This is a very general question. As Meagle said, we need more info. The answer could be anything from camping in the Dubai desert to a luxury hotel halfway across the world!! :-)

I am just into my third trimester and have gained almost 10 kilograms. I have not been holding back, though, so that is why I have gained quite a bit. I'll probably gain about 10 kilograms more by the time I deliver. I am not concerned, though. I know that I will lose it all in due time. I have had boy and girl pregnancies and the weight gain was always the same...

Children can be bullied for lots of different reasons. You could move your daughter to a different school and she'd be bullied for something else. You need to address the bullying with the school. Surely it's only a few girls doing this. First see if the school responds satisfactorily to your issues.

Report it to the police - we had one of these 'fools' on the phone for 30 minutes and recorded the entire thing - hilarious. Forwarded onto the authorities. Do the police really care about these small town scammers? Yes, they take it very seriously. It's not small time at all - it's a huge scam gig. You can hear loads of them in the background. Yes, I have heard it before. It sounds like they are calling from a place with many cubicles. They usually speak really bad English too...

From my understanding, it does not work that way. When you go to the government clinic, you have to see a GP first. If a pediatrician is required, then you will either get a referral to Latifa if a specialist pediatrician is required, or a referral to see a pediatrician at the same clinic on the days that they come. I think that in both of these cases, it would be difficult to choose a specific pediatrician. However, I don't think that it is impossible.

I took my DD out for a walk on the beach when she was less than 48 hours old. I did that because my eldest child needed some time outside. IMHO, your son's schooling should not be interrupted because of a new baby. If you really can't do the school run, then he should take the bus...

I find it a little amusing that the issue is whether the defendant said F- Off or F- You rather than focusing on the F word itself. Could it be because one means "go away" and the other technically means something that cannot be mentioned on this forum? The latter would be a huge insult to a Muslim man...

We have to respect and abide by the laws of the country we choose to reside in whether we agree with them or not... That goes for any immigrant in any country... Ummmm.. I have seen enough of those flouting the laws by Harrods etc (and well known from whence they came) - one rule for others as so to speak..... Those people need to be dealt with individually. Not all immigrants or tourists flout laws. If the police in the UK choose to be corrupt and not prosecute due to someone's social status, that is the UK's problem... Many people here and in the UK will do as much as they can get away with.... Same as US Yes, that is true. Many wealthy and influential people get away with many things in the USA. I can think of many examples, even on a small-town level. Life is not fair. The little people still need to abide by the law...

Emiratis can sponsor the parents of their non-Emirati wife without the need for a load of documents. It is usually easier to make a residence visa and then cancel it when the parent is leaving, unless they will be returning within 6 months. It may be cheaper too. Plus they can then apply for a drivers license etc as a resident. Hi BC! Do you know where to go to start this process? If I don't give DH a clear answer, he will end up doing visa runs, which I really don't want them doing...

I have taken my maid to the Rashidiya Al Noor Polyclinic. It is clean and affordable and I'd go there myself if I needed to. It sounds like she needs antibiotics and most likely a tooth removed. If it has already gotten to the stage where her mouth is swollen, then the tooth may not be salvageable. Did the dentist tell you why he only cleaned her teeth and nothing else? What were the results of the x-ray? Your experience at this clinic sounds strange.

No, I don't think so. Basically, my mother wants to come here on vacation for 3.5 months. She doesn't need a visa to come because she is American but she is only allowed to stay for 30 days, I believe. I don't think we will have the time to do several visa runs so I am just wondering if there is a type of visa for her. She is only coming here for vacation and not to live...

I still think that it was a mistake to put schools and maids onto their own boards. I loved those threads, but they don't get any traffic now. EW created separate forums for those topics due to the demand of EW posters. A few years ago, so many users were getting annoyed by all the maid and school topics so it was suggested that they have their own forum. Personally, the maids forum is not very interesting. It looks more like a classifieds section than a forum...

I was also reading that most Lebanese in Australia are Catholic rather than Muslim. Especially ones who have been there for generations.... So where does this disturbing crime of raping women for not covering originate, then? A tiny Lebanese Muslim extremist minority? I'm shocked to read about these rapes carried out by Lebanese men, as some of my best friends are Lebanese (!), albeit mostly Catholic, and that behaviour certainly doesn't jibe with my experience of Lebanese culture. First thank you for the great encouragement you showed earlier. Second, I am really shocked about this idea. People with around 72 different religions live in Lebanon! while half the population are Muslims (with different sections) where the rape rates in Lebanon is very low and the dress code is completely not an issue. UAE has a more strict dress code than Lebanon. I don't know how did Lebanese people ended up with such an image or behavior between Australians. BTW: most muslims in Lebanon Do not wear Burqa, and Abayas are not popular. There are people of 72 different religions living in Lebanon?
