Since our daughter arrived, my son and I have lost the time we used to have together. Weekends revolve around her naps, and he has drifted into his room. I would like one fixed Saturday morning outing with him, two or three hours, before it gets too hot. He likes cycling, food and anything with a scoreboard. He does not like 'nature walks', his words. We're in Gachibowli but happy to drive. Suggestions?
With two teenagers and my shifts, the one outing that has lasted for us is a 6.30 badminton court booking with breakfast afterwards. The court gives you a scoreboard; the breakfast is why they turn up. Book it a few weeks ahead, otherwise it gets dropped the first lazy Saturday.
the new cycling track along the ORR. go early. we did it twice, she complained both times and then asked to go again
Seconding the cycling track, it's very close to you. Go before 7 though, it gets warm quickly now. My son and I went once in March and he's been asking to go back since. It's lovely that you're making this time for him ❤️
If he likes keeping score, try a bowling alley right at opening time on a Saturday. It's nearly empty, and you can keep a running total for the month. Breakfast in the old city afterwards, if you don't mind the drive.
speaking as the person at home with the baby: please take him out. the house will survive three hours without you. so will the baby
Keep going
