The epidural isn't covered by some insurance companies; it's 2500 or 3000 aed. Also, if they give you any extra creams or medicines. If you want, they give you MEBO cream, tell them you don't need it. You can take mine, I never used it. The nurse opened it for me so I had to pay for it later but I didn't need it. They also give you a laxative, I have a couple of bottles of those too that were barely used. They start giving you Meds as soon as you come into the room, so it's best that you take in these things before you go and have them use those instead of new ones and charging you for them. edited by Chi2dxb on 26/01/2013 <em>edited by Chi2dxb on 26/01/2013</em>

Not an electrician, but wouldn't rain short out the washing machine? All I can think of is all those fires ... probably started by hair-brained ideas like this! Do you really need a dishwasher if you're apartment is so small? The rain that comes once a year? And you can run a dishwasher every few days when it fills up, it's to save water more than the convenience of it.

Do you really need a dishwasher if you're apartment is so small? it was sheltered from the elements which is why I said it wasn't like a proper balcony but you could keep the machine covered when not in use... (and if it's raining I doubt you'd be doing your washing anyway !! lol) How was it connected and hooked up?

We were looking to drive from Qatar to UAE a few years ago, which includes having to drive through KSA. We were speaking to an agent who was going to arrange our transit visas through KSA and he advised that we could only do it in our own car -- we couldn't take a rental car across the border. Worth checking with the rental agencies if that's even an option. thanks! i wonder if he would be able to take our car? even tho under UAE rules, he's not a "first degree blood relative" of my husband, whose name the car is under. <em>edited by Chi2dxb on 23/01/2013</em>

Whether I stay or go, I can't imagine it would be appropriate to tell the kids about his cheating. Maybe when they're adults. Everyone says, "they figure it out," but we have become the best of actors, plus dh has never been very involved with them anyway. I think they'd be happier the way things are than in a broken family. My biggest fear is over the youngest, the only boy, 9.5. DH has always been blatant about favoring him, and I can't see him letting me have full custody. Also, if I leave him, I think his ego would make him go crazy; he couldn't stand being the bad guy. His family who would greatly disapprove of his shenanigans; losing face with them would make him nasty, I know. I don't want my kids to have to be interviewed by the court and asked which parent they want to live with. I don't want them to have to go visit when they don't want to. I don't want them to wonder when they will see their dad again. I don't want to have to think about keeping passports safe so he doesn't take them back to his country or this one. On and on. The picture I see is uglier than the one we're in now. I think the way that you and your husband will be with each other, if you stay together or if you keep it in and hope it ends, your children will not be happy cuz you won't be. And if you are worried about custody, def go back home with all your evidence. Do not be concerned about his ego and what his family will think of him! He dug his grave...

How could he turn on you anyway? He's the one that's cheating AND it's illegal here. You're not stupid for thinking of your kids first, it's actually pretty normal. I think once you're back in your home country, you should settle the kids in their schools, look for a job, and then confront him with your evidence. You'll both have time to think about it; you can decide to work through it, and if he wants to make it difficult, you can take it to the courts there but at least you'll be in a familiar territory. edited by Chi2dxb on 20/01/2013 <em>edited by Chi2dxb on 21/01/2013</em>

I just recommended Azur Spa on another thread. They bring everything, are hygienic, and professional. Their minimum is 400 aed. A few times, I've only needed one or two things done and it doesn't meet their minimum so I call up my friend and if she needs anything done, she pops over! Just let them know how many people and what you'll be doing so they can plan accordingly as well.

I'm sorry to hear what you're going through. It must be difficult not bring it up to him, but because this is not your home country, and the "what-ifs" are one and many, I would hold it in a little longer and wait till you're out of here to confront him. Mainly because of the children and you don't know how he's going to react to your knowing. Despite your situation, you're smart for doing your homework and figuring everything out in case the need arises. You can also keep building your "evidence" folder, since you know, it'll probably help you a lot if you run into a custody battle. As for tipping off the mistress, I don't know what good it would do. Even if she backs off, would you want to stay with your husband? Could you stay with your husband? And if she stays with him, then that'll just open a whole can of worms that you definitely don't need on your plate.

it's american english In English; shrimps are the tiny things that are precooked. IN American - Shrimps are what are properly ;) refereed to as Prawns; ie the raw larger things,. Maybe it's just me...but I thought "shrimp" was already plural. Never heard shrimp(s) until I moved here. :) Appears that's a new flavor of the macaroons at a shop in Dubai Mall. WTH I say shrimp too. I'd never heard of "maths" until I moved here either.

Choithrams and most other supermarkets sell raw shrimps / prawns (prawns UK, shrimps US) - ask for them to be cleaned and de-veined so that they take all the shells off for you (it is sooo fiddly doing it yourself) - I ask them to do it then go shop for 10 mins then come back and it's all done! I would not use frozen cooked shrimps as I don't trust the freezing temperatures here (you don't want to eat a bad one!) and also they are really tough when cooked as they've already been cooked. Good luck! Thanks, will get the fresh ones!! Maybe I'll have you guys try out the dish next week ;)

My question was more about a comparison between Top Dubai schools vs a western education. Is it widely believed by expats that the education in Dubai is inferior? So people are choosing to return to their home country for their kids to go to high school? I don't live in Dubai yet, so I am not saying this is my opinion. I'm just asking the question to those that already live in Dubai. edited by Travel5 on 16/01/2013 It is inferior in regards to the quality of education that you are receiving for what you're paying. Students of all ages need a lot of hands on experiences and should be able to go out into the real world and see examples of what they're learning. That is something that is hard to do here as the museums and libraries aren't exactly up to par. Just an example, in my high school AP Biology class, we were learning about the respiratory system and how it works and my teacher brought in a pair of cow lungs *real*! and a huge vacuum and we were able to see how the lungs function by making them "breathe" and how long the process takes because they're so large. These learning experiences make you more considerate and aware of animals and humans and their differences. I don't think that would be possible here. If I was back home and I was paying the "dubai fees", I would expect nothing less than perfection from my child's schools. But here, a lot of the teachers are same position as us: couldn't get a job back home, aren't completely licensed to teach in their state, have loans/debts they're running from, want to save with a "tax-free salary", want to relax and enjoy for a few years before going back home. From my experience in working in schools here, it is definitely not the same and a lot of the teachers weren't that serious about their jobs and didn't have the same level of compassion for their students as much as I've seen back home. The experience that you get from meeting people from all over the world here isn't worth the level of education that you're getting in return. I was blessed to travel a lot growing up with my parents and I don't have any more experience of "multi-culturalism" from living here than I do from speaking Spanish to the local boutique owners in Spain, to making pizza with the bakers in Italy, or sewing on a sequin with a seamstress in Pakistan, even if it was just for an hour or less. Sorry for rambling, in short, Travel 5, I would keep my kids in the Texas school!

it basically comes down to finances. Is 4700$ a month enough for a family of three including rent, food, baby expenses, car loan, petrol, some allowance for me as a stay at home mum etc etc? That depends on your rent. Use Craigslist to get an idea of rent prices in different cities. The cities I listed below are all good. And that also depends on what kind of car you have and how much your loan is. Are you driving a Camry or a Rolls Royce? ;) And it alsooo depends on how much you want your "allowance" to be. haha Food will not be a lot. You can get way more than enough for $100-$200 a week or two easily. How you feel is subjective, but with a good paying job (100k), I don't think it'll be hard.

The ones whose lives are predominantly Indian - food, culture, lifestyles- are having a far tougher time. Indian produce in the US is expensive and not that readily available. If you don't have family/friends nearby, celebrating festivals, traditions becomes more difficult. I don't agree with either of these things. There are Indian markets and huge areas dedicated to just them in the cities that I've had experience in: Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Dallas, New York, Northern Virginia, Baltimore, Atlanta, Tampa, Orlando. In fact, I've found things there that I havent found here. And it's not just Indian, it's easier to find all things there than here! ;) Also, with regards to festivals and holidays, I haven't met one person who hasn't been accepting of different cultures. You may find it easier to celebrate holidays as there are probably way more temples or mandirs around where you can meet a lot of people! <em>edited by Chi2dxb on 13/01/2013</em>

Leenavaz, coming from a Pakistani background I can understand how you think it would be hard without the "cheap labor" and people do find it a struggle in the beginning but I can assure you, you'll have a much more easygoing lifestyle and it will be better for the kid(s). Being born and raised there, I'm actually proud to say that we don't have "help" in the house as much as other countries because everyone has to be paid a minimum wage and everyone deserves the same quality of life, regardless of your nationality, and based on your experience. But you have to decide what's more important. I would choose the U.S. In. A. New. York. Minute! Beebers, you're right. I forgot to mention the suburbs are def more affordable than the city of Chi. Naperville, wuddup! ;) My husband's job is the reason we're looking to go back ASAP. There's nothing holding is back here but we have yet to make the move. Fingers crosses it happens soon. I wish I was in your position Leenavaz. The subject of this post would then read, "Relocatin to America!!!!!" <em>edited by Chi2dxb on 13/01/2013</em>

With a 100k salary, you could def afford a nanny and get cleaners to come once a week. I am biased towards Chicago, but Texas is nice and very affordable. Once you go on the east or west coasts, it becomes more expensive. I would give anything to move back, especially since I have two little ones and yearn for them to grow up with their cousins, have parks all around, sidewalks to bike ride etc,. Kids entertainment is plentiful and either free or very cheap in Chicago. Even shopping for clothes and grocery is more affordable than here. I wouldn't worry about not finding help, you will def be able to afford it. There's a lot of legitimate sites and agencies that can help you find nannies, baby sitters and maids.

From arabian ranches, go on emirates road towards Sharjah. When you see the 66-Al Ain exit, go in that lane, but continue going parallel to emirates towards Sharjah (you'll just be on the other side of the barrier wall). Take the first right into silicon oasis, when you get to the roundabout, which is right in front of the "pineapple building", take a left. Then there'll be a little street, which is the first right, take that. Keep goin straight, past the cedre villas complex and when you get to the "main road" the building will be on your right at the corner. There's al shorafa restaurant and desco in that building. If you search for the music box on google maps, it'll come up.

I've been to Cancun a few times, the most recent was in 2009 on my honeymoon. Every time we've gone, it's been in December or January so the weather is perfect. I love how affordable it is to be in an all inclusive resort. We were there for a week and did all the regular water sports at the hotel on the beach: jet skiing, parasailing, etc. We went to the ruins: chichen itza and tulum, that took a whole day, if you're going in the summer, make sure you wear very light clothing and take a lot of water with you. We also went to this waterpark which had an underground paddle boat ride, zip lining across the park and a few other things with lunch included in the ticket. We also took a boat ride up to Isla Mujeres where there was a sister hotel of the place we were staying at, did swimming with the dolphins there. There was even a couple of days where we just lounged poolside and did a few spa treatments. Every time we go, we stay at the Palace resorts. The Beach palace is the best location and most family friendly. If you dare to venture into the downtown cancun area, it's quite lively, lots of restaurants and gift shops. I would go in the early evening though, as at night the clubs open up and lots of people walking around who know you're tourists and it can be kind of intimidating. All in all, it's a great family friendly place, especially if you stay on the "strip". All the hotels can set up your day trips and you can get packages of a few things to do over the week and that'll end up being more cost effective.

They do have a shop in the outlets but the range is not that big or nice. If you become friends with them on Facebook, I believe it's Crocs Middle East, you will get information on any warehouse sales they may be having. We just went to one a month ago at the Ramada. It was huge and I got a tiny pair for the LO, they were too cute. But I've always ordered them from amazon or the Crocs website itself always has sales. On Black Friday, they had a BOGO sale and 25% off. So I stocked up on a few pairs then.
