Hello,

Yeah, I know I'm not a dad, but a mum!

My dp has been complaining how there doesn't seem to be any weekend interaction activities for dads and babies to do together eg. gymbaroo or kindermusik

I am really lucky that my dp likes to take our ds out on the weekend :smiliedance: but he is really getting tired of shopping centres.

Besides doing swimming lessons which are available on weekends, does anyone know of any organised activities for dads and babies?

My dp isn't interested in sports at all and more into the arts / music arena and ds is only 5mths old.

DP is disappointed when I come home from Gymbaroo and Baby Yoga and tell him what a great time our ds has had meeting other babies and what ds has experienced that day. DP doesn't have the opportunity to engage in the same activities with ds.

I guess this really shows how much organisations cater to mums for activities during the week and nothing for dads on the weekends.

Any weekend activity suggestions are very welcome.

:yes: It does suck there are no weekend activities!!
My DF takes DS out for a walk down to the park for a play,or even round to his brothers place just to give me a wee break.Nothing exciting,but its still nice for them to have some time to hang out together.

My DH does swimming lessons with my DD every Saturday morning, but we also go out for walks, picnics etc. I do know that the Gymboree at Sunnybank does have classes on Saturdays. There are also some weekend playgroups which are dad friendly - you could check out the Brisbane's Child website, or the Playgroup website (sorry I don't know how to put the links on).
