In fact in Malta it’s considered abnormal for unmarried persons not to live with their parents, if they are alive. I know many unmarried persons including prominent politicians and clergymen who live or who have lived with their parents until they died.

Many unmarried persons continue living in the family home. Unmarried siblings usually continue to live together. I know a married teacher, not living in Malta and who is not Maltese, who live with his family and his elderly mother-in-law. Is this wrong?

[Daphne – Yes.]

Most unmarried persons in Malta of all ages live with their parents, if they are still alive, or other family members.

[Daphne – So that makes it all right, does it, for a man of 41 to be living with his parents? How many men his age do that, even if they aren’t married?]

Still the best way to guard a cock. And far cheaper than a police officer.

Men like Franco Debono never marry. They are incapable of intimacy, are frightened of being close to anyone, can’t share, and see every relationship as an assault on their privacy and independence.

They live alone – even if with their parents – and die alone.

To leave his mother’s house would mean getting married to his long-suffering girlfriend or spending good money on a full-time housekeeper.

He is incapable of looking after himself, no matter what his report cards say.

A groin guard only makes sense when there actually is something to guard.

He can’t form proper romantic relationships or friendships and yet he needs constant attention from other human beings.

When he is physically alone he hits his mobile and starts to pester others with his demands.

Signs of a sick man.
