Hello and Welcome!
I’m Prabs, creator of Absolutely Prabulous, an award-winning blog bringing you entertaining and serious observations on mum life, married life, Malta life, midlife and modern life. I started AbPrab after people described my Facebook posts about parent fails and domestic disasters, as sitcom material that deserved its own dedicated platform.
A bit about me: I’m a British Asian, a former London-Paris girl and now a beach-lovin’ mum in Malta. My main achievements include losing any key in my possession, yelling “What do you MEAN you can only find ONE shoe?!” 27 times a day and overthinking almost anything. (I’m also a master at useless pop trivia, fluent French speaker and skilled procrastinator.) My biggest fears are running out of vodka and screwing up my 3 kids (in that order) and I wear sunglasses at home so I can’t see the mess.
I can’t believe I haven’t received a ‘spousal award’ for surviving the loudest snoring for 20 years…and can’t believe I actually did receive an award for this blog.
In short, if you want a practical guide to parenting and domesticity, erm THIS is not THAT!
But if you enjoy funny, moving and honest writing about this thing called life, I’m your gal. So I hope you’ll stick around, read some, feel some and comment some! (For the juicy stuff click here.)

I’m now fourteen years in to school parent life. Not surprisingly, I’ve seen a lot of change in that time. My three kids have made (and said goodbye to) numerous school friends. We’ve experienced the varying approaches of umpteen teachers. We’ve changed schools. And yes, I’ve met many different types of school parent over the years. Most of us don’t like being stereotyped. And writing something like this is probably similar to producing horoscopes: logically most people will match at …
