oh with regards to the flying bit, i strongly suggest a night flight. it will be easier as it is your first flight out with your little one. S I really think it depends on the child (and the parent) with regards to night flights shjbelle! I avoid night flights like the plauge as although my 3 kids are all good sleepers normally, they have never slept well while flying, at any age. I'd much rather be trying to keep my kids entertained/happy during the day when everyone is awake than trying to keep them quiet during the night when everyone is sleeping. The biggest laugh I've had on EW was when a (childless) poster commented about children 'if they are tired, they'll sleep'. Ha! Good luck with everything Kie, it does get easier, honestly. Three months is often a turning point for a baby, I love what SuzyDuzy said about the first three months of a baby's life being the fourth trimester, so very true.

I have DD 5, DS 3 and DS 1 and love it. Yes, it makes the logistics a bit trickier but it's so worth it. I love the way the kids interact with each other and as silly as it might sound, I love the added chaos that a third brings. Yes, there is extra screaming and extra tears but they are far outweighed by the extra laughter and extra fun. Keeping my fingers crossed that we will be lucky enough to add a fourth next year (then I will be done). ETA - I was 33 when I had my third. <em>edited by Daza on 08/08/2011</em>

Lots to do at Mirdif City Centre with kids that age. Up one end is Magic Planet/Little Explorers/Bowling etc. At the other end is Aquaplay. My kids (1, 3 and 5) enjoy all of them. They also love hanging out in the kids corner at Borders, checking out all the outdoor things at Decathlon and playing with the toys at Pottery Barn Kids. Some food court outlets are open for takeaway only but it is fine for kids of that age to eat there, or you can take packed lunches/snacks and eat in the foodcourt. Children's City at Creek Park is good, you'd need to take snacks. There is an kid's art and crafts section with bouncy castle at Sezzam, MOE, where you can all eat in. Modhesh at the Airport Expo is great for that age, they can burn off plenty of energy on the bouncy castles. Not sure if any food outlets are open there. This summer we've also been to Ski Dubai, Pharaohs Club at Wafi for the lazy river and lunch under the trees, Favourite Things at Marina Mall, the Underwater Zoo at Dubai Mall, been on the Monorail and had a walk around Atlantis, and lots of soft play - Dubai Mall food court, Festival City, MOE, Fun City Mercato and no doubt other malls, they start to blur in to one after a while! I always take food for them so never need to worry if anywhere will be open to eat.

As QF said, if your baby has a visa, no exit pass is needed. I've travelled with my small children on my own as have never been asked for a NOC.

That's not good derien, is it possible for them to come home early? You're MIL sounds like she's not being very sensitive to the situation, your kids are (understandably) missing you and she's reacting by trying to have you see/speak to them LESS? Even if your MIL thinks that it's best that you only speak to them once a week I don't really think it's up to her to decide how often you speak to your children. The same as it's not up to her to decide how long your son's hair should be.

Have you tried Children's City at Creek Park? It's a bit different with lots of space to run around. My three little ones enjoy it. I also took them to Pharaoh's Club at Wafi the other morning and we had a fun hour or so floating around the lazy river then lunch in the shade under the trees. I'm always trying to think of options that don't involve a trip to a mall! At the start of the holidays I wrote lots of activities on pieces of paper and put them in an empty tissue box. When we need something to do the kids draw one out and we do it. I find it takes the pressure off always trying to think of something. All the things have to be something you are willing to do at any time though. I wasn't too thrilled when the kids pulled 'Trip on the Monorail and look around Atlantis' out of the box on a morning after a bit of a late one the night before...

Brilliant advice from AdviceSeeker, I completely agree with all the points made. It's hard trying to work out what a decent salary is when you don't live here. I'm sure my family in NZ convert my husband's salary to kiwi dollars and think we must be absolutely rolling in it. The reality is a little different!

Hi NZfamily I think no education allowance is pretty normal. All inclusive packages used to be the norm but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I think a lot depends on what your expectations are. Would you be coming just for the experience or to to save money or both? I think Yorky has given good advice, you need to work out your living costs and see if you can make it work. And yes, schooling is very expensive. Plenty of women work in the Middle East so it would definately be an option. If you can work out how much you are likely to earn then it will help your planning. I'm also from NZ and have three kids, two of them will be at school come September. I would find it very tough to manage on 27000 a month. Good luck with your researching, if you can make it work you could have a great time. I love living here.

That's terrible simpleasabc, what an awful situation to have been put in. Derien, in light of what you said, she made your son to do something that he found very upsetting and that was also obviously against your wishes. Which makes it not really about his hair but about her total lack regard for him, or you. I'd be getting him back immediately if he's not already back and letting her know that she won't be with him again unsupervised until he's old enough to stand up to her.

Daza, she booked to travel w her little one but then family and friends are suggesting that she leave her daughter w Dad and go on her own. (At least that's my understanding.) Thanks for the clarification BFC. Keila, if you originally booked to take you daughter and you want to take your daughter......then take her. You are her mum and although I'm sure your family and friends mean well, only you know what is best for you both. One of the challenges of becoming a parent is learning how to raise your children the way you want to raise them, not how other people think you should. We all do it differently, it's not an exact science and what is right for someone else might not be right for you and vice versa.

My personal opinion would be to only go if: a) You are completely comfortable with leaving your baby. OR b) It's absolutely necessary that you go. You said you are planning on going on your own then you said that you had booked 'our' tickets. Does that mean you've booked to take your baby too? Or just a typo? <em>edited by Daza on 04/08/2011</em>

Hi AussiePup For me, there would be no question. I'd rather downsize or even move areas than live near power lines. I know there is conflicting research about the health risk of living near power lines but it wouldn't feel right for me. There's no way I'd be able to enjoy having bigger house when the cost would be living close to those Al Khail bohemoths. It depends how you feel about power lines really, if you think it will bother you then don't do it. Putting a fence up at a lake front 1E sounds like a good idea, assuming of course the LL would allow it. Good luck with your decision and finding the right place.

Julieanneb, you would be fine going to Mall of the Emirates as there are plenty of dining in options there during the day - Sezzam, Aspen etc. Dubai Mall could also be an option as whilst there are no dine in options open in the mall itself, Ember at The Address Dubai Mall hotel (which is attached to the mall) is open for lunch from 12pm-3.30pm. Fazaris at The Address Downtown Burj Dubai is also open for lunch 12pm-3.30pm. It's not attached to the Mall but is right next to it and a quick walk, even in the heat. There might also be something open at the Armani Hotel in Burj Khalifa. <em>edited by Daza on 04/08/2011</em>

Mine eat in the food court of whatever mall we are in, we always sit at a table that is a bit tucked away. They had their lunch at the MOE first floor food court today. A security man came over halfway through to check (with a smile) that it was only the kids eating.

Hi Jags We live in AR and absolutely love it here. It has a great community feel, really good pools and common areas, a licensed restaurant at the Golf Club (that has a great quiz night!) and lots of lovely residents. If I were you, I'd definately go for AR particulary as your children have places in Jess. I'm sure that some people manage without but I think that if you are living in any of the communities in this area and have children then you need a second car. I assume that you are looking at 2 beds in Al Reem? If so, it's too far during the hotter months to walk/bike to Jess or the shopping centre. I have no idea if Jess has a bus service within AR though so that would make it easier if they did. Good luck with your planning.

I thought the final point was fairly pointless too Custard Apple and would imagine that some gelato is made with just as much rubbish as some ice cream. I'd guess, product advertising aside, the first two points are probably the most salient when it comes to the differences between the two. Glad to hear you got your gelato sk686!

I find it easiest to err on the side of caution and wear long sleeves to the wrist and trousers or dresses to the ankle. Whilst you can get away with wearing less, I'd rather just cover up and not have to worry about if I am or aren't showing too much.

I was wondering that too dentro so I checked. This is off the Bacio website. GELATO VS ICE CREAM The difference between regular ice cream and gelato can be summarized in the following points: Ice creams have a higher content of butterfat ranging between 10% to 18%. Gelato is made with whole milk which is 3% to 4% butterfat. Ice creams have a higher percentage of air. Gelato has less than 55% air, which makes it denser with a much stronger taste. Much of the gelato experience comes from its semi-frozen consistency. In gelato, mainly fresh ingredients are used, unlike ice cream which depends on colorants, stabilizers, and preservatives

Evidently it's all being centralised and in the future all passport applications will have to be sent to, and processed in, the UK. Something to do with new security measures and passports now having to be printed in the UK. During the transition period they are using seven regional processing centres, of which Dusseldorf is one.

Thanks mm17. Either you got lucky or I got unlucky! I sent 20 June, payment taken 7 July and still waiting. There is a note on the website to say that the process changed 11 July and whilst Dusseldorf is still processing the applications, the new passports are now printed and sent from the UK. Maybe I'm just not meant to go away this summer. Boo.

I'm not trying to stir anything up but on a recent thread a poster wondered why people send their children to school at 3. Aside from anything else that was said, I thought it was a valid question and something I might not understand myself if I didn't have young children here so I'd thought I'd explain why my children (aged 1,3 & 5) have/will start school at 3. I started school aged 5 because that's when you start in NZ where I'm from. I'd love for my children to start school at 5 but we're not in NZ, we're in Dubai and (within my peer group anyway) 3 is when you start school here. So if I'd chosen not to send my oldest to school the September after she'd turned 3 she would have been the only one of her friends not to have been in school (or nursery 5 mornings a week for the children who's schools didn't start until FS2). I think it would have been pretty tough on her (and me) if she had not had been able to have any interaction with children her own age during school hours, she'd always have been hanging out with her younger brothers, and their friends. Also, and this is a big factor, it would have been a lot harder to get her a place in the school we chose if we had waited until she was older. She LOVES school and I love that she loves it but I'm always thrilled when it's school holidays. I do also think that times have changed. Even in NZ my SAHM friends all have their children in nursery at least 3 mornings a week from age 3. I'm sure if I was there, I'd do the same whereas when I was of pre school age, not a single one of my friends, nor I, went to nursery. I'm certainly not trying to justify why she started school at 3, it's not a decision I feel like I need to justify in any way, shape or form but I did want to explain to the poster who asked, why children starting at 3 here is simply not because people can't be bothered to look after their own children.

I don't have milk but my husband has been complaining about it as he can't stand the long life stuff either. If you ask them specifically, they often have fresh milk. If not, there's usually another coffee place nearby that does use fresh. Seems like an idiotic decision, we can't be the only customers they are losing.

The Marlborough Sounds and Coromandel are both beautiful! I'd also recommend Golden Bay which is about 1 1/2 hours drive from Nelson. The main township is Takaka and there are loads of beautiful beaches dotted around the coast. The scenery is absolutely stunning and there are many areas that feel quite remote but are still easily accessible and close enough to shops to be convenient. You can't stay on it but Wharariki Beach is one of my favourite places in the world. You reach it by a 20 minute walk over farmland and it's incredible. I haven't used this site before but there are a few holiday homes on it which might help give you a feel for the area: http://www.bookabach.co.nz/__Golden_Bay.cfm

Well the opinion of ONE ex-NOTW journo may be that the purpose of tabloid journalism is to 'destroy people's lives' but not everyone shares that opinion. Here's another opinion, this time from a former deputy assistant commissioner for the Met police, "The News Of The World has done some genuine good work. We have really got to be careful here and not throw out the baby with the bathwater – and not end up without an investigative journalism in this country."

Waxmuch, in his statement James Murdoch said 'Many of you, if not the vast majority of you, are either new to the Company or have had no connection to the News of the World during the years when egregious behaviour occurred'. I think the vast majority of people who work at NOTW would be appalled about what has gone on. It's pretty harsh to gloat about them losing their jobs.

As you have to purchase a ticket for the baby regardless if they have their own seat or not, I assume you would be told at time of booking that it's not possible to have a baby in first class? I think it's a great idea, If I'd forked out for first class I wouldn't want to have my trip ruined by a screaming child. It's bad enough my own screaming children ruining my flight in economy.

Hi Gweny, I can relate to your problem, a few years back I decided to have a break from always exercising and watching my weight. I put on 16kgs in four months. Gluttony and sloth was my problem, not my thyroid. It took a LOT longer than four months to get the weight off but I did in the end. I know you say you have no time to prepare proper food but you need to make the time. I make a big salad in the evening and that does for lunch the next day too. Lots of chopped fresh vegetables and some sort of protein (which I cook a big batch of every few days). Don't cover it in creamy dressing, it sounds weird but soya sauce and a splash of chilli oil is one of my favourite dressings. Breakfast is raw oats soaked in milk with flaxseeds, dried fruit, chopped nuts and few grapes. I know it probably sounds boring eating salad all the time but it makes me feel great. On the odd occasion I do eat some bread or something I feel quite sluggish. Great that you are exercising, keep it up! It's not easy but you can do this. I know I'm not meant to say this (and I would never say it to a teenager or publicly a la Kate Moss) but yep, nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. Good luck!

SQ, I don't know how you have your home set up but if they aren't already have you thought about your children sharing a room? It would free up a room which you could use as a playroom or maids room or guest room. My three kids (5,3,1) share a room and they love it. I recently suggested to my 5 year old that she move in to her own room and she reacted with horror. It isn't great when one is sick but they actually all sleep better in together. And it means that we can have bedroom 3 as a playroom and bedroom 4 as a guest room. Of course all the above is a moot point if they already share! I didn't like the thought of someone else in our home either but I find the pros of having a live in maid far outweigh the cons. Good luck with your dilemma.

Nasty cows, well done for keeping your cool. I don't understand what would possess anyone to shout at someone in front of their children. I will confront someone if the situation warrants it but if they've got children with them they'd have to be doing something pretty extreme before I'd get angry/shouty. Kids don't need to see that.

I could be wrong but I thought it was illegal for a man to have a lady masseuse? So it's always going to be a male masseuse unless visiting a house of ill repute. What is it with men worrying about if the man is gay? When getting a massage it's never crossed my mind to think that the lady might be gay. And even if she was, why would she fancy me? Do men really think that they are so irresistable that a gay masseuse would not have any option but to go for the happy finish?
