I don't know how any concept like that could ever be universally accepted. It is way too complex and the universe is constantly changing.

I have a housemaid for two main reasons: cooking and babysitting. I am a horrible cook and I don't want my kids or DH eating instant meals every night so it is nice to have someone who can cook and who likes to cook. I rarely use my housemaid for babysitting, but it is nice to know that I have someone there when I may need it. I have no one else to rely on so I believe the housemaid's role is important in my home.

To answer your question: Those kinds of people go to the movies because they have nothing better to do and money to spend.

AmyAus82, I have called around and it seems I need to go to Al Baraha to the Preventative Medicine Department. I need to take passports and copies, marriage certificate and the discharge note from the hospital - which of course I need to get replaced as DH has given it to the insurance! I also need the family book, but we don't have our own one yet, so I hope that is not an issue, I do however have a copy of his fathers one. What is DNRD by the way?

If he only said it once, I would leave it. If he is repeatedly saying it to your DD, then that is tantamount to bullying and I think it would be better for the teacher to be informed than for your DD to take him on herself.

Foreigners can go to public schools here, but they have to be prepared to learn in Arabic. Also, as the UAE is not a secular country, Islamic education would be a standard part of the curriculum. Al Mawakeb is a private school. <em>edited by AnonDubai on 21/09/2011</em>

IMHO, he doesn't need to go to the doctor for that, unless he is an infant. Just keep giving him fluids and he should be ok, but how old is he?

that's true, the trouble is getting DH to pay that much. He can be a bit thrifty at times. Woah! If he's too cheap to buy a pregnancy test, wait until he sees the price of Pampers once your LO arrives (inshallah)! :)

my issue is I'd rather have the stick ones than the pee in a cup ones. I have trouble going in a cup kinda... @ Anon, it's like that in the states too, they seem to be stolen quite often there too! Why don't you just go spend 45 dirhams? It's worth your peace of mind.

And if you buy one from a hypermarket, make sure that there is actually a pregnancy test in the box. These have a tendency to be stolen. Lol! Seriously? Yes.

Thanks Anon! do you know if they're very good ones? They are reliable, but messier than the more expensive ones. You actually have to pee in a cup and pour it into the thingie rather than just peeing on the stick. But the result is the same in the end!!

The burninq question: was she an expatwoman or a local? lol And why would that make any difference? In my own experience it's nearly always an ex pat. You might get flicked a finger by a local but they'd rarely scream at us. Sadly SOME EP's turn funny when they get here. I think it has something to do with having maids & 4X4's. They seem to turn into proper little madams. It makes no difference. I'm just curious!

In my experience, they don't fast track passengers arriving in the USA with babies. I was fast-tracked through passport control at JFK years ago. No babies, but 25kgs lighter and slightly better looking than I am now! :D And the passport control guy proceeded to offer his services as a tour guide... :). edited by DubaiCat on 19/09/2011 ok, so OP, if you're good-looking, you'll be all set, wherever you go... :)

To be very honest Mrs Orchid, you'll get fast tracked through passport control etc anyway when you are travelling with a baby. There are strollers that you can borrow to get from the plane to the terminal where you can collect your own at the baggage carousel. What exactly is it that is worrying you? Perhaps we can help to allay your fears.... In my experience, they don't fast track passengers arriving in the USA with babies.

I have little sympathy for parents that don't follow the car parking rules. A little boy was seriously hurt last year at DIA due to a parent that couldn't be ***** to go find a park like everyone else and decided to stop their fat 4x4 in front of the gate. One of the kids flung the door wide open and hit a boy and his Mum as they were crossing ( whre they were supposed to be crossing). I saw someone do it again today and I honked my horn for 5 seconds as I passed to shame her. Obviously, if you are new and there are no signs, what you did can't be avoided and you couldnt have know - But there are still loads of parents who just dont give a sh*t edited by derien on 19/09/2011 Yes, this is very true, Derien. Anyway, JShepherd, think of the positive. If this mother hadn't yelled at you, you might never have known the right entrance! A lot of schools don't enforce the parking lot rules to the parents so how else could you have known?

Minimum salary for maids in UAE •Filipina……………………Dh1,400 •Indian………………………Dh1,100 •Sri Lankan…………………Dh825 •Indonesian………………Dh800 •Bangladeshi…………………Dh750 The blatant racism in this country is unbelievable. I can’t believe there are different salaries based on where you come from for the same job. Yes, I agree. All Western expats should make the same as Phillipino expats. These are human rights, after all!!! For the same job most certainly. Why on earth wouldnt it ? Yes, you are 100% correct. A British man should be happy to leave the UK for 2000 dirhams a month... What are you talking about? Let me spell it out for you...... If you are applying for a cleaning job advertised in the paper, the wage should be the same for any nationality. After the interview it’s up to the employer’s discretion to pay above the salary stated if the applicant has experience in said job. It should be the same in any job, experience over nationality. Yes, I agree with you. [b'>They need to do it here like in the UK[/b'>!! Not just the UK, the rest of the modern world !!!!!!! Yes, they also need to introduce income tax like the rest of the modern world. Everyone here should be paying income tax, including maids...

If you have 2 pilots piloting 2 777s, shouldnt they be paid the same in the same company / and provided they haev equal years of experience ? But I won't be able to go to my Friday brunch anymore if my DH's salary is only 2000 dirhams a month! And then I'd have to give up my SUV and take the bus!!
