I love the clothes there! Interestingly enough, I was in Germany a few months ago and I went to several Tchibos there and found the Tchibo in Dubai had a much better selection. <em>edited by AnonDubai on 29/11/2011</em>

You will not get a part-time legal Indonesian. The legal part-timers are usually Philippinos, and sometimes Sri Lankans. You're better off biting the bullet and getting a full-time live-in.

I recently looked into private health insurance for maids - it isn't that expensive (AED2000 per year upwards), I am surprised it is not obligatory here or not advertised/sold more agressively at least. CP is right. It would be nice to know about health insurance options for maids.

Hi Purple. There is a place in Al Twar that sells them. It is inside the Emirates Co-Op, not to be confused with the Union Co-Op. Let me know if you want more specific directions.

I wouldn't worry if it's only been one day. Let her recover and then start again once she's feeling better. How old is she? She is 2 years and 8 months. She has been showing readiness which is why I chose this week to do potty training.

I'm not an expert but I'd be surprised by that since it is used to hold the ghurtrah, which many non-GCC men wear, in place. If you notice , you will those non-GCC men who wear the Ghatrah dont wear the Eqal. Some South Asian and Iranian men wear the headress and thobe, but never the actual Eqal. I think its an "unofficial" law. but for children i think it will be ok ! Hmmm. I know I have seen Iraqis and Palestinians wearing aqaals with ghurtrahs...

Of course it's ok! Nothing disrespectful in dressing in cultural wear Well as far as i know its not allowed for a man who is not a GCC Citizen to wear the "Eqal", the black rope used on top of the headress (Ghatra). However it may not be applicable for children, maybe someone better versed may clarify ? I'm not an expert but I'd be surprised by that since it is used to hold the ghurtrah, which many non-GCC men wear, in place. Is this a Dubai law, Arch?

IMO, I don't think you can prepare a child of that age for a new sibling. They are totally unaware. My DD was 18 months-old when her sister was born and her arrival at home was not noticed at all by DD1.

Anon, have you decided where you'll deliver? I went to the clinic today and was informed to take my marriage certificate, my and DHs passports for the ob/gyn appointment when my file would be opened so I can get local cover for the pregnancy (package plus birth). Hi Amy! I am currently going to a private clinic. As soon as my DH goes to the Rashid Hospital to get the exemption for me, I will start going to the government clinic and inshallah I will deliver at Al Wasl in June!

Think iv got a bit of a way to go then! :) When are you due Anon? June 23rd I also have a long way to go. Once I find out the gender, I will get bits and bobs here and there. It is my third and I have gotten rid of all my baby stuff. But I'm much more laid back this time around and will not be buying half as much as I bought for the first two because so much stuff is hardly used!

DAA is a GEMS school and the class sizes are no where near that large. Yes. My DD is also in a GEMS school and the class sizes are not that big. GEMS is a schooling company that provides schools for all different budgets: the less you pay, the bigger the class size. So why am I paying the same as DAA? - just looked it up If the DSO Wellington School has 28 kids in a class, you need to ask them if that is just temporary. If that is the way it's going to be, you should change your child's school if you are paying about 40,000 dirhams a year.

sorry to jump on this thread but how long after having a baby does it take for your periods to return? Obviously i know everyone is different but my DD is 8 months old and ive not even had a hint of a period..... i would be grateful but i cant wait for them to return so i can try for no 2 Mine came back at 9 months and I was exclusively breastfeeding. I then did not get another period for 9 more months.

My gut instinct says they will give a full week. Not scientific, nor informed... just an inkling. Why do you think that they'd give 5 days off for a 2 day holiday that falls on a weekend? If they did, it would explain why they were so adamant that schools not take a full week for EID. Plus they seem to give out holidays here like they are 5 cent candies... so a big thing like a 40th might just warrant it in their eyes. Do they really give out holidays here like 5 cent candies? I was thinking the opposite.
