Would you be nervous to sit down with your grown child and ask what you got right—and where you blew it as a dad? Jim Ramos has shared openly about what he believes he did wrong as a father… but this time, you get to hear it straight from the son who lived it.
In this unique series, Jim is bringing in each of his three sons to analyze the good, bad and ugly of his parenting. Today, Jim sits down with his Middle son, Darby Ramos, for a candid, behind-the-scenes look at life growing up in the Ramos home. Together, they dig into the moments that shaped Darby's character, the parenting moves Jim nailed, and the areas where he fell short.
