Dad is Fat

Book • 2013
In Dad Is Fat, Jim Gaffigan shares self-deprecating stories from his life as a father outnumbered by his five children and wife Jeannie in a two-bedroom Manhattan walk-up.

With his signature deadpan humor, he explores parenting absurdities like sleep deprivation, mealtime battles, potty training, and feeling powerless compared to his wife's natural instincts, while affirming his deep love for his family despite the exhaustion.
