I mean waiting with no phone, no iPad just nothing but wait...this generation doesn't know what it is to just wait and be bored waiting. You are totally right about that. There is never a moment where I wait idly. Thank you 3 G.

Surprised that no one has suggested the ipad solution for the teeny baby !! So many little children out there learning life from an ipad instead of looking out at people from their buggy! Yes, just today I handed my baby my telephone to play with when he started grizzling in his stroller. He likes to touch it and make things move around. It held off the restlessness for a while.

Its in the back, in the outside bit, if you tell them how many bags you need they will bring it to your car etc, when we got our trees etc they delivered all our soil and plants 45 mins later. Are you planting veggies? :) Not yet, but I need soil for some basic planting... Thank you, Purple.

Why are Indian school fees always lower than the rest? Dont they pay their teachers? I don't know about the facilities, but I think that Indian teachers are paid a lot less than British teachers. The class size in most Indian schools is typically a lot higher too. I have to wonder. Does anyone know the typical class size in an Indian school?

I'd be curious to know if there has ever been a single incidence where a family was fined for hiring a teen to watch the children for a few hours or a teenager fined/deported/etc for babysitting. There probably has never been one, but as I wrote below, it doesn't really matter until things go wrong. But I suppose if things go wrong, you would have much more to worry about than a 50,000 dirham fine...

I'd still like to understand why there is no word for "bullying" in the French language - does this mean that bullying does not exist in French-speaking schools? Recently, work-place bullying has been identified in French-speaking countries, by using the American word, "mobbing" to describe it. Interesting....

My pet peeve is parents who take their children out when they are very, very tired. Has anyone noticed 8 year-olds deep asleep in toddler strollers or children who have fallen asleep on shopping cart handles? Why don't they just leave them at home to take a nap or prioritize their time?

My DS is almost 9 months and I have yet to give him water. I probably will start giving it to him once he shows an interest in it, which I assume will be at least after 12 months old.

I delivered two children there and never had such issues. However, if I were in your situation, I'd also be suspicious and I think it is wise of you to seek a second opinion,

im staying here for the summer as im going back for easter instead and im really looking forward to it . Ramadan is in July this year and I cant wait for the shorter working hours and going to a couple of Iftars too which is always lovely. My sons going to Summer camp for a few weeks so that should keep him entertained and we are looking at a short break during the eid holidays. Im also going to make an effort this year to go to Zaks much earlier and pick up his uniform ! ( I say that every year but it doesnt happen ) The Roads are quiet and I actually dont mind the summer .. Honestly, the best time/life saver is getting uniform at the start of the summe r vacation! Yes, good idea! I got mine in May of last year for the September start. It made things much easier. Don't your children grow at all over the summer? edited by simpleasabc on 03/03/2013 Yes, but not in a drastic way. My kids only appear to be getting taller.

I usually stay for at least one month during the summer vacation. I don't think it's that bad. However, I think it can be difficult for young children here now that Ramadan is during the summer vacation.

Well, this is only my opinion. Take the baby to a pool. I can honestly say that there is nothing for an 11 month-old at Wild Wadi. If you and your DH really want to go to a water park, could you leave the baby at home with a babysitter?

Not really, but if you are doing it for the sake of older children, then why not? I went there with my older children and my son, who was 2 months-old at the time, tagged along. I would say that you will need two adults: one to sit with the baby and one to enjoy the rides and you can alternate roles.

I am in exactly the same boat as you, KiranB. My son is 8 months old and I am breast feeding him. He is my third child. As soon as I stopped breast feeding my other two, the pounds started going away without much effort. Basically, I breastfeed because it is the best thing for my son and I am unselfish in this regard. I tell myself that giving him the best is worth looking heavier for a few years. :-)

I also look around at the " youngsters" running about in their Porsches etc etc and wonder what they do to fund it all. There seems to be a whole class of them all running about in their designer jeans and handbags and big petrol guzzling 4 x 4s scooping up the really expensive imported yogurts in Spinneys. There is no way in this world that all these young husbands are earning bigtime to that level in the current climate so it must be that people don't save but spend. edited by spongemonkey on 26/02/2013 There are quite a few types that live like that, some on credit, but many on hard cold cash as well. Some acually have the cash to do so, but some coming from some particular countries are simply spending black money earned from bribes, smuggling or other corrupt methods. There is a country whose people are among the poorest in the world. Yet that country has a very rich upper class who mostly got rich by diverting millions of international aid money to their accounts because they were friends or relatives of the President. Some of then owm 20+ properties in Dubai and you can spot them from a mile way; little dress sense, but happily buying 50000 dhs watches using bundles of cash and buying a 300k car every 6 months. Lets see if someone can guess the country :) I can't. Which country is this?
