Qatar or EZY? Having worked for the latter, I can say it's certainly not free of problems, but they will be nothing as to the treatment Qatar are renowned for, and no EU country would ever have the frustrations, restrictions and legal exposures that you would face in Doha. Then there is the climate (meteorological, not just political). I think you'd be doing both your family and yourself a huge disservice going to the ME for a similar SH job on the same aircraft with similar command times and a decent EU contract (that actually means what is written). The only thing Qatar can offer that is better is the possibility of fleet transfers onto long haul, if that is something you want, but while seeing the world is great, a fixed roster like EZY or RYR have is a valuable thing indeed, especially for a family man.
