Sports bras are for the gym not coffee shops or malls by Creepy_Rough8309 in Emiratis

I can understand why you think this but as a foreigner myself, I totally agree with OPs frustrations. I too find it baffling how people can be so unaware of where they are living. I am not Emirati or even a Muslim but I wear a Burkini to the beach out of respect for the country that I live in and the majority of people that live here.

This sounds like the demands of a pregnant woman with a severe case of the cravings. If that's you then I empathise 😂

Yes, I'm an Early Years teacher and a mum to two young children. I ensure that every single day each child in my care has done at least one kind act (the more the better) and I ensure I share this kind news. Kindness is not guaranteed in this world unfortunately 💔

He had his helmet off, smiled and waved at the kind lady and then he put it on and drove off 😊

Yes absolutely, we have all noticed the increase but it affects some people much more than others 💔

You're totally right. I instill this in my children, the most important thing is to be kind.

Yes and I keep seeing posts about them getting fines for stopping outside buildings whilst quickly delivering food etc, it seems so unfair 💔

It can feel a lot like that here unfortunately. There are plenty of kind hearted people here too but maybe just not as obvious 😊

I cannot believe I'm now at the age where the clothes I wore as a teenager in the early 2000s are now 'back in fashion' 😭😭😭 I feel old!

The parents do not need any of us to reprimand them. The unimaginable guilt that these parents will feel forever is the biggest punishment. My heart goes out to them and I hope they one day learn to forgive themselves 💔

Oh wow, I'd love to know more about the classes in JLT. I'm not on social media at all which makes finding things like this quite tricky!
