Single parent to one child - advice?
I am a single parent to a 10 year old boy.
I work full time and he sees his dad every other weekend.
I had my son when I was young, none of my friends have kids, or the more distant friends have babies.
Although I have good friends and family I feel very alone, find it hard to have the motivation to think of things for me and my son to do when I am off work and constantly worry that he is not socialising with children of his ages. Feel stuck and wanted some advice on how to get out of this. I don't know any of the mums at the school as I work and no one I know has children of the same age....

Have you looked at groups in your area for kids his age? Sometimes you might find free ones. Also, maybe you guys could do some mother/son bonding things. Maybe come up with something that is your guys thing and it would be something you could do once a week or once a month, if that's more manageable.

He doesn't need anything expensive, just your love and time. Cuddle with him, have him help you make dinner, read together, go to the park and let him play (where he'll be able to socialize with other kids). Sing to him an easy lullaby when you're tired.

Your son will socialize in time. What's important is that you make the effort to bond with your son as much as possible. If he has a grandfather, have him spend time with him. It will help your son to be more comfortable around both genders of people.
