I get that, not trying to down play the significance of it. I am an only child as well, had plenty of friends and played sports my entire life. I believe he gravitates towards what the Doc places an importance on and that is his studies, religion and being bi-lingual. She never played sports, neither did her XH, so the kid thus far has had no desire to do anything outside of swimming lessons and cub scouts. He also won't do anything competitive as he can't stand loosing.
If it was me I make his butt do something. When my girls started playing sports I told them to pick but they were not going to just sit around and do nothing. Part of the issue is her and not wanting to sacrifice what free time she has to take him to games on Saturdays or have her, Grandma or the Nanny shuttle him around.
Honestly.......I don't think any of this was really on her radar screen until she started dating me. I just think all of them were in this sheltered little bubble just doing their own thing.
