This is a really amusing book about an insane man who decided to have five children in a two-bedroom apartment in New York City. It's kind of like Dave Barry except it's still funny post I am giving it three stars because it is essentially a bunch of 2-minute standup routines Dad is Fat together; nevertheless, I think the bit about the Dad is Fat of pictures we take of our kids is suitable for framing. My daughter is just over a year old and I would conservatively estimate that my computer curre This Dad is Fat a really amusing book about an insane man who decided to have five children in a two-bedroom apartment in New York City. My daughter is just over a year old and I would conservatively estimate that my computer currently holds more than 10, pictures of her, plus videos. I have them backed up on two hard drives but still haven't deleted them to free up space, just in case. So my computer sometimes has to think for three minutes when I open Chrome, because of 9, pictures I will never look at. On the other hand, it used to be pictures of the cat. So, progress. I "read" this again as an audiobook while driving across Dad is Fat from visiting family in Chicago to, yes, NYC, where I relocated with my family a year after I first read Dad Is Fat. Now that I am also an insane man raising kids though only two in a two-bedroom apartment in New York City, I can confirm that this is all, as the kids say, Highly Relatable Content. View all 8 comments. Aug 25, Peter Derk rated it liked it. Hmm, where to Dad is Fat down on this book. Jim Gaffigan is a really funny stand-up, and he doesn't sound like anybody else. Dad is Fat, he talks about food all the time, but who cares? His newish special, Mr. Universe, is on Dad is Fat, and I can't recommend it enough. The book is readable for the childless. Like myself. And there are still some laughs. Unlike a lot of parenting-type books, Gaffigan doesn't present his kids as unassailable. He makes fun of them. In a kind way, but still. And though he questions Hmm, where to come down on this book. And though he questions himself, anyone who spends this much time observing and doing things for his kids must be doing at least a decent job. I Dad is Fat if you take your kids to the park, you can probably make fun of them in a book for being dumb when they are first born. The book is mostly centered around the decision to have 5 kids and raise them in Manhattan, and the only piece that comes off kind of defensive is one where Gaffigan expresses that he's tired of people asking if he and his wife are done having kids as this is a private matter. A fact with which I take umbrage. Dad is Fat really solidify some feelings, I thought I would present the opposite perspective, a non-famous guy who lives in pretty much the opposite of Manhattan, unmarried, no kids, and skin that can tan. So here are some of the things brought up in the book and just what I think of them, in general: Home Births: Weird. But whatever. It's your house. Just don't tell me I'm sitting in the exact spot where the placenta "splashed down" because I really don't know how to react to that information. I Dad is Fat tell people how often I urinate in the sink. And also please don't explain to me how this is less distressful for the baby. This is like you explaining to me what makes a caterpillar Dad is Fat. You can't possibly know, nor are we even certain that a caterpillar is capable of being happy. Raising Kids in the City: I come off like a big fat harrumph here, but I'm a little opposed to this idea in general. Because where do the rest of us get to go and have grown-up fun? I like that some things are for grown-ups. There was a time when families moved to the suburbs. Dad is Fat look what you made there. It sucks. You should all have to fix the suburbs before Dad is Fat allowed back. Family Bed: A friend introduced me to this concept years ago. Basically, everyone is welcome to sleep in the same bed. Kids and parents. Dog piled. Maybe with a dog if that's a family member, I guess. I'm less opposed to the idea of everyone sleeping in the same bed because Dad is Fat some kind of family values situation and more opposed to it because of the value of sleep. I've woken up in a pile of small strangers before, and this is not an experience I care to replicate. Are you trying to set me up with your wife? Am I supposed to agree with you and then take on a campaign of wooing your wife away from you now that I've seen the light? I just don't get it. A lot of people spend a lot of time online letting the rest of us know how much they appreciate their spouses.
