It could be a good time to find a big brother who would be willing to spend time with your son. Someone who would teach him about things boys like. My son lives with my daughter and me, which leaves him outnumbered. We love to watch girlly movies, shop, etc.. I try to make specific plans with him to do guy things. It is hard on me because I hate cars, electronics, etc. But I have made ways to make it fun for both of us. My son does see his dad but the truth is many boys find themselves lonely even in families with two parents. Fathers are not ususally as comfortable with kids and find themselves busy working more. However, I did coach my sons soccer team two years but after that it embarrassed him so a big brother might be better. It may just stop the questions if he is busy with someone else.

My niece is a single mother as well whose boyfriend walked out on them. He has come around a few times but isn't very responcible with her son so she tends to be glad when he doesn't come around. Her son is constantly praise by everyone about how smart and funny he is. He seems to feel good about those who are there for hiim.
