Hello I am considering the offer of a job in Dubai. I like the occasional drink, even if it's just at home, and wondered if it were possible in Dubai to do just that? Do they have supermarkets where you can buy, I don't know, a bottle of wine, or beers, without fear of offending the authorities and/...

Thanks for your reply! You mean the shop needs a licence, don't you, not me?

Blueie

Wow. Is it easy to get an alcohol licence? From where?

Thanks

Blueie

Wow! Thank you for all your help and information. I'm most grateful.

Surely, it's for the mother and father to decide what is best? It's her body and their baby.

There are millions of women who bottle-feed their babies. In fact, I don't know anyone who breastfeeds. The figure is so low in the major city that I live in that the health service PAYS them to breastfeed. It is not culturally acceptable here. These mothers take the money and breastfeed for a few d...

Can't you accept that many women just don't want to breastfeed? Many women don't want a 'natural' birth, either, so they choose a C-Section. Surely, that's their choice? In the UK, you can choose a C-sec for non-medical reasons. Same with breastfeeding - isn't it the mother's choice? You can't FORCE...

I don't know why the mother can't have a C-section: it's her body, her baby, her choice. There are no internal examinations (most women despise them) and you can choose a date to have a C-section. I don't know why you think it's not the mother's right to prefer a C-section? As to breastfeeding, some...

Do you mean that mothers-to-be who choose to have a C-Sec and to bottle-feed should not have children? In terms of midwives, if I were a woman, I would not want a woman to 'see' me during childbirth (in the UK, mothers-to-be never have internal examinations until they go into labour, so if they choo...

Well, you sound a positive person with the right criteria. 'As I know male midwives aren't popular in Dubai' - not yet: as you suggest, the most important thing is professionalism, and not the gender of the doctor/midwife. You know in Spain, there is no such thing as a midwife (comodroma). The word,...
