It's sad but the realities of life in the region make it very difficult for most people to act on or even to express the more normal impulses of "Humanity". The financial, not to mention the legal implications of involving oneself in simple acts of human kindness tend to put a brake on them. This desensitiving effect on otherwise altruistic caring individuals probably explains the seemingly harsh responses on this thread. As I said, sad, but true.

I don't think that Lolacat was suggesting that the OP needs to financially support this pregnancy and childbirth, more that she was pointing out the sad contrast between the two kinds of "expatwomen". Accident of birth, it really is the greatest of life's lotteries.

Thank you all for responding. I had my tests and am good and all my lumps are nothing to worry about. Its a huge relief. Two doctors have seen my DD and both say its nothing, I feel its grown in the past two weeks, I did not get a referral for ultrasound for her even though I requested over and over - we are paying cash anyway and I am going to go back now and insist. They feel its nothing which is great, but I think I would only be relieved once an ultrasound is done and the lump assessed. My all clear was such a relief only for this beginning to really worry me. Please someone tell me that they have had something like this at puberty (she's a skinny girl) and doctor has confirmed its not hair follicle related. My DD has this problem at around 12 years old, it proved to be totally harmless and apparently is quite common. Try not to worry.

With apologies in advance to DR, her final comment was a little ambiguous, although I didn't read it as implying an additional and more sinister complication in the life of the OP in the other thread, but I can see why others might. I assumed (and I believe correctly) that she was referring to a particular mindset which seems to seize the brains of some people when they arrive in Dubai. It is something of a mixed blessing, in that it combines an enthusiasm and energy which seems to make all good things possible, without recognising that bad things can happen too, even to good hardworking people with great business ideas. Dubai and failure (of any kind) are rarely to be seen in the same sentence, and whilst this "dare to dream" attitude is one of the driving forces behind the growth of the Emirate, it is also responsible for a great deal of individual human misery. In the latter stages of the last boom I saw more than one person take on commitments totally predicated on continuous growth, even after the slump. There seemed in some case to be an almost obsessive belief that the worst could not happen to them. And when it did, the denial often took the form of a refusal to accept that cutting their losses and going home was beyond unthinkable. Knowing when to quit is a very valuable quality, probably even more so than the attitude that failure is impossible...........but that latter concept can become almost a form of madness, and I suspect that is the mindset to which DR was referring. The OP's thread is not the first such instance of personal disaster on this forum, over the years there have been many cases of good people coming undone, because they allowed the Dubai dream to cloud their vision, and they didn't realise that going home was not the worst option until it was too late. And for various reasons it seems that the male brain, probably because it is in general better wired for risk taking, is particularly susceptible to this kind of blindness. And I suspect it is responsible for even greater damage to marriage than the more usually discussed temptations of the "darkside" of Dubai.

I agree that KenzaB's DH must be feeling terrible, and he has my sympathy. I am sure he never intended any of this to happen but the best way he can make amends and thus start to feel better about himself is by being realistic and putting his family's welfare first, and soon. Sitting around and hoping for a miracle is not going to work well.

Ladies come on now!!! Why is the majority here encouraging her to break up her marriage? Yes her marriage has issues which needs to be fixed!!! Not broken! Why break something that can be fixed? There are kids involved!! They're both adults and can fix this. Besides, your only hearing her side! I'm sure her husband is sorry about what he's done to his family here! He took a risk for the family, he failed unfortunately! Everyone makes mistakes! No one is perfect. My husband didn't work for 10 years. I was the bread winner those 10 years. Yes it was difficult but we together got through it! Yes I too sent out resumes for him. Its called marriage! For richer or poorer! For goodness sakes, no one is encouraging the OP to "break up her marriage"..........they are telling her to save her family from destitution. And it is precisely because there are kids involved that she must do everything in her power to get out of Dubai and go to a place of safety. Unless her DH gets his head out of the sand he will not be around to be part of his family, it's pretty difficult to be a Dad from inside the Dubai Hilton. it takes two people to break up a marriage and so far she has done everything to keep it together, meanwhile he has been risking his family's entire well being to follow his own dreams. If OP can get back to her home country, then that is the time to start thinking about saving the marriage, but right now she's looking down the barrel of a very scary gun, if you think that creditors, landlords and schools are going to take pity on this family to save a marriage then you are very misguided. To KenzaB, please listen to the very good and well informed advice from other posters, get home and then reassess your future. if your DH has got one iota of sense (and a little shame will not come amiss either) then he will do his dam@edest to sort himself out and step up to being part of the marriage in circumstances which do not put you all at risk. I think you have sacrificed yourself and your children long enough, please don't allow anyone to make your life even more difficult by sending you on a misplaced guilt trip. In fact to put things bluntly, if your DH doesn't face up to the reality of what he has done and do everything in his power to get you all home. then his commitment to the marriage isn't worth a bucket of spit.

It does get better.............the first few months I was In Dubai I think I was in a state of shock, felt as though i were wading through treacle to get the simplest things done, it is very wearing. Eventually you learn to do the "only in Dubai" shrug and cope with it. It does get easier (although I have to thankfully admit I am now just an occasional visitor.........Dubai has its own charm but not it's not for everyone).

I think she must have a very poor management team if they honestly thought Dubai had the demographic who would pay to see her. Which is a little worrying, considering that she is, whatever her diagnosis, a very vulnerable woman. Personally I have always felt extremely uncomfortable about the whole "Subo" phenomenon. There is a very fine line between discovering talent in unexpected people...and the old fashioned freak show. I truly hope that there are at least a couple of decent and honest people in her team who have got a game plan for her future after her celebrity wanes.

I agree with DT, this kind of behaviour is at best childish and an embarrassment and at worst trivialisation of violence towards children. If anyone doubts the latter I suggest they take a trawl through the almost weekly court reports of babies being abused and murdered by brain dead "parents". The defense "I was only playing" tends to crop up with sickening regularity.

Of course they say it's legal! They want to make money. And some of them genuinely believe it is legal because they have paid good money to an unscrupulous individual who has sold them a "visa". It's a very great shame that those individuals are untouchable.

My initial reaction to your first post was that I felt you were being unfeeling and selfish, but now that you have given a little more background I can see that you are in a very difficult situation. However, your DD is in a worse place than you and your DH, no matter how imperfect her mother is, she is her mother. And your DD is very young, and still at an age when pleasing adults is very important, the poor kiddie must, in spite of anything she tells you, be feeling very confused and torn. Please try to think ahead, she will not be a child for very much longer and she will be more willing to truly express her feelings, and work through them...........IF you back right off and remove the pressure. Please don't say you are not pressuring her, by allowing this to even be an issue and discussing it with her is opening a whole can of emotional worms for her. You seem to have provided a well adjusted and functional family environment for her, but that in itself must only be highlighting the differences in parental situations. Amongst other emotions she will feel a degree of guilt (albeit misplaced) a sense of responsibility towards her mother and a host of other feelings she cannot yet articulate. But you and your DH cut this Gordian knot....you can afford to be emotionally generous (and please try to separate the financial implications from the real issue here, it hopelessly confuses things and is probably responsible for some of the more acid responses on here) and allow the child to spend EVERY Xmas day with her mother, for now. In a very few years she will decide for herself.......probably quite forcefully! Do this, and you will remove a huge burden from her little shoulders and in the fullness of time she will reward your patience and generosity with a lifetime of absolute trust and the satisfaction of knowing that you both have put her feelings above your own. Your DD will be much more yours if you do this. Sometimes being a parent means letting go, there is a lot to be said for the judgement of Solomon. I speak from experience.

Please do not disable the front airbag............I am recovering from a horrendous car crash which wrote off our CRV and the other car. Friends who drove past the wreckage shortly after the accident were horrified at the scene and assumed there had been fatalities, I quote "No one could have survived that". Thanks to the airbags. we have broken bones and lacerations but no internal injuries, and are buying another CRV.

Hi ladies, Can you recommend a treatment for garden snails? We have literally thousands of them, tiny little brown snails. We've had a professional garden company out to spray, which seems to kill them for a week and then they return. The spray I poisonous to animals so we need to keep the pets inside for days. We've used a slug pellet remedy from the Garden Centre in Dubai but at 250dhs per application it's becoming expensive since it seems to work for around 3 weeks, after which we need to re-apply. If you know of a treatment / remedy that's worked for you please let me know. Thank you. It is utterly pointless to spray to eradicate snails, I think the "professional" garden company saw you coming.

The Roma are generally accepted to be the most persecuted minority in Europe and the tone of these articles, I find pretty disgusting. It's 200 years since Engels wrote about Ireland "spewing forth the worst of its pestilent hoardes" into England. With talks of avalanches and influxes the standard of debate doesn't seem to have moved on. If you listen to the interview, one chap has lived there for 10 years and been working during that time. Lots of interesting debates on this topic next week no doubt when my friend who is a UKIP PPC visits! Interesting that you should quote Engels............he too was an immigrant to Britain. And from the majority of the articles highlighting the "Influx' of Roma, so are the protesters of relatively recent immigrant background. Funny that..............seems to be a deeply human characteristic to pull the ladder up behind oneself.

Just to clarify a little, I was merely questioning why that particular link was posted on this forum now. It is neither topical nor particularly geographically relevant to the area, and at any given point in time, social media and the popular press is awash with maps and statistics, which in any case are not always accurate. No attack was intended, just curious as to why figures from fifteen years ago should be highlighted on EW now. like I said, it's doing the rounds on facebook - the artist who put it together has just released it having spent years on the project... Thankyou. Now I understand.

Most plants in UAE don't have a dormant period, but obviously they need a little less when the temps drop, but remember that wind is even more drying than heat, your best bet is to check the soil around the plant, if dry then water.

There are probably many of the old time posters, who like me look in from time and to time, and occasionally post but more often sit on their hands and log off in despair.

This boy had been encouraged by an adult in his family, believe it or not, but I did witness some parents that so proud to have a boy - like it was an achievement ! - and do encourage these little boys to kiss hug and more than this, I remember a friend of my sister saying proudly how the teacher in the class separated that boy from a specific girl in the class, as he keeps touching this girl - like a man! - with no remorse on the mother face, bare in mind that boy was only 7 years old! this woman I did gave her a piece of my mind and how by her irresponsibility she is raising a pervert, not a man! OP, you need to get your DD to not let anybody, young or adult, man or a woman - specially in her tender age - can touch her, if it happen, then she must tell the teacher about it, as this is wrong. If it was me, I would go at the pick up time in the school, ask my DD to point out this boy, then I will talk to his parent(s) who will be picking up him, and this should stop it. And you would be quite. quite wrong. That kind of hysterical overreaction to innocent if irritating child's play is totally inappropriate and slightly worrying. Not all human contact is sinister, and to look for evil where there is none is at least as damaging than ignoring real harm. Please don't confuse your children, not ALL contact is sinister.

Recency Car Hire are very good, you can Google them for details. As for eating out, there are loads of little tavernas in the villages around Aphrodite Hills and down at the coast there are plenty to choose from but I have no idea if any of them are involved in the Entertainer scheme. If they do the chances are they are aimed at the tourist market and hence probably not the best value. With small children I would suggest half board at AH and either have picnic lunches or try some of the local taverna, if you stay in the hotel. If in a villa, then you can still use the restaurants in the complex.....there is a great pizza place....but you will need a car if you want to eat elsewhere. If you do rent a car (which will be as economical than a taxi each way to AH) then check out Mandria (for great fish and chips, not Cypriot but very good) also in Pissouri Square O'Vrakas is excellent, or try one of the tavernas in Kouklia (nearest village to AH). Best local shops are the Muchtar's shop which is facing you as you come off the motorway for Mandria or Papantonios in Pissouri. All easy to find on a tourist map. Hope this helps and enjoy Cyprus. <em>edited by Livelytrish on 20/08/2013</em>
