Hi dear, AS per my experiance, good nunny can be really helpful and would take lots of pressure from mother, however nunnies also burned over. My advice to get a proper contract with nanny to sequire yourself. Most of nunnies here also housemaids. Community around you also will be very important - sometimes trusted ppl next door can help in urgent sitiation. Try to buid your circule as soon as possible, make friends for you and your kid. Mums at school usually very friendly. If I will be you, first I will find an area where to live in Dubai, the best option close to school (school bus also an option but If you will get afterschool activities outside school, your kid might would be tired quickly. Remember sometimes we have a bad traffic here in Dubai around school areas. I also have 8 y o boy and was single mum for some time, pls pm me any time If you have more questions.

You only have to be back in uk for 90 days..you don't need to be working. Also, if you have young children that rule can be waived. My friend returned from Australia and went straight to UK citing about to have nervous breakdown etc...her benefits commenced virtually immediately...not that I am recommending that BUT if you are desperate it is an option. Other issue, if you can support yourself for three months then benefits will kick in till such time as you find employment. Once you find employment you will get tax credits taking you up to a reasonable monthly income. It is do-able... Tnx I was thinking about it. My main problem that my kids are 3 and 5 so It will be difficult for me to find a suitable job to manage schools etc.. yes I have relatives in UK but they have they one problems so I don't think they could help me.

I spoke to the lawyer and he was very positive about my situation. I also considering to go back to uk however I don't think I can apply for any social benefits there and council accommodation as I left uk for more that 90 days so I probably lost all residential rights there. To go back to the system I need to work for at least 3 month and pay taxes in the UK/ At the moment my husband continues dating with ladies plus does not sleeping at home couple nights per week. We are not talking anymore coz I have no idea how to talk to him after his actions.

Dear Ladies, thanks for all your advises. I don't have place in UK at the moment. Our house (actually he bought it on his name before we got married) totally destroyed by tenant. Also my husband did not pay council tax for ages and utility bills..I cannot just go and live here. It has to take time to sort things out. Also since my man decoded to have a single life, he took 2 more loans and opened 1 more credit card. His (our) financial situation is really bad now. He told me one day I don't want to be with you but I cannot afford to separate. At the moment I am doing my mums work. He is never at home for last 3 days.
