[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does he want more or are you projecting your issues on to him? [b]Why are others responsible for preventing your child's loneliness? [/b]We don't spend all our weekends with friends. Weekends are mostly family time with an occasional friend thing.[/quote]

OP never suggested that. This sounds like a comment that would come from someone who's a bit sensitive about their lack of focus beyond themselves and their own, failing/not wanting to reach out to someone else because they don't need to.[/quote]

Your own comment seems to imply it's my responsibility to reach out to someone who is not "my own". I think the assumption that everyone organizes weekends with lots of friend hangouts is incorrect.[/quote]

No. Especially in the teenage years, parents aren't doing all the social organizing.
My implication is merely that your comment implies a lack of empathy or care and no desire to even consider being kind and reaching out to another kid or family who might appreciate the offer. You're not obligated and the OPs' son's loneliness is not your responsibility -- and again, nobody suggested it is. Just sad, imo, that you are quick to take that interpretation and seem to lack any sense of generosity toward another's plight.[/quote]
