Mine spoke to us in both, safe in the assumption that their children were capable of learning two languages.]

No it’s not her mother that’s helping her, this women her maiden surname was Tanti, I know that she left her job and she is working with the Muscat family.

In reply to Basla.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all.

It is so obvious that they are milking every penny possible. I just would not put it past them that they would put Michelle’s mother on a payroll. After all fifty euro a day is not a miserly pay. Out of the country’s coffers of course.

After all from where these people come from, it wouldn’t matter much if the prime minister’s mother in law would be employed as a housekeeper.

In reply to Basla. Who knows Daphne? I think whoever is she, for sure she is being paid.

Yes this has been getting on my nerves really. The Muscats have the cheek to USE their children to win sympathy. It`s now reached the verge of backfiring badly.

The reason for dragging the kids around is because Muscat is in constant marketing mode. It seems that someone has drilled into him the importance of being seen as a family man.

In reply to Mr. Bean There Done That. I was thinking on the same lines.

I’m told that Joseph Muscat didn’t go, after all, but hey you should have seen Karmenu Vella taking pictures with fans after the concert like a pop star. I also saw Joseph’s driver in the VIP pit.

In a previous post, I was half-joking about one of the most difficult decisions taken by Muscat being whether to allow his children to go to school at all. It’s really lookng like I will have to take that statement a bit more seriously.
