Uff so many Daza...financial predominately. i work for a great company and do well....so does my husband and we do have some savings etc - but i guess I'm just terrified of the future - things going wrong etc, not being able to give our child/future kids everything....recessions etc Losing my identity....regretting it after a few months....etc etc I worry about things going wrong as well but I decided that I wanted to be to be the one home with my children and I couldn't not do that on the basis of 'what if'. Your identity does change but the new parts of it can be just as good. It's quite hard to put in to words but for me I feel like the contribution that I make to our family by staying at home is more valuable to our family than the financial one I would be making if I worked outside of the home. I hope that makes sense!

Nope, not at all even though I loved my job. Found the first few month really really hard and desperately wanted to go back to work but that was due to struggling with a new baby rather than anything else. That was nearly nine years ago, I've kept myself busy since by keeping having babies :) What are your fears mols?

Poor you, you must be feeling awful. Everyone is different but I would say in this heat and when you are pregnant 1 ltr of water isn't very much. Try making it 2 ltr minimum. Exercise will also help a lot. Can you get out walking in the morning or evening when there is no sun and it's cooler? Or a gentle speed on a treadmill if you have access to a gym. Or swimming? A high fiber breakfast could also help. I make my own with oats, ground flaxseed, mixed seeds and nuts.

"Any children born outside the country to at least one parent with Scottish citizenship will also be considered Scottish citizens. Births must be registered in Scotland for that citizenship to take effect." Nearly had a heart attack when I read this! But reading on I'm pretty sure my birth wasn't registered in Scotland. There are just so many unanswered question and they are BIG questions, not small inconsequential ones. It must be awful for you Scots living abroad that have no say in the vote but will have to deal with the consequences of that vote. Really unfair :(

Me and my husband are both fuming too, if there was an issue she should have told me personally , whereas all throughout she said he was doing just fine. These things happen but if it happened just that one day, it shouldn't have come to me a complaint that too in the school diary. Also my son was not well yesterday he came home with a very bad cough and running nose and maybe he was falling sick wen at school and he was restless and unwell and dint listen to her then. He is very young and a young child of not well may not always be able to explain how they feel.. I would have appreciated if she would have had a word with me directly rather than sending that horrible note back home... As a mother I am angry and worried.... Maybe she didn't deal with it ideally or in the way you would have liked her too but take a deep breath and don't let it jeopardise your relationship with her for the next school year. You want her to tell you things personally so why don't you just speak to her, good communication is a two way street. For some things I would immediately go to the HOD and in wickedangels situation her child being referred to as horrible is pretty bad but in all honesty JheaG, what has happened with your son doesn't sound that bad. I'm a mother too and I totally get being angry and worried and wanting the world to see your child through your eyes but I do think you are over reacting, sorry.

If business is an option, take it. I find flying when pregnant much more uncomfortable than when when not pregnant, the extra space in business would really help. Take a small carry on with toys, snacks etc for your daughter and keep it with you rather than putting it in the overhead locker, it will save you having to stretch up to get things. Same goes if you have a nappy bag. Also, bear in mind that if you are going to have to lift your checked in baggage it's better to have two lighter bags rather than one heavy one. If nausea is a problem for you take food for yourself, plane food generally makes me feel queasy when pregnant.

Hi there, I can't help with the toddler part but I did a bit of flying when I was pregnant. I was recommended to take aspirin for 3 days leading up to each flight and the 3 days after arrival. I was also advised to wear thigh high compression stockings, walk around as much as possible and to drink a lot of water. The flight attendants should know to keep you well stocked with water but depending on how busy the flight is you may have to remind them. Hope it all goes well... OP, I'd advise against aspirin unless a good doctor has cleared you take it for a specific reason. http://www.babycenter.com/404_is-it-safe-to-take-aspirin-during-pregnancy_1357403.bc

It's not in either of my Edmonds! They are 1998 editions. I can't believe Edmonds has left the recipe out of some editions, it's an absolute kiwi classic. It's as much of a travesty as rice bubble square not being included.

I agree, this "offense" is ignorant and nothing but a gross misunderstanding of Islam. Alcohol consumption is also haram but I don't see that word beeped out anywhere. There are many other things about Lady Gaga and her music besides a mask that could be considered unislamic but I don't see concert go'ers complaining about that. Do you listen to the radio? Alcohol related words are not allowed, hence the referrals to grape and hop beverages. I've heard the beer in beer garden beeped out. This is not my country and I am not a Muslim so I'm in no position to tell anyone what is and isn't offensive. However, in a country where the word p0rk is bleeped out on local TV, regardless if whether I think it is warranted or not I wouldn't have performed what Gaga did.

Id be surprised if anyone went to see Gaga and was going to be offended by that - she is a brand, and that brand as it is was brought here and tickets were bought to invest frther in that brand, in its entirety. Anyone who was going to be offended need be angry at themselves for investing in the contitaiton of a brand that does that. Calling a person a swine is in line with things though as it is not saying how cool it is to be a swine, it is saying how filthy it is. So, sorta went with the beliefs in an extravagant Gaga way. Judging from the crowd reaction there were quite number of people offended. It made a bit of a mockery of what she said before the concert.... “I respect the culture here. The show will be appropriate for all the fans here in Dubai. I was told there were some restrictions. I know some artists are very strict about their policies, that they cannot adhere to their art by compromising, but I actually believe it is important to respect other cultures and not force them to adhere to the beliefs of your own country. In fact, it is a better way to connect with the ­people.

I thought she was great. Her singing was incredible, fun show visually and really good interaction with the crown. Meydan isn't my favourite venue but they had done a pretty good job with the set up. We were in a suite which had a good view although we spent most of the concert in the golden circle as it's always more fun dancing in the crowd :) Thought she ended it really badly though which was totally unnecessary. Singing 'Swine' complete with backing dancers wearing p1g masks projectile vomiting and urging the crowd to make p1ggy noses. So much for respecting the culture.

Arlette since the plane does stop in Australia for around 2 hours for refueling im guessing one will have to stay in the plane for 2 hours? When I've done this flight we had to leave the plane, taking all our hand luggage etc, a couple of hours in the transit lounge then reboarded the same plane. This was a few years ago though. Not sure if it's the same procedure now, or the same for every flight. If you call Emirates they should be able to tell you.

Hi lilypad I've done both trips with children around the same age. My children go to absolute custard after about 10 hours flying so I much prefer the HK or Singapore stop over option. If ending our journey in Australia I'd probably just tough out those last few awful hours but when you have to transit then carry on it's not much fun! If time and flight schedules allow my most preferred option is booking a longer transit 12-15 hours and booking in to the airport hotel to have a good run around, decent sleep and shower. It helps with the jet lag and not arriving in a total state too. I've only done the Singapore transit hotel though, maybe another poster can advise on the HK one. In Singapore there is an outdoor pool which is great.

You really must see a show at the Westend.the children would love it.also for kids..Madam tusauds and the London dungeons.you would live Harrods.Selfridge is nice too.Shopping along Oxford Street is nice.there is a nice rainforest cafe for children in picadilli. The London dungeons seems very scary, do u think a 2 year old can handle it? Is the Harry potter studio tour too far away frm central london? Is it worth? edited by mrssak on 09/09/2014 It's not far, a train for about 20 minutes then a coach for about 10 minutes. You can use your oyster card for the train but not the coach. You can also catch a coach direct from London but I don't know the details sorry. The studio tour is absolutely fabulous. My older children loved it but it would be lost on a two year old. Worth the trip for you if you like Harry Potter though. You need to book in advance online. You have to choose a time slot and they sell out well in advance so book early.

During the start of term cash hemorrhage I can see why my husband only wanted two children! Activities are a lot cheaper where I'm from but salaries are a lot less too so I figure it evens out. Guinness, I wonder why you have to pay so much upfront? A term upfront is normal but it looks like you are getting stung with twenty weeks which is more than a term. I'd question them on it.

At 3.5 and 1.5 my kids loved Battersea Childrens Zoo. Imagine the Sharjah Animal Farm, only with cooler weather and greener, and that's how toddler friendly it is. The surrounding park is also lovely, perhaps half the size of Singapore Zoo lol. You cross the Thames at Knightsbridge, and you've arrived at Battersea. We took buses to get there. Good call Apricot, Battersea Children's Zoo is wonderful with little ones. I'd put it the must do list.

Just as a separate question on this. Are restaurants out here not able to offer smaller portions of adult meals. When my DDs were small they would have something like a bowl of veg when we were out and as they grew I always just asked for a smaller portion of an adult meal.. Never any arguement then regarding juice with a childs meal. I've tried that a few times and it's always been a no go. I gave up asking quite quickly, it's not worth the fifty repeats to four different people to get a no anyway. If only they always all wanted the same thing I could just buy two and split.

Oh poor you, I've just travelled with an 18 month old, I think age 1-2 is the worst! As you say, TV won't help at that age and they have the attention span of a nit. Best you can do is stock up on lots of little toys and prepare yourself for a flight of walking up and down the aisle with him and hoping you aren't near a stairway which you'll need to spend the whole flight dragging him away from while he screams furiously. The good news is your older child is entering the easy flying age and things can only get better :) Shame she's not quite old enough to bribe to entertain her brother ;)

Just to add, for a rainy day the natural history museum is AMAZING. The science museum and V&A are also very very good. There is lots to look at for your daughter and they are free so even if she doesn't last very long in there it's no loss. You can spend all day in them though, so much to see. The have cafeterias with really good food for adults and children.

She's 2 I have a bugaboo bee and a mc Laren but I've heard the mclaren rain cover is awful We will b staying at a hotel in Harrington gardens ..the location seems central I wanted to take the train to Nottingham for the peppa *** park but dnt know if it's worth it. Since she is only two I wouldn't bother travelling too far for anything. She's not going to remember it and it could just as easily be a miserable stressful journey as it could a fun one. Save the effort for when she is old enough to really enjoy things :) What she will probably enjoy most at her age is the parks. There are many wonderful parks with birds on lakes to look at, sticks to pick up, daisies to make chains with wonderful playgrounds to play in. Those are the things that a two year old enjoys, not traipsing here there and everywhere. If you want to go to theme parks etc for you then by all means but I wouldn't bother for her benefit. Only certain underground stations have lifts so it's worth finding out which those ones are. You can also carry the buggy up and down stairs if you are able, someone will always offer to help. The bus network is great, you won't have the hassle of stairs and you can see the sights as you go. I find eating out in London really easy with little ones, they are well catered for. Have fun!

Hi I really recommend [url=http://www.keithnicholl.com/'>Dr Keith Nicholl.[/url'> Try not to worry, babies really do do things at their own pace and they certainly don't all sit and crawl by 7 months. Three of mine crawled at 10 months, one didn't crawl at all. None of them have been keen on tummy time either. They all walked late too, in fact one has only just started walking now at 18 months. People can be so thoughtless with their comments, I know it's hard but try to ignore them. My late crawlers and walkers are now all perfect strong healthy happy active children, I'm sure your son will be fine too.

AH ok I get the juice part. [b'>But at the end of the day it's the parent who has to ensure their kids eat healthy food[/b'>. I have never seen in any place I have been healthy options for kids or any place I have worked ( I worked in the restaurant industry for 8 years) You're right, it is. But as a parent it's frustrating paying a price for meal that includes a juice, not taking the juice and having to pay extra for water. A restaurant shouldn't charge you more for making a healthy choice for your child when it costs them the same (or less) to provide a healthy alternative. It's cheaper in most restaurants to buy a small bottle of local water than it is to buy juice. So why not offer it?

I've actually never had an issue getting water with a kids meal, my son doesn't like orange juice and my daughter sees juice as a treat. I'd notice an up charge and definitely complain if they did that, but haven't seen it. A lot of restaurants offer more than burgers (my kids won't touch them)... They like pasta, and fish. Fast food I've gotten them burger fuel, and they're some type of chicken strips without breading. Ah yes, Burger Fuel, I need to send them an email. It's great that they offer decent hormone free chicken and meat. I love that they have vegan options. They won't let you swap juice for water on a child's meal though.

Me too - huge issue for me! I always ask for water for my kids and some subways will do it - but some are sneaky and just put the extra charge in. It feels very far behind the rest of the world where water and healthy food choices are becoming the norm. To be honest no kids menu is healthy, in any place I have been lol. I understand sodas are not good at all to give to kids, but juice in my opinion is different. I personally think there are much more healthy options with regards to restaurant choices. UAE is not behind, most people are just not interested. No added sugar juices have about as much sugar in them as coke. Slightly less for orange juice, about the same for apple. Don't get me started on those awful 'fruit drink' cartons that often come with child meals, you may as well just let them bury their heads in a vat of sweets. http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/jan/17/how-fruit-juice-health-food-junk-food We've just been in London and water with a child meal is a standard option. It's not here. There were also far more healthy children meals than available here. The assumption that children only like eating fried rubbish really bugs me. <em>edited by Daza on 07/09/2014</em>

Yes, some play areas do. There's one at Ibn Batutta, drop off is from 3 yrs I think. Ikea has a 1 hour free creche at Mirdif City Centre. Also peekaboo at MoE though you pay for a 'babysitter' in addition to the entry. Ikea is at Festival City. Little Explorers at Mirdif City Center has 90 minute drop off workshops - not sure if they also offer longer drop offs.

Thanks so much! Are there any "drop in creches" around? C. Some of the play areas offer a drop off service. From which age and the length of time varies from play area to play area. Favourite Things at Marina Mall is close to you and offers drop off from aged 4 (I think).

thank you! it has only been a week and that's why I am not yet in panic mode lol :) . I am trying to gather information as to what other schools are doing, as this is a new in Dubai school and totally new experience for us too. For example , what is the general approach to assistance in going to the toilet for 3 years old. I am talking about cleaning after a no 2 scenario :) At my children's school on the first day you fill out a form part of which asks if they need assistance when going to the bathroom. If assistance is needed, it is given. Same goes with dressing, eating etc. They encourage independence and ask that children practice at home but they also understand that many children still require assistance at such a young age and they are happy to help.

No wonder you are stressed MMM, moving country is a nightmare :) She clearly has a plan. As long as you fulfill your contractual obligations as her sponsor and are honest with any possible new employers then you don't need to approve of her plan. It's her life, you can't live it for her. This probably sounds uncharitable but I suspect that she is rather enjoying causing a bit of drama and making you jump through hoops. While she is still employed by you and being payed by you it is her job to help you. Get her packing, sorting and cleaning and ignore her games.

I initially went to the dermatologist at the GMC on Beach rd. I get my moles checked every year. There were a couple he decided he didn't like and took them off for biopsy. When it came back as malignant, he referred me over to Dermacare Skin centre on Al Wasl. The Dr there does not mess about. He's very thorough and they do all the mole mapping there as well. Not good when you see someone who is dismissive - you cannot mess about with this. If in doubt, take it off and biopsy it. Thank you for info, will go there. I was quite shocked with the attitude of the doctor I saw, his advice was to use moisteriser on the mole bothering me!
