Put medicine in a nice drink and may be easier for child to have it and [b'>DO NOT TELL child[/b'> If you child is deciding when she is going to try on the clothes, she may be manipulating you. Who is boss ? Her reactions are a bit extreme! It takes 3 adults to give her medicine when she is sick. I took her shopping once, she threw a tantrum because I was trying some shoes on her. It was embarrassing. Now, I buy things bring them home and we take it wasy on her until she 'decides' she wants to try them. <em>edited by jewelsmiddle on 23/05/2011</em>

This must be very difficult to deal with and suggest you get professional assistance. A child will learn some of these fears from experiences, their imagination stems from experiences , be it from T V , family, people,adults or children, animals, the dark, books that not wise to read to a small child, DVD's that are scary, many many things. Some of these behaviours are learned from others such as fear of spiders, People may over react and then children learn the same negative behaviour and this will be the case in many different situations. Start writing down her fears and when it occurs so if you do seek help you can give the professional a clearer picture. Having written all the above, there will be exceptions where a child could be clever enough and can manipulate even at a young age. Could your child in contact with people who are of nervous disposition . Better to get to the bottom of it now if you can or problem will get worse as child gets older. Good luck

My post referred only to two things , the crayons and paper and the bowls of water. I was not posting about any other part of her experience. In my post, I noted it was not a good experience but not everything was wrong and that is in reference to the above two things I wrote about. but jewelsmiddle....it IS cutomary to be given cutlery, even for the small children, or do you expect them to eat with their fingers? If you read carefully for a change you will see that the poster had dined at the resturant before...so yes, she had reasonable expectations of the service and the quality of food she expected to receive.

I wonder why customers expectations have got so high for the fair price they pay in places like this. Nothing wrong with paper and crayons for children. Just because they did not have wet tissues does not mean what was supplied was incorrect. It is normal to have bowls of water with lemon in certain types of restaurants to wash ones hands. Yes sounds like it was not a good experience but not everything was wrong just different from your expectations. ................ They only got their colouring paper & crayons. Just before we leave.....I ask for some wet tissues. But guess what.....we got 2 small bowls of water with a slice of lemon as they have no more tissues.

How is it the information differs so much ? Are you in the real estate business ? Have you been unable to do the process yourself ? have you succeeded in doing the process yourself ? It is very difficult at times when there is conflicting information. Who is correct Ladies , Kate one or bowbellscowbells or both ? you do need a registered broker to do the MOU and transfer xx

Now have more information of your deliema. It was not my intention to make you feel worse and if you had written your arranged plans had fallen though it would have been viewed differently. My questions were asked as peoples expectations in their working life today is so far removed from years ago. Today in the world especially in Europe( and many have come to work in Dubai ) can expect employers to bend backwards and believe they should have many entitlements etc etc. I am confident you will find someone to help you out. Good Luck ! Thanks for the words of wisdom. I am having a hard enough time of it as it is, thanks. I accepted the job with different hours and a car share in place but things change don't they? I have asked at DESS and put a sign up. I have asked different friends, I have also put signs up in the supermarkets. Anything else you want to say to make me feel worse? <em>edited by jewelsmiddle on 20/05/2011</em>

This is life! Surely ,before you accepted the job you knew the hours and if you could manage ? Baffles me why one thinks if the employer sticks to the hours, that is what they offered and if there was any query this could have been discussed in interview. Have interviews changed that much ? Ask at DESS , they will know who lives in A R. Put a sign up at DESS.

This is a sad modern way of thinking . People need to look out and support one another. There are not sufficient police to stop and educate everyone. Helpful is a key word. ................... To be honest, I really think like you, children should be the first ones we put the belts on in the car, but sorry to say it’s not your place to say anything directly to the parents, if somebody has something to say that should be the police. edited by Peladilla on 19/05/2011

An awful way to die and watch someone die. People have died in pools when hair has been caught which is why it is wise to have it tied up and reduce risk, especially children as they do not know the risks.

What a heavy load, I would not wish such a burden for the rest of my life. Do you want the burden ? Life is tough and this baggage will make it more difficult. Get some counselling if you need help in your decision making but looks as if you already have your answer. Good luck . No they aren't here. They are in their home country with mum. he is fighting tooth and nail to see them but it's a very long process and I guess sadly dads don't always have it very easy. It's hard to go into too much detail on here, but rest assured he is trying very hard... The reasons he gave me were things like "i don't want it to change us" (like it did with his ex...) "i don't want the same thing to happen" (again like it did with his ex...) it's funny because it's not the kids that bothers me... i find his emotional baggage harder to deal with because he's been stung! counselling is calling us...

If you want children and he does not or unsure still after he has had some time to think. Do not marry him ! Hi Ladies, So it seems i'm in a dilemma... i've been seeing a man for 2 years now and i adore him. Completely adore him... At the start we spoke about marriage and children and said it was something we both wanted. However, over the last year talk of both has ended... he talks about us being together till the end etc and "when we retire" and we both know we're in it for the long run... apart from the marriage and babies... 2 weeks ago I grabbed the bull by the horns and brought it up... I said i wanted to know if we were on the same page and although it wasn't something i wanted right now, eventually i would. This took quite a bit of courage to talk about as I absolutely cannot bear these types of conversations. Plus i was terrified of the outcome! It didn't go too bad but he said he thinks he only wants one child... however the very next day he changed and said he wasn't too sure... i said that I would need an answer and that although he didn't need to give it to me straight away I would need one at some point. I asked him to really think about it and come back to me. He asked if i would end it if he said no to kids and i said it would be a huge problem but i hadn't thought of it. I guess my question is this... what if he comes back and says no to having children? We have such a lovely relationship with all the building blocks to survive.. but obviously this is a big (well huge in fact) deal. I always see myself with children eventually and with him definitely... but I want him to be happy about it. I'm desperate for some advice from anyone... i'm really pulling my hair out over this one :(

Ah so maybe you have been charged tablets + a consultation price . The plot thickens ! .................... They told me I had to have a consultation to get another prescription. So I then rang City Hospital who said they did dispense to any prescription, and they had one tub of this left - we were about to run out. So I dashed over there and got a 500AED bill! .............................. <em>edited by jewelsmiddle on 17/05/2011</em>

Why don't you get in the car and go to a pharmacy, surely there is one near you. Have you ever noticed how busy they always are on the phones ? I have many many times. The key is to have the question answered at any pharmacy if there is a fixed price for prescriptions in Dubai ? exactly my plan for this morning A Rancher - not that I haven't got better things to do! Would be nice if pharmacys answered their phones though! Trouble is this medication is not generally available - it has to be kept in the fridge and every 'normal' pharmacy in a mall say doesn't stock it - the only place we've had it previously has been from American Hospital - who only dispense their own prescriptions. They told me I had to have a consultation to get another prescription. So I then rang City Hospital who said they did dispense to any prescription, and they had one tub of this left - we were about to run out. So I dashed over there and got a 500AED bill! Back to my list of hospitals.... <em>edited by jewelsmiddle on 17/05/2011</em>

Heehee, reminds me a bit about the ole Hamster running as fast as he can around his wheel, accomplishing nothing. Albeit can provide entertainment, right? edited by DlnAces on 17/05/2011 I feel this was true in the beginning of being in Dubai. But a few years later I am so used to people living in villas with pool, having a Porsche 'which we only use in the weekend' and going on holiday 26 times that it doesn't affect me anymore :).

As another poster wrote you need a wide net and friends no matter where we live are difficult to come by and also depends on what ones understanding is of the word "Friend". The number of people here in Dubai talk about the great friends they have and the various social outings and gatherings they have at the weekends yet will bi*ch about them to others. Who needs friends like that? Dubai is a very lonely place for many many people and does not need to be but needs a change of attitude by us all to succeed. Parents with young children and teens can be very competitive and seem to forget( maybe they do not know how to ) teach their children the nice things in life .

It sounds like texting thumb ! This may sound weird to some but do you have a LO that you carry around lots or hold a certain way when BFing or bottle feeding? If so that would probably be why. With my first I went to my dr with the same problem in the same area you're describing. I forget what she called it but it was something like 'mommy thumb or mommy something'. Anyways, something like carple tunnel except that moms with LOs get it and it does go away... after a while. Things I did to help it. Switch between heat and ice, try switching the way you hold your LO, get a wrist brace but one that supports your thumb and wear it when you can... usually when LO is napping or playing by themselves.

Why did you ever stick around ? Good luck with your new start and beware in the future. He was violent, aggressive and jealous beyond control. Whenever he got really angry and would smash things. He smashed my new laptop, my blackberry and 2 of his blackberrys. Whenever he was angry he used to shout at me and because I didnt argue back this would inflame him even more. He used to spit in my face and tell me I was nothing. I had to sit there whilst he kept spitting at me because everytime I tried to leave the house he would stop me, hold my wrists, push me. He put me in hospital when he hit me so hard in the face. He also would bruise me where he would try and grab my wrists or push me or by just being so heavy handed He played mind games with me and he tracked every single conversation i had on BB, email etc. I got to the point where i prayed my phone wouldnt ring incase he got angry. He didnt like any of my friends and told me they were all a bad influence on me and i shouldnt go out with them. If I did go out with them he would always start an argument saying he knew I had been talking to guys or why wasnt I back at the exact time I said I would be home. I couldnt talk about anyone that I worked with because he would start asking a million questions about why i was talking to a guy in the office etc. He used to lie to me all the time, even if it was stupid little lies and when I would catch him out he would try and shout his way out of it. I caught him out so many times, now when I remember back im actually laughing to myself. The police were no help either to be honest. Had to call them a few times and guess what, they wont do anything. Anyway, all this went on for far too long and now I realise that im tired of him taking, taking, taking all the time. I want to be in a relationship where someone takes me out for a nice meal somewhere and appreciates me when I cook and clean and wash and do everything for them. Not someone who takes me to Bobs Diner for a burger and then conveniently goes to the toilet when the bill arrives. As for the rest, decided that I want to be healthy and start afresh so detox is a good start. Clear out all the bad toxins (in more ways than one) edited by Zaabs on 16/05/2011

If Jumeriah Island have a bus service it would be ok but if not it will be expensive to get a Taxi if they go to satwa or jumeriah to meet friends . You can also say get a taxi to near by and then get a bus but if the maid has only one day off this is very tough, and we would not want this ourselves would we.. Dubai is more expensive today and maids like everyone are under financial pressures. the salary of 1700 dhs is far if you do not treat them like a slave and you rhelp looking after the child also. You, the female need to take the lead on hiring a maid, may be best to wait until you arrive. people differ alot on this subject and people can get easily upset. <em>edited by jewelsmiddle on 16/05/2011</em>

Report on TV said it is not the first time there has been an incident with Ladies by him. if it is true and convicted, he could get 15- 20 years depending on sentence. He says he had left the hotel an hour before it happened , i assume there may be camera's to prove time he did leave the hotel. He is a really charismatic political man, and a charmer with ladies. In the polls, he had a lead up on Sarkozy -- the current French president. His alleged behavior makes no sense. :(

Sticky wickets advice is wise. Freshly squeezed orange juice is also good for constipation. It is very very important your child has plenty of water and also roughage otherwise will remain constipated. Good Luck and go back to your doctor here again . Write down all food and drinks you are giving the child and note down the quantities, 20 mls/ozs , 50 grams /ozs this will help the doctors decide if any further action is required and specifically what action is needed. Good luck !

Green phlem usually means infection. The doctor could have tested you before giving antibiotics if the doctor suspected bacteria infection. Did he /she ? If you are bad it may take time, 3 days may not be enough and see how you are. Your daughter is younger than you so may respond faster. After the 7 day course,if not better on day 7 go back to your doctor on day 7. Thanks ladies for your wisdom!! I'm still not sure if it's bacterial or not, I guess I use the term flu in general, not really knowing for sure what it is. I've been coughing up green phlem and I feel alot of it around my larynx, but haven't lost my voice. My daughter, however, did lose hers, and we got sick at the same time. She seems to have responded to the anti-b's well. I've had this now for 8 days. I do feel slightly better, but just disappointed that the anti-b's (7 day course) didn't kick in straight away like they usually do.

There are 3 things one needs to follow to be successful. One is as important as the other. 1. Have custom made orthotics for your own feet to fit inside trainers or similar style shoes and wear them all the time. Do not wear flip flop style foot wear. 2. Lose weight if you are over weight. 3. Must exercise/stretch your feet. You may need to get advice about that which exercises. The poster, Ambike has written some that can be followed . It will take time but keep going and will be resolved if you follow the above.

Some peoples expectations are misplaced, may not be yours, but this is not the first thread on this hotel in Dubai. My text was general not directed at anyone in particular. Thankfully little ones are not allowed in Sky bar as nice to know as a mature adult with grown up children one can go somewhere where little children are not allowed so to relax and enjoy . BFC and forever 21, thank you for pointing out the strangeness of the comment. jewelsmiddle, I hardly think my expectations are misplaced when I say it was enjoyable and worth it for the experience but that, factually, the service was surprisingly bad and the food only okay. Frankly, I would expect better service in a 5* hotel and I've seen better looking hotels than the Burj. Not knocking it in that it is a nice hotel and it was an enjoyable experience but just because of that doesn't mean one should have to put up worth whatever shoddy service or food they choose to give you!! Claire is right, it's worth doing and I'd do it again with guests but as I said, for the experience. Unfortunately, we didn't make it to the Sky View Bar as you're not allowed up there with little ones. But we still paid Dhs395/person for it.

BFC, Go back and read your own posting, service not worth it!!!!!!!!! Other threads in Dubai have written B A A is not worth it, and look at texts since you wrote yourself on this thread. Define snarky please ? ??? Everyone says it WAS worth it, and that the food was lovely! Your comments about misplaced expectations are rather odd. I really have to stop posting to these threads, as snarky comments get to me. Why is it people say it is not worth it. Your paying for the views you will not get elsewhere. What do you really expect ? Sounds as if ones expectations are misplaced. If you want good Food and beverage value maybe another hotel is better to go to. If you want to opportunity to see a beautiful hotel like no other and have a sea view that is not available elsewhere, then go to the Burj al Arab. edited by jewelsmiddle on 11/05/2011 edited by BFC on 12/05/2011 edited by BFC on 12/05/2011

Go and see the school and ask their current advice. As happens in a lot of homes, we have the Triple H (not WWE either) - horror homework hour. DS (11-12) lacks motivation to do homework given over the week. Now it is Wednesday afternoon and it is due tomorrow. Do you say 'your choice Charlie Brown suck it up and face the consequences for incomplete work' or give them a hand? I am SO tempted to leave it and let school deal with this, but I struggle to actually make my threats real. Am I too much of a walk over or do I need to change the way I am dealing with this.
