I know it is late but just a newbie introduction
Just wanted to finally say a proper hello and to admit that I have been lurking on here on and off for two years! It looks like we are to leave good old Wales for Dubai. DH has been asked to get his head round negotiations for a swift move for him - i.e. 2 weeks! and I will follow. I need some good advice from all you in the know - firstly how to remain cool calm and collected - I am very concerned about the school situation. I have 3 children, they arrived rather late in my life and in quick succession, so DS 13 who is in Senior Yr 2 currently, DD who will be 12 in April and in a 1st year of Senior and another DD who will be 11 in July and will enter 1st year senior in Sept. What to do and where do I start I would really welcome some advice please - british curriculum schools - I have viewed the previous threads about schools and I don't want my first post to cause a to do! but I am not too sure about senior school places etc.. DH when in Dubai will be at the office in Jebel Ali, however will travel an awful lot - I will ask him to see if the company has any debentures with any schools, if not where should I start? My little one is dyslexic and my older son is dyspraxic and on the autistic spectrum however he currently is in mainstream and it is not really a major problem as he is only mildly affected. I have previously been expat when the children were much younger and we were in KL - have been back in the UK for nearly four years. I am thinking that it is not so easy this time as for me their needs are different and they also are in the know so have to deal with leaving their friends etc.. I have made a rule for me to follow from yesterday pm - a glass of wine each night with a reminder to keep calm and carry on. If there are any ladies who can help me get through this in a good way I will be most grateful and would like to meet up when finally over as that is another thing I am concerned about is that I don't have little ones to meet up with ladies who are on the kiddies circuit anymore. Hey this is long enough and I do apologise as it is so late for you - thanks for bearing with me and I don't mind talking with anybody via email if they feel they don't want to post up and cause a full blown school debate! (I mean it in a nice way1) just have'nt worked out the smileys yet! plse excuse the spellings aswell. Thank you so much and I feel better I have had the courage to say Hi.
