Nobody can handle the heat, we all just stay indoors all summer or leave for the summer. It's only really really hot for about 3 and a half months, the rest of the year is beautiful. And believe me you will adjust.
There is no lack of things for kids to do, I wish I grew up here, there are skating rinks, indoor amusement parks, outdoor parks,and more and more each month. Anything a kid wants is here.
The size of the home depends on what your company is providing. They range from decent to huge. Washers, fridges, dishwashers are all American sized.
I hear good things about the American school.
Everyone tries to leave the country for the summer, including the Qataris :).
Your parents can get a visitors visa easily, so can anyone else from the US. And I only see my grandparents during the summer. Fact of life here in Doha. But you get long Christmas breaks to.
Very few people in Qatar speak Arabic, so you don't need to worry about the grocery stores, they are surprisingly well stocked with Western food.
Ok now I can answer your questions! :)
