Where is his dad in this? Maybe he’s really craving a male bonding moment?[/quote]

They have some relationship, but not super close.  They see each other every other weekend or so.  It's not a hostile relationship, they get food and game a bit.  I don't get the sense that DS wants to see him more often.  My ex doesn't live in our school district, and DS doesn't have friends near where my ex lives.  I don't think my ex is a terrible guy or a deadbeat, but also not necessarily someone who is really into being a dad.  [/quote]
I think it sounds really sweet that he wants this special time with your dad. Especially if he isn't as close with his dad as some boys, it may just be that he's craving a different (/better?) male role model, and just wants to spend some time with him.

You say your ex isn't a bad guy, but he may not be a very engaged father or parental figure. Your dad could be providing this for him and he's unconsciously associating the two of them. Not a bad thing if your dad is a good guy![/quote]
