Just that really!
DS has never been one for doing anything with friends over the years - has never met up with friends at weekends or in the holidays.
In terms of hobbies, I have always tried to find him things to do and he has gone to various classes over the years. Still does go to one activity but unfortunately all adults other than him so again no route to new friends.
My problem atm is this - at the weekends he just basically sits round the house bored. Other than play on xbox and do any homework he has, he literally does nothing - all weekend. It's starting to get on my nerves to be honest. He'lll happilly come places with me at the weekend, but it's starting to get a bit ridiculous at his age to just be spending all his weekend with mum.
I don't have this problem with his sibling and I have no idea what to do about it.
He does well at school and there are no obvious developmental problems.
