Typical Maltese Mum Traits Which We Love/Hate Them For
Maltese Mums definitely deserve all the love and respect for having to put up with us for all our lives. But we would like to take this opportunity to point out their own set of quirks that contribute to making our mother-child relationships so unique.
Here’s a few universal facts about Maltese mums which we can never escape, but ultimately don’t want to.
1. Their famous short fuse
The smallest things will set a Maltese mum off, but they take about three seconds to calm down and go back to loving you with the passion of a thousand sonnets.
2. And penchant for overreaction
Mum, I forgot the iron on – I didn’t commit genocide or kill a litter of puppies.
3. Their uncanny weather forecasting
Which you never listen to and fervently regret when you’re freezing your balls off.
4. The fact that they’re basically prophets
You’ll only discover five years later looking back at photos that “Dak il-lipstick ma jixraqlekx binti...” was a 100% accurate assessment.
5. And part of the secret service
They know every scandal, every allegiance, every history of anyone you could possibly mention that’s living on the islands.
6. They know every detail about local recipes
We dare you to stump a Maltese mum on local food trivia. You’ll die trying.
8. They’re all political analysts
“Dak laburist/nazzjonalist jinten”.
9. And insult generators
No one can tell it like it is quite like an Omm.
BONUS: Utter legends
We wouldn’t have them any other way.
