Samram, My doctor put me on 10 days antibiotics Klacid and suprax and the cough got clear but it came back again last month I get a chest pain too and I am panicking it could be something more serious than infection! This time antibiotics didnot work at all. I am fed up and need to see a lung specialist. Is your doctor just ENT or a lung dpecialust?

We live in Dubai Marina but will be moving in Jan. It will depend where the school will be we will move close by. I actually called up for admissions for FS1 today for this Sep 2014. I expected the popular schools have no place. Jess will only open registration on Sep 1st. Safa school assured me they still have place for FS1. My freinds don goes there and he is very happy. In my post I mentioned FS2 2015 but since my daughter is an Aug baby so she will be eligible for FS1 this Sep. I have changed my mind and will put her to school this year only to assure her place for FS2 next year as I heard getting a place for FS2 is really hard!the only problem with Safa school is that they will do assessment only on Aug 26th not earlier?! So what are the odds? I am not sure if I have to wait that long not to know if she gets admitted there or not? My DD is fully potty trained and her language and social skills are advanced. Although she is gonna be the youngest in the class, I am sure she will do well. Has anyone have experience with Safa school?the rating only shows good but I guess I can't afford the excellent ones plus they are already full! Is there any good stablished schools with low fees as Safa? Please help as I have to submit the application to Safa tomorrow or I ll be late Thanks

Thnx ladies I know what you say is right I am not in a position to send her back home before I decide on other options I ll lose my job and I can't afford it I just need some tricks to make her understand I know her purpose and not leaning towards any of them She skypes her boyfriend after work and I told her only allowed on Fridays she got upset Also anything happens she pick up the phone n call this "cousin" and he encourages her to get what she wants That's why I asked her not to use her ozone until 8 pm She did not like it either Her salary is suitable for her as she is not that experienced and her job isnot that hard We are only two and I do all the cooking n babycare myself I wad bullied before n I raised the my old maids salary by 500 just 6 months after the start Its not the amount it s the fact that if I give her all what she wants she will not stop asking And for what she has done she has to get less now and ask for less Sorry long but I m so stressed atm

Update- She returned this morning saying she made a mistake by leaving but she has had health issues and problems back home I explained how silly it was and she cried that she needs to work n make Monet for her family I told her I d give her a last chance and I wrote down some terms and conditions ( same ones I discussed with her on day 1) She asked me how much I paid for her visa etc. Then I told her to think about my conditions if she wants to stay She told me after two hours that she can't return the money so she wants us to send her back home I said ok at that moment That's all! I m confused why she returned if she wants to go back home? If it's this month salary I mnot gonna pay her if I am to deport her What do you think? Is she manipulating me to get what she wants? Because she knows I am on my own just paid all visa fees? Her English is not good so not sure if she understood me well ? What is the best course of action? I ve been manipulated before by the other maid they make use of me being a single mommy Pls advise

Update- I registeredmy daughter at Jebel Ali nursery lakes branch as it was too late for more research n this seemed the only one close to my place with space left Since April my Lo is been going there and attended summer camp as well. If it wasnot the distance I d put her in one of the ones mentioned below because they are big with lots of out door activities Jebel Ali one is **** for outdoor space n I was told they use the fitness first hall n pool but after registered they said only for 2.5 and above sigh It took 3 weeks for my Lo to settle She is fine there the staff n principal are great It's just I m not sure about their activities n programs We r moving out this Dec and I have to change her nursery for Jan She ll be 2.5 years then I m not sure I could recommend jebel Ali as I expect more n it seems my Lo has not progressed in behavior n manners Thus its very important for me rather than bunch of songs n art n crafts

Hi ladies I m so desperate to put my20 months old for Aprol term My first option toddler town has a waiting list fpr Sep Jebel Ali village full too British Orchard too expensive.the ones in Jlt without outdoor area are not suitable. I visited little woods today my gut feeling says it's the one since I don't have lots of options and time now Just what I m not sure about them is their curriculum they say international?! Also fees for 3 mornings are 9k minus 1500 registration fees Any one has experience with little woods? I need to make a decision very fast Thnx

I visited Little Discoverers today I really liked the outdoor garden n sand area. Based on good reviews on this forum I thought I d enroll my lo for April they still have 5 places avail for 18-24 months but I m kinda not sure if it's gonna be a good choice and there is two reasons why I think so:1. They are quite new 2. We live in marina so am thinking about the morning drive Has any one registered Lo for April? All JBR/ marina nurseries are full even for Sep so I m gonna do a research on media city nurseries tmw If any one s lo goes to any nursery would you pls advise which one is good? I know it's really late for April but I need to out lo some where close to marina Thnx

The exact same thing happened to my sister last month she received only 1000 outta 4500 deposit for a studio flat They just scammers. We dint even know who we are dealing with so my sister opened a case at land dep claiming the rest if the deposit it's gonna be hard to get your deposit back here especially if you have signed a contract saying you need to rerun the house in the sane condition who knows what breaks lator and it's not even your fault Good luck

Willow nursery sounds great I have an appointment to visit tmw. I used to take my daughter to Cooper clinic when she was a new born I know the nurses there they actually invited me to the nursery but never thought to have a try as I did not like the nurses they were old Children Oasis is full even for Sep I have put my daughter on waiting list there I really heard good things about Children Oasis Any one knows if kidville is good? I visited there but lil bit unsure as they are different than standard nurseries I also have booked an appointment with Inspire children but they follow American Curriculum What would any one think?
