It happens. Fathers and sons have different interests.
My grandfather loved hunting. My father would go with him, but didn't like it as much as my grandfather did. My father eventually stopped going hunting altogether. I would go hunting with my grandfather every chance I got.
My father's thing is fishing. He would gladly go on those week long fishing trips with you. I've never been on a week long fishing trip. Heck, three days is too much for me. Yet, I went fishing today by myself. Fished four hours and came home. People are just different.
Don't feel like you've failed because you haven't. However, I would definitely try to find other ways to spend time with my son. The important thing is the time we spend together, not what we spent it doing.
