Thank you green-ish for your advices that i will follow strictly. It is getting pretty bad and i don't know how i will handle this situation. I am now quite sure that it comes from my dog, but i will have to make some tests to double check. I already take Zyrtex and my eyes are scratching me all the time.

As I said I will do more research, maybe speak to my local vet and see what they say. Lots of websites seem to say dogs can survive in any climate but some do better than others. Cavaliers aren't banned from travelling on airlines hence why I thought they might be okay. I have had a cocker spaniel before and he was amazing so it won't be a big trauma to get one of those instead of a Cavalier. You should see the local RSPCA website in UK. Full of staffies, never understood why people think its okay to have one of these lovely dogs and give up on them because they can't be *****! Staffies are used here as some sort of status symbol. Horrible I have a ckc who has arrived in dubai one year ago from france. She is fine here. At summer time we take her out less and we do have to pay more atention to her ears and eyes ( this is the fragility of the ckc in any climate).The ckc is happy inside or outside so i honestly don't think that the climate is the biggest problem. What you need to make sure is that you will be able to spend a lot of time with your dog, this breed can nor stay alone too much. Good luck.

Hi, Breteuil, I just wondered if you had managed to find your son an electrical guitar teacher? We have been told there is a good one at Ibn Battuta Mall, but haven't any more details than that! Bonjour, I find it very hard to find someone to teach a 14 years old, the first teacher canceled at the last minute so many times that we had to find someone else, the second one did the same...i have also heard that ibn battuta was good but as you know the french school finishes quite late and he can not go during the week. Please let me know if you find someone who could come home..bon courage !

Thanks for your advices. The idea of putting a ban on someone gives me chicken pots, even if i understand your point of views, even if am am starting to be totally fed up with the problems i am having with maids. The first one had a mental issue and we had to take her back to the airport after one month, she stole a lot of things in our house. This one is becoming more lazy everyday and does pushes the limit much too far. We have to make a decision quickly, knowing that we will leave Dubai for 10 days at christmas. Great !

This post is so close to my heart & life these days. My son is ready to go to university next year and am so torn on where to send him. I know he will gladly study in the UAE but I have been told by so many that unis here are not up to the mark, so am struggling wid what choice to make. Else he will go to the USA or UK. It breaks my heart too..our daughter will study medecine in france next year, because it is the best choice for her future. I am not sure to stay in dubai while she will be away. It is tough to make this kind of decision.

I saw an urologist (not pediatric) for my 13 years old last year at City Hospital. He was really good and professional. Doctor Mohamed. Don't suppose that was to do with wetting? No, it has to do with stone in his kidney. We saw him twice and he was very kind and professional.

I have started with a salary of 2400 and i regret it. I thought that she was going to be satisfyed and it not the case. She told me two days ago that one of her friend, through expatwomen had a job interview and was offered 3000..that most of them have 2 days off and philippino chanels are paid by the "madame" etc...

I met / interviewed a maid recently who was accustomed to a v high salary (3k?!!) plus as part of the 'package' 3 months salary as a bonus at the end of the contract.............. oh right - see you later! GULP My maid repeated me the same story, and i sometimes wonder if they are not saying this kind of things just to get a better salary.

FAO Breteuil, (Sorry to highjack the thread) I have been looking at long distance learning for quite sometime now and have not been able to find the right course, most of my focus having been on the UK Open Uni. Your reply has made me wonder if I might qualify for a French long distance course. Could you tell me what the entry requirements are, and point me in the direction of the right institute? Merci bcp. I am studying through iedparis8, ( you can google it) which means institut d'enseignement a distance de l'universite paris 8. I know the requirements for the french people ( baccalaureat) but not for the other diploma. You can study different courses and the university has a good reputation. If you give me your email i can give you more details.

I have decided 3 years ago to make this change, at the age of 40. Since then, through distance learning i am studing psychology with a French University. You need to be really motivated to do it. We are 5 students in Dubai, the youngest is 32 the oldest 51. Even if it is really tough sometimes to work on your own, with a lack of interaction with the others, it is very interesting. Before staring this long study, you need to be sure that you are ready to study 5/6/7 years to reach your goal. Good luck !

You need to talk to your child who shows signs of anxiety. He seems to think that he can get things by stealing them. Why does he think this way ? He is expressing his various emotions and even if he does it in a wrong way he has a lot of things on his mind that needs to come out. Don't feel guilty because you could not pick him up at school or because you are working. They are many ways to be a good mother, some will work, some will not. You know him better than his teacher or anyone else. A child is a little sponge...if things don't get better, if he starts to repeat the same behavior with you or at school you can take him to a psychologist meanwhile don't be too worried, he is just growing..

Unfortunately they dont have a website.... From the meadows get onto SZR, exit at Al Manara street (I think its exit 42) and head towards beach road. Turn right onto beach road. Pass the Pizza hut, and take a right at the next traffic lights. Its a double storey pink villa on the right hand side. HTH Thank you, it seems easy to find.

Does anybody know if it's possible to employ a driver without needing to sponsor & house them? Where can I find someone? TIA Yes you can. You will still have to pay for the visa, but it will not be under your name. If you don't want him to stay in your house, you will just have to pay for his accomodation. If your office use a regular company of drivers, you can ask them. This is the way we found our driver, you can also check on dubbizle.

Shelly, from where your hotel is located the metro line is really easy and will get you everywhere. A long and straight walk will take you to the Place Vendôme and the Tuileries. Regular buses is also a great way to visit. The weather is terrible right now but it can change very quickly. People walk a lot in Paris, that's probably what i find it so hard to leave in Dubai.

I agree with derien (bien trouvé !) except for Montmartre which i would not put in top of the list , it is really crowded and you will loose a lot of time just to get there. If you can spend one day in Versailles and the beautiful gardens it really worse it. If you go to l'Ile Saint Louis get an ice cream at Bertillon, you will find it easely, there is always a line in front. In Saint Germain, make a stop at "Les deux Magots" , in front of the church and just look at people walking around.. Have a pleasant trip

Not easy at all to stay in Dubai with a 15 years old. I have sent my 3 kids outside of Dubai one week ago because they were getting crazy here. Anyway, before leaving they were going to ski Dubai quite often, some of there friends take diving lessons at Jumeirah/Umm Suqueim, my boy was taking his skate board on the metro to go skating (Rage shop at Dubai Mall). He can go "flying "at Mirdif (quite funny). He can play golf really early in the morning, jet ski, and water ski. If you can, send him somewhere because Dubai is not easy for teenagers but being here at summer time is really hard.

Claire, don't be upset, i had noticed before how much you like Arabian Ranches and you location, but this is your point of view. My husband works in Media City, i work from the house, my super active kids play tennis, golf, run after schools. My little one can go to school on his bike and all his friends are in the Lakes, Spring, Meadows. My 13 years old take the subway at Dubai Marina when he needs to. My life style is not at all near Arabian Ranches, so yes i find it far away and i don't like the access. It is not one location against the other, but on this forum when someone say w"where should i leave in Dubai" the answer is always Arabian Ranches.. Breteuil it's funny how people say that Arabian ranches is far from anywhere. I have found completely the opposite! It's the same 15 minute drive to moe we have the much bigger and better spinneys 5 mins away. There's the golf club and the polo club on the development. We used to live in jumeirah islands and i felt it was handy but having moved to Ar we see so much more of Dubai because everything seems to be 15-30 mins away. We often do a night out at souk al Bahar it was a real hike from Ji to there for a night out. Since the new flyovers have opened and the roundabout has gone Arabian ranches is a fantastic location to get to most places and..... If there's bad traffic you have far more options sheik zayed, al khail, emirates road nd the 611. We have loved our time on Arabian ranches, indian cooking classes, thai cooking, baking demos, book club, cocktails and canapés competitions, dips and drinks, dessert club and that's just what I get up to there plus the nicest group of neighbours for amazing dinner parties and casual sheperds pie in the garden!!!

Emirates Hills is quite nice and house start at 600000. They are the nicest houses in Dubai but no play grounds for the kids. But you can bike around the lakes, and kids meet in the Meadows also. On this forum a lot of people like Arabian Ranches which i find very far away from everything, but it seems to be nice for the kids. Jumeirah is really nice but even with a good allowance it is difficult to find a modern house but you should find a great location. Anyway real estate is really strange here so good luck, it should not be too hard ! I forgot to the golf which is just in front of Emirates Hills (my kids play there, walking distance). It depends you center of interests, i don't find myself driving all the time from this area because my center of interests are in this area ((Golf, Tennis, Running around the lakes). The MOE is a 15 minutes drive and the big Spinneys less than 5. I often go to Dubai Marina which is less than 10 minutes aways. My youngest goes to DIA and has plenty of friends in Meadows, Springs, Lakes. Everything depends of you life style.

I'm sure if you contact them they can give you some advice. There are also plenty other smaller centres that could do with the help, probably needing it more. You could contact Volunteer in Dubai www.volunteerindubai.com and they could help point you in the right direction. I used to do some volunteer work with various special needs centres, here are a few smaller ones you could also contact: SCEA (Safe Centre for Exceptional abilities) SNF Karama Senses Residential Care Home Rashid Pediatric Hope that helps Thank you, it does help me and i will contact them quickly.

Before seeing a neurologist, a few test will have to be made with a psychologist on a cognitive side. When did it start ?, does she ear well ? , when did it happened for the first time ? How is the evolution of her language ? How is the interaction with the others ? How does she read ? etc.. After the results os these tests you will or will not have to book an appointment with a neurologist.

Just listen to her is the best advice i can give you. My brother die of a brain tumor two years ago and the 13 months we spent together were very tough and also full of little miracles. I was there for him on a daily basis and between the xrays, surgery, chimio and his 3 little kids everything was so difficult to handle. My best friend was away at that time but she was sending email, sms, flowers and she also came from NY to be with me at the end. I know what your friend will have to go through and how painful it is, but the worse is after..and this is when you really need your friend.

You know Glot, the problem with this kind of man is that they most of the time pick up sensitive, delicate person with not a great self-esteem. Someone less comprehensive than you, will tell him to go away and will not try to find justification to his attitude. If you fiancé has been raised this way, it will take him a long time and a long therapy to change. Not sure he is ready to accept that his behavior has to be modified. It is the example he has been raised with since he was born by his families and friends. This type of men are really mentally destructive. The more you will stay with him, the more you will loose your self confidence and after it will be too late. Good luck

Hi Anon75, There is no reason for you to wait until you go back to Europe to make a decision. The best way to treat a depression is to work on two sides, one will be with medication and the same time you have to see a good psychologist. With a nice husband and 3 kids, you have a good environment to start. Don't wait until it get worse. And don't feel guilty, to be depressed, it can arrive to all of us.

Hi, my 3 kids are almost the same age than yours (16,13,11) and they have made friends through school. If they play tennis they can join a group of teenagers (the Haya, Supersports). You can also have a look at the Aviation Club. To play golf can be an option, or Kyte surf. If i were you, i will send them to school for the last trimester, teenagers needs to be with others friends. Good luck. We have just arrived from Australia. Our children will not be starting school until August/September (not sure of the actual date for the new school year)....I would like to enrol them in a swimming club. We are living in Silicon Oasis - does anyone know of one? Or any type of class/club where they could meet other children - netball, football, dance? Their ages are 17, 14 & 12. Thanks.

Thank you desert bird for your honesty and clairvoyance. To the ones thinking Dubai if full of perverted men... You give way to much credits to men in Dubai. Perverts are everywhere, and Dubai in not worst or better than other place. It's not all about protection, it's also about education. If your daughter has never been educated to identify an unsafe situation, she will go into it without a doubt, and won't be able to deal with it. It's like this maid a few years ago, who got raped in Al Quoz. Yes, it's horrible. Now. What was she doing alone at 3am in Al Quoz ? She didn't know it could be dangerous for a woman to be alone at that hour... My parents were (and certainly still are) thinking like you : "Keep our DD at home, and only allow her to go somewhere if we drive her" - which meant almost never as they didn't have the time. Ok, choice was very limited as we were living in the countryside and no bus was really available. I am not criticizing their education. They've done the best they thought and they could. They are loving parents, and I can't thank them enough for all they goodness they gave to me. Now, it didn't prevent me from being kidnapped and assaulted - just for the pleasure of hurting my father. If didn't prevent neither my rape from my grand-father's best friend (I was 12), in my grand father's garage, while my grand-mother was upstairs and thinking the man was just showing me the great job he has done during winter, renovating the house. But it prevented me to behave correctly when I went studying, at 18, "at the city". Fortunately, I met a girl who is still one of my best friends. She saw that my case was desperate (ok, I was smiling to every single person -so men too - looking at me in the metro...After all, I was just being polite. As I was just being polite not to react if an older man had his hand in a wrong place - respect to older people comes before my own comfort), and educated me, saving me from very awkward - not to say dangerous - situations. I was completely blind and without her I would have thrown myself into deep problems. (Writing that, reminds me I owe her a lot - all these hours of therapy that I don't have to do !!!) Look at the statistics, a large majority of the assaults of children are done within the familiar/friend circle. Personally, 100% of the persons that I know, who have been assaulted while teenage or childhood, have been by a family member, a close person, or/and inside the premises of their home or family house. And believe me, there are much more women that has lived this than what you think. We can not protect our children 100%, and one day or an other, they will have to go and live their own life. While there is no need to put them to soon in certain situations, it is vital to educate them enough so they are independent adults, knowing in which world they are living. Education takes time...So prepare your teenagers to be confident adults moving around this world with awareness. NB : I have created a new ID.

My 16 years old takes taxi all the time. What i ask her is to call Dubai Taxi and not to take a taxi in the street. She sms when she is in and out. At night she has to be with a friend. She was going to school on her own in Paris at 9 years old, so i find it quite strange to think that because we are in Dubai, she will have to be with me all the time like a little girl that she is not anymore.

I unfortunatly know a lot about brain tumors and how hard it is to accept sometimes that there is no hope. A brain tumor which is badly located can not be operated because the surgery will cause dramatic damage to the kid's brain. If surgeons don't want to operate it also means that they already know what it is on the IRM and others examinations. Which is not a good pronostic. Your friend have to send the IRM (by DHL and very quicly) to a hospital. Necker in Paris in very well known for brain tumors for kids (it has to be a hospital for the kids). If it is obvious (like what you are saying), they will not need to see the kid. Usually neurosurgeons totally understand that you need a second diagnostic. Your friends will need support, affection.

To play tennis in Dubai is quite difficult. you always have to be a member, Aviation Club, Haya etc.. or you need to take lessons to play, which is quite expensive. Some compounds have tennis courts available (for the residents) and that's about it. The new tennis at Al Barsha Park is probably the best option, 75 Dhrs to rent a court for one hour is not bad.

Hi JHM, It should not be difficult for you. You will land at CDG and Air France has buses every 15/20 minutes which will take you to Orly, to take your domestic flight. Orly is easier than CDG. Ask the hostess in the plane, she should be more polite that parisians which are not really helpful... Give me you dates, we might be in the same plane and i will help you !

I have tried all the brands you can find on the market. The one which is fantastic is the brand "NUXE" baume "rêve de miel". You can find it in Dubai in some pharmacy. I buy mine at the Dubai Mall. It is quite expensive but for me it is the only one which works.

I was told that Dr Thomas Peters was now at the Meadows clinic (the one next door to the new petrol station). I've been to see him previously at Nicolas and Asp at the Marina and he was lovely. Hope this helps Thanks. Just to double check i will call again Meadows Clinic, in case i had the wrong info. Meanwhile i have already taken an appointment with Nicolas and asp.

I am sure you will have a wonderful time in Paris. I have raised my 3 kids kids there and found it very easy. With a 6 months old you can visit everything. The metro and the buses are very easy and can get you anywhere. Try to pick up a place near Saint-Germain des Prés, les Tuileries. If you have time you should definitly go to "l'île Saint Louis", Le Louvre, le Grand Palais, Le Trocadéro, le Marais etc...Near Paris try Versailles, it is really fantastic with beautiful garden, try to go there because it is unique. You can take you baby to the jardin des Tuileries, Le Champ de Mars, les jardins de Bagatelle. You have to take a boat on the river "La Seine' for a visit, it is quite romantic. Most of the buildings are too old to be constructed with enough space for the elevators, that is why they are so small.. Bon voyage.

Give her some times. She is probably petrified by the fact that she will have to get in charge of a 18 years old, who is unfortunatly "different", and who is not her son. Her first reaction is quite normal, and it is better for her to think about it now than later. If she is not 100% ready it will be a disaster for her husband, the boy and herself. Your friend does not want to face the reality and she is scared. She needs to be reassure more than anything else. She prefers to put the blame on the ex than on herself. If she welcomes him it has to come from her heart because even with a lot of help, her life is going to change.
