Move to Dubai or stay in the UK? Confused!
I am new to this forum. I hope most of us have gone through times where we have to make some decisions. I am unable to decide!
DH has been working in Dubai since January 2014. He has a challenging job with a good salary. Me, DS (13 yrs) & DD (9 yrs) are in the UK, where I have a good part time job and we have our own house. Both DS & DD are bright and DS goes to a top selective grammar school. He loves his school and is doing very well there. DD goes to a local primary. Both do a lot of extracurricular activities. DH wants us to move to Dubai & so applied in various schools. DS got into JESS and DD got into GEMS Silicon Oasis. We are now confused!
Should we disturb DS when he is well settled in his school? Would they be able to enjoy extracurricular activities as in the UK? We have been to Dubai twice this year - DS & DD likes Dubai as a holiday place, but don’t want to live there.
Another thing I have to mention is Dubai is not a new place for us as we lived in Dubai nearly 2 yrs before moving to the UK in 2001 when DH got a job transfer. But it is a new place for my children. We don’t have any family in the UK, but have made some good friends over the years. We have family & friends in Dubai. I don’t mind moving to Dubai but my DS’s grammar school is the pulling factor. I have read good reviews about JESS, still worried if DS would be able to settle in easily as he is a quiet boy. I don’t have much concern about DD as she can easily adapt. We have been in this rollercoaster ride for the past few weeks – one day we decide to move, the next day we think of staying back. Any advice, opinions, suggestions welcome.
