you can see the best collection art of [url=www.takiwall.com'>Dubai Sticker[/url'>, the best one in town and best qulity style takiwall.com? Is it a good website to shop from? safe? and is the quality good? appreciate your feedback I really don't know, but I'm guessing it's a tacky wall sticker company.

I think the Duggars' main motivation for having a lot of children is their religion.

Thank you Anondubai, do you have Ethiopian maid? No, but I used to have a maid who arrived speaking no English and after a few months, she could understand everything I said.

I hang out with bedou's all the time :D :P In fact, my children are full of local culture :) Hmm... in fact, at the moment, so am I... So are you Anon :D it runs through us right now! :P I don't ever hang with Emiratis, though, and my children are not full of local culture. In fact, the only Emirati I know well is my DH.:) <em>edited by AnonDubai on 12/11/2011</em>

IMHO, Emiratis don't tend to mix with Western expats. However, there are some exceptions as most people on here may know an Emirati or two but I'd be surprised if they were invited into their home.

i am thinking to have Ethiopian Housemaid from Al Ahliya Labour supply but i can not speak arabic only english, and all cv s seems to speak arabic by them. what do you think can we overcome language barriers? Yes, from my experience, I know that it is possible to overcome the language barrier. You must be very patient, speak slowly and use easy words.

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?

Sorry to hijack but I was hoping someone can tell me what the process is to access these clinics for the immunisations? Looked up the website but can't seem to find the information. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks a ton. Firstly, do you have a government health card? No anonDubai. She doesn't have a health card yet. Think my husband has his but I'm pretty sure it has expired - it's from back when you needed it to have a visa stamped. Baby has a passport with a visa stamped in it now. So can I be really troublesome and ask where we go from here? Take your DD's passport copy plus visa copy plus a picture to the Rashid Hospital health card section. This is done immediately. After you have the health card, come back on this thread and let me know and I'll guide you on the next step.

Update ** Update ** Yesterday I see the garbage truck coming so I try and call the maid to get her to go out and ask if they saw it, if they took it? But she is nowhere to be found...until I go out myself to find her already out there asking the man (she must have been waiting and ran as soon as she saw them coming..the poor thing...). Anyway, the garbage man starts apologizing profusely because he is NOT allowed to take such items?? So where is the table base then? He had hidden it behind a bush about 5m away from our bin, but in a public walk way!! So jumping for joy the maid retrieves it from the bushes, garbage man has no idea what is going on because he thinks he is going to get in trouble for not taking it and yet now we are thanking him for doing his job right!!! So next time you whinge about the garbage men not taking an over sized item you want to get rid of ... be grateful!! You can't imagine how relieved I am ... this was REALLY eating me. I said in an earlier post that it wasn't just about the money, but it sure was part of it! We just saved ourselves AED1500!! Maid learnt a valuable lesson, and so did we!! You should report them both. Your maid knew what she was doing, the garbage man would not have taken the item unless the maid asked him to (sell it) , your maid knew all along, she lied to you. edited by Domestic Goddess-in-training on 10/11/2011 I don't get what you're accusing the maid of doing.

However, in my experience at both Umm Suquiem and Safa clinic is that there is always a wait for appointments. Would that mean that the immunizations don't always happen on schedule? In my experience, there is never a wait for appointments and the immunizations happen on schedule. I have gone to the Nad Al Hamar Clinic and the old Rashidiya one.

The care at the government clinics is as good as, if not better than, the care at private hospitals. The biggest advantage of getting vaccinations at the government clinics is that they are free of charge for all residents under the age of 2.

IMO, a carry cot is not essential for a newborn. Again, IMO, a better option is a stroller with a travel system where the car seat can be clipped onto the stroller for easy transfers.

From my understanding, eating pork is haram in Islam but the actual animal is not considered sinful although it is considered filthy. Muslims are instructed not to eat pork but mistreating **** is not allowed.

I think that is pretty normal. Sometimes they go for very long periods (10+ days) without pooping. Then they will poop constantly for several days. I specifically remember my EBF DD doing this at the age of 4 months.

As someone whose DD is in a similar situation as the OP's, I would just go ahead and have her start FS1 next year. If you feel that she is really lagging behind during the school year, then request for her to repeat the year. The school will not like that so you will have to demand it.

Had my first scan today and it's twins! Still quite nervous though as no hbs yet, apparently I ovulated a bit later in the cycle, going back in 10 days to see how things are progressing. It looks as though I'm closer to 5 wks then 6 which might put my dd at 01.07, though shall stick with you ladies for the moment ;-) Congratulations!
