Thanks so much for the replies. Hi AAL, do you mean he will need 50k a month with or without a family package? Hi Lady Lavender, yes we realise we would need 4 X 60K plus 200k+ for a house. Why would Mirdif be less expensive, you're not the first person to mention that it may be more affordable. Hi Silvstet, would you mind giving me some examples of cost of after school activities? Our boys are currently in rugby schools and are obsessed with it. They play basketball and gaelic football too. Our 8 yr old goes to drama classes (LAMDA) and tennis lessons. Our 3 yr old will need his too in time esp swimming lessons. I saw online that JESS won the schools rugby league but I can't find a mention of it on their website? Would any of you have boys who play? My 8 yr old has a half hour session of resource per day at school for mild dyspraxia, reading and maths. She's very bubbly and socially bright but is behind her peers. Has anyone experience of this type of thing? When reading through some of the websites of potential schools they sound rather exclusive though my friend feels The Ranches Primary School isn't. Are there any Irish expat moms on this forum? Or teachers who would know of children who have switched from the Irish Curriculum to the British equivalent? Thanks peeps, great advice so far!:cool:

We have 4 children aged 3,8,12&14. We are Irish and both professionals. We are giving serious thought to leaving for Dubai for 3-4 yrs. I was offered 25k+p/m and a studio flat. This I discovered to be known as a 'bachelor package, not a family one. My husband is pitching his porfolio to some of the multi-national ad agencies at the moment. This is something we will do only if we can live a modest but comfortable life there. I feel I should wait to start work until the kids are started school (if one can be found). My question is how much would my husband need to earn p/m in order to support the family allowing me to be a housewife for a few weeks to help the kids adjust? When I do go to work that will cover childcare and after school activities and savings. any advice greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
