hi tina

• Hi Tina,
  It would be a great experience for you and the children. Im an Aussie mum of 3 (10,9,1) and its the 2nd time i have lived here. $90,000 US is a good wage, though may be hard if paying rental yourself. We pay for all of our housing etc, and it can be a struggle. Where we live is about to be demolished so we need to find new accommodation, which if staying here in Dubai, for a 3 bedroom villa, can be anywhere from $50,000 + . Moving to one of the other Emirates would be cheaper, but it would depend on where your husband is working. (mine works from home, so moving out of Dubai is OK for us). Re:playgroups etc..i believe there are some around (Mirdiff mum's?), and there are lots of nursery schools around. We choose not to send our children to school here, but to home-school them instead. Financially- schooling here is not an option for us. There are many parks around, and you would be very lucky to have a sister and brother-in-law here !
  Cheers
  Cynthia
