Summary

Dad Is Fat audiobook by Jim Gaffigan is the first book by the popular comedian Jim Gaffigan. The book is based on his experiences and perils of raising his five children in New York. The title of his book is drawn from a sentence scrawled in messy, childish handwriting by one of his sons.

The author goes on to share his trials and triumphs of raising his five children in a two-bedroom apartment in New York along with his wife Jeanie. Gaffigan goes on to say that he did not have any training or instincts on being a father and raising children. The book is a collection of sixty short essays on the subjects which range from pregnancy from a husband’s point of view to other finer nuisances of child rearing.

Most of the essays in his book seem like responses to some of the most common questions which people ask the author about his family. People also ask whether he and his wife are done with having children. The author also shares how many parents feel the nagging guilt as they are unable to meet the high expectations of other or sometimes of their own. Gaffigan says that no matter how hard one tries, they can always do better as a parent. The author also claims that each of his children and raising them has made him into a better person. The author also says that the book is not a guide on raising children as he himself is quite novice in this.
