Why would clothes come across as thoughtless? That is what I would buy in your situation.

When my children were that age, I usually changed their diapers at least once a night. I think that is the key. They tend to pee a lot when they are babies. Nowadays, Pampers suffices but my daughter is now 2.5 years old and doesn't pee much at night. I think you just have to change your baby's diaper at night until he is at least 1.

Hi MO. This question depends on which school you are planning to put your son into. The American, French, and British systems have different starting dates. You do not need to, in any system, put your child into school at the age of 3. That is a personal decision but he probably should be enrolled somewhere by the September where he is 5 years old.

I think you are well within your rights to complain if you can't understand the language that the instructor is speaking to you in! ****** ridiculous! In France you only get spoken to in French, as is the case in many countries. How absurd to demand to be spoken to in a foreign language. France is a special case. In the US, you can take the driving test in Vietnamese, Spanish, French, pretty much any language you request. And that is how it should be in a place that encourages foreigners to move there. That's only the written part, though, isn't it?

Real seasons - cool fresh breezes - walks in woodland - picking wild berries - sitting around a log fire in winter - snow - spring flowers - wildlife - historical buildings - availability of accurate information - ease of communication - good manners- respect for others- a sense of belonging. Nothing that money can buy. Yes, I agree. I don't miss any material things either.

I think that she is guilty. Without knowing all the evidence, a huge sign of guilt to me is that she lied about an innocent man. If she were innocent, why would she feel the need to lie? But I just have a feeling she will be freed...

The nearest metro is, I am assuming, the one at the Deira City Center. Nearby, there are abaya shops, cafeterias, etc. There is a library right next to it. The Abu Hail Center and the Century Mall are also close by but I'd say nothing is in walking distance in this heat.

I really wouldn't be worried about that. I took my three month-old to the deep depths of the northeastern USA in the winter time and she was fine. Just don't keep him outside too long and make sure he is wearing really warm clothes.

Get on the SZR direction Abu Dhabi. Drive past the exit for Dubai Marina. You will see a sign with "Marina Mall" written in brown. Follow that exit and you are there! It's easy to find. <em>edited by AnonDubai on 03/10/2011</em>

It should be a bit chic TBH. The Babyshop will not do in this case. i see what you mean....should i be aware of something that may insult or alienate them, due to cultural differences? No, definitely not. I don't know how close you are to them or what your financial situation is like, but if you can afford it, a pair of Baby Dior shoes or a Burberry sleeper would be perfect, for example. If you're not that close to them, then just get the mother a box of chocolates, but make sure they don't have liquor in them.

We lived in Satwa ten years ago and sadly this was happening then. It is not really surprising that this is happening when some kids are brought up to treat maids etc like their lives are worth nothing, so there really is no hope for the animals is there? Until there is respect for humans, there will be no respect for animals. Thinking about Mickey and hoping for a fast recovery. xx Let's not bring the maid culture into this. My dog was shot many years ago in the "civilized" USA and there is not a maid in sight where I come from...

IMO, don't start giving your toddler juice. Just give him/her water and milk. edited by AnonDubai on 02/10/2011 it's not poison, though - we're talking juice here, as in fruit juice, not "squash" which is full of gunk? I don't think juice is bad. Of course her child can still drink it. I just don't think it's good to make a habit out of it. That is only my opinion.

there is a good camera repair shop in the top floor of the jumeirah centre on beach road ( the one sort of attached to the magrudies little centre if that makes sense - sort of opposite the village mall. They do all cameras and are very knowledgable. I second this shop, really helpful and their motto is 'if we cant repair it - it's not worth repairing'. 043490971. Sounds great! Thanks for the recommendation!

E-Life is great but before you can even think of getting it, you have to find out if they have it in your residence. Most apartment buildings have it but I think most villas do not.

That is really horrible. I hope her cat will be ok. This reminds me of an EW poster who posted on her quite a while ago that someone was shooting cats in the Springs (I think). She said she was going to sit outside one night and see if she saw anyone suspicious...I wonder what became of that. Does anyone else remember that thread?

Call Al Ameen and tell them you think the car is "suspicious!" Well, the car is kind of suspicious if it hasn't been moved in two days, is parked in someone else's space, and no one can find the owner.

This has happened to me before but the watchman would always know who had parked in my space. If he couldn't reach the person, he would just tell me to park in an empty spot. Because it is the third time, maybe you should leave a note on this person's windshield explaining the situation. Could it be a new tenant who was mistakenly given your space?

@ spongmonkey .. your right!!! I have seen more hookers here then anywhere in the USA !!! even Bangkok. Where are you hanging out? I know that they exist here, but I have never come across one! edited by AnonDubai on 01/10/2011 Well I certainly don't go to clubs but you see them in most hotels in and around the foyers and as someone else said they are sometimes in abayas. You come across them in lifts in /around JBR. There are masses of them in the various Tecom hotels too. Maybe that is why I don't see them. I have never stayed in a hotel in Dubai and I avoid JBR.
