Hi. It sounds like breastfeeding is totally done so no point trying that anymore. I can't believe that a doctor would tell you to water down baby formula. That is a very dangerous practice! You must stop doing that immediately. Please do not give her water and definitely no sugar. You just have to persist with formula. Eventually she will take it because she will be hungry. Do you have a pediatrician? Whereabouts in the UAE are you?

These are definitely economic migrants. The people who are really suffering would not have the money to pay smugglers.

Firstly, can't you just use the seeds from supermarket tomatoes? Secondly, almost all supermarkets here sell vegetable seeds. You don't need to go to the DGC.

I try to get my school-age children upstairs at 7:30 and lights out at 7:45. They usually don't fall asleep until 8:15 and I wake them up at 6:25. My 8 year old usually goes to sleep around 9. I let her use her IPad in bed after her siblings have fallen asleep.

The first week back at school went really well for my three school-age children.

WU is not bad for sending money to third-world countries. I use it frequently and I have a loyalty card. Very often, I get free transfers. However, if you want to send money to a Western country, forget about it! They charge a percentage of the money you are sending and it is really expensive. It is better to wire to a bank account.

It's very possible that 7 Days took the post from here and reposted it. Most of their letters to the editor don't seem genuine so I wouldn't be surprised if they got this one from EW.

In all honesty do you have any idea how difficult and stressful it can be for some people to give up I tried when I wasn't pregnant and struggled. I would have hated to have tried while I was pregnant. Lots of people manage to quit smoking. I know many of them. Where there's a will, there's a way....

I couldn't be friends with such a reckless person. Judgmental much? If that is judgmental, then good. Fortunately, I am an adult and can choose who my friends are....

Yes, I agree. But you should still try to call the airline and see if they can reschedule. You never know!

I also see this on FB groups, mostly western women that are complaining about how other western women dress ???. Well yes, because you are reading English language groups. I wonder what the Arabic language groups are saying!

I would go right now and change the Wifi password and not give her the new one. If she wants to write this stuff, let her pay for it with a package from Etisalat.

Yes, I agree. Go to the police. It is illegal to post pictures of people without their consent here. These children need to see some consequences for their actions!

The closest malls to Mamzar are the Century Mall and the Sahara Mall in Sharjah. There is a movie theater at the Sahara Mall. There is not much nightlife in that area. For that, you will probably need to look at hotels which have nightclubs.

There are two. A three year-old may be too short for the IKEA one. The first one is on the ground floor near the Dubai London Clinic. The second one is close to Papa John's.

Why don't you help her find another family? Then she doesn't have to leave the country. You would just need to do a visa transfer.

The Home Center is currently selling a digital clock that isn't fast, a rare find in the UAE! It is for 59 dirhams. I am going to buy a few. They have gone years without selling any digital clocks so I was pleased to find them for sale there this past week.

Hello. I know that this is a really weird question to ask but I don't know where else to ask. I have been buying different brands of whipped cream (in the aerosol bottle) weekly for over a month now. They always work in the beginning then they just turn to liquid cream after the first few uses. When I shake the bottle, I can feel that there is still a lot left. It still tastes good but I can't use it anymore once it's liquid because my children like it on sundaes. Does anyone know why this is happening?

I suppose it depends on the individual company. In my case, my DH's company pays the school fees from FS 1 but FS 1 must be done in a school and not a nursery.

Hi! I felt like responding even though I don't have any advice for you. I just wanted to discuss curly hair. There are different types of curly. Mine is more of a soft curl that falls downwards. My hair is fine. Why do you bother getting it cut other than just the edges? Curly hair looks nice when it is natural and long. I wear a headscarf and I notice that my curls look so much better if I put the headscarf on when my hair is slightly dry. I go out for an hour in the morning and then take the headscarf off. My curls just fall down rather than sticking out because they were pressed for an hour. I don't use any products. Like you, I am fed up with the flat iron. It is all good when you are in your 20s but once you hit mid 30s, you realize that you can't go on like this anymore. I rarely straighten anymore.

I did it in Taiwan in 2001. It was very cheap but I can't remember the price. I have no regrets! I have had perfect vision since then.
