Op - I would second the idea of some therapy for yourself because perhaps there are other areas of your life that you do not even realize are bothering you.  You may have shifted some things that have or have not happened to you in comparison with peers to the next natural topic of talking about kids.

If your son is young it may take time for him to really develop and hone in on an interest(s), skill  that he will enjoy for himself.  You have the luxury of being able to afford expose your son to many things so continue to do so but without over load.  There are so many wonderful things to get to do in the DC area.  Also as he gets older it may well be that both you and your husband find that he will share your interests in such things as travel, learning skills together such as tennis,  golf, sailing, kayaking, etc.  Being an only child encourage him to get involved in activities with other kids such as scouting which is non-specific and develops many aspects of a person.  Working with him toward the Eagle Scout badge - without pressure - could certainly be one positive endeavor for Dad and son together.

If your son is well regarded all around by teachers and peers at any age that is a wonderful basis upon which to build a life time. If he is learning at the rate suited to his abilities, then again wonderful.   You - and possibly your husband - need to deal with your feeling now so that you do not set your son up for failure in his own eyes and then issues developing from that.[/quote]
