I'll soon be in the same situation where I'll have to have a chat or chats with my son about the move. He's already said that he doesn't like to go because it's too hot and because he'll miss his friends. We were in the ME on holidays before and he totally disliked the heat and the crazy driving.

Here, he goes to mixed martial arts and guitar class which take up all his weekday evenings, and he plays road hockey and soccer (football) with the neighbourhood kids on weekends.

Are those possibilities in Doha? Do kids play road football in compounds after dark?
