In verses where she is not paired up with anyone, Maiz eventually creates her own children through science.
One such situation actually does happen in one of her verses for Super. Spoiler alert: only one experiment survives and The Kid Is Not Okay™.
The relationship with these experiments are impersonal; she doesn't see them as her child(ren). They're merely an extension of her and a way to cheat death, however temporarily. Unlike Frieza (and Garlic Junior, or Zamasu, even), she doesn't thirst for immortality--she doesn't want it. She knows that's silly. It's a childish dream. If someone were to ask her about it or offer it, she'd probably hesitate before answering or give a disgusted look. Everything is not meant to live forever, and she knows that--she's just hypocritical when it comes to herself because she refuses to let go of her trauma from the Saiyan Genocide.
Hence, why she would turn to unethical experimentation--initially, she'd try to figure out a way to extend her lifespan naturally. Longevity would be the goal. If she could get rid of aging altogether or slow it down further, she'd do that. But, time would catch up to her at some point, wouldn't it? Death would come, eventually. . . . And what's the point of continuing to live when everything she once knew and cared about is nothing but a memory? Without a way to stay in her prime indefinitely, she'd succumb to her innermost thoughts and worries about her empire coming undone. So, that'd cause her to make an army of Saiyan-blooded individuals. The relationship would be impersonal because she's not doing it for the sheer love of motherhood or because she had a change of heart and wanted to create something for creation's sake. It'd be to preserve what's left of Saiyan Culture. To continue the system she created, with no thought about them and their wishes. She wouldn't care about these children outside of that purpose; she wouldn't bond with them or be close, emotionally. Their purpose is to surpass her and be long lasting. To create another generation and tend to the planets, conquer more, enslave more, and so on.
They would be conquerors like her. Tyrants.
Not children, and not people with their own thoughts and feelings.
As far as she's concerned, they wouldn't even be allowed to talk out of turn unless it's to warn her of something. And goddess help them if they develop more empathy than she has naturally, or enough consciousness to ask her questions. She'd give them the cold shoulder. Depending on the severity of their infraction, she might even make an example out of them. She's very much "do as I say, and do it right the first time I tell you". Calling her a matriarch would be a stretch--she's more accurately a cruel mistress that violates the codes of BDSM for whatever reason. A drill sergeant. A distant, ever-looming guillotine that threatens to come down hard at the slightest movement.
The only upside is that whoever or however many of them survive--verse and plot depending--Maiz would become hands off when they show complete understanding of her instructions. Contrary to belief, Maiz isn't the type to abuse her subjects (read: slaves) for no reason; if she does, it's typically because they failed an instruction twice (they don't get a luxury of a third chance, sometimes once is enough), or because they happened to be in the crosshairs of her wrath, typically unrelated to their work performance. Her temper was much worse in the beginning years of her rule--she calmed down in her 30's, more or less.*
#Character Study: Power Erodes Personality#{{ *In her main verse (s) - she's about early to mid 40's. In Super- she's mid 40's and up.#{{ so that's why in most of her threads- she seems cool calm and collected. she still has a nasty temper but it's hidden better.#{{ and as for why she'd still age out of her prime even with the aide of science: she's a mortal and she's a Saiyan.#{{ Saiyan genes don't foster a healthy environment for immortality. that's how i see it. it's a long story but ill put that in another post#{{ aid* I'm not saying it's impossible but... *points at GB#{{ & and Zamasu* that corrupted fusion happened for a reason...... and y'all know i love to explain weird stuff and plot holes.#{{ so that's my explanation. more or less. like i said ill explain it in another post. i promise 😩#{{ eggcuse any typos in the tags or the post you see. no u didn't. im still working on stuff to clear my headdddd 😭 shhhhhhhh
