Letter to My ChildrenDear Children,I am your dad. The father of all five of you pale creatures. Given how attractive and fertile your mother is, there may be more of you by the time you read this book. If you are reading this, I am probably dead. I would assume this because I can honestly foresee no other situation where you’d be interested in anything I’ve done. Right now, you are actually more interested in preventing me from doing things like working, sleeping, and smiling. I’m kidding, of course. Kind of. I love you with all of my heart, but you are probably the reason I’m dead.All right, you didn’t kill me. Your mother did. She kept getting pregnant! I don’t know how. Don’t think about it. It will give you the willies. At one point, I was afraid she got pregnant while she was pregnant. She was so fertile I didn’t even let her hold avocados. Anyway, this is a book all about what I observed being your dad when you were very young and I had some hair back in good old 2013.So why a book? Well, since you’ve come into my life, you’ve been a constant source of entertainment while simultaneously driving me insane. I felt I had to write down my observations about you in a book. And also for money, so you could eat and continue to break things. By the way, I’m sorry I yelled so much and did that loud clapping thing with my hands. I hated when my dad would do the loud clapping thing with his hands, so every time I do the loud clapping thing, it pains me in many ways. Most of the pain is because that loud clapping thing actually hurts my hands.You may be wondering how I wrote this book. From a very early age, you all instinctively knew I wasn’t that bright of a guy. Probably from all the times you had to correct me when I couldn’t read all the words in The Cat in the Hat. Hell, I find writing e‑mails a chore. (Thank you, spell-check!) I wrote this book with the help of many people, but mostly your mother. Your mother is not only the only woman I’ve ever loved, but also the funniest person I know. When your mom was not in labor yelling at me, she made me laugh so hard.Love,DadP.S. How did you get that hula hoop into that restaurant Easter 2011?

I share the views of the other reviewers who gave this book three stars. It's mildly amusing, but what may be amusing in a 10- or even 20- or 30-minute stand-up routine becomes tedious in a more or less full-length book. On reflection, I'd have been better off listening to a recording of Mr. Gaffigan's routine. The book also does become preachy, though I'm more sympathetic to his grousing about how it's nobody's business but his (and his wife's) how many children he has. Basically, I'm at a loss as to why he wrote it, though with five kids a bit more income will always come in handy.
I don't even have kids and I'm a woman, but I laughed through the entire book! I've always loved Jim's sense of humor and have seen him perform live several times. This book easily lives up to all my expectations. I really admire comedians who know how to make people laugh from their bellies without having to stoop to sexist, dirty, racist, religious or other jokes aimed at downgrading selected groups of people. I also appreciate that Jim truly loves being married and a father yet still can see the benefits of a child-free life and some of the "cult-like" or neurotic behaviors some parents can exhibit from time-to-time (including himself). This book was such a pleasure to read that I gave copies to friends and family members who also laughed their way through it. Enjoy this fun read!
Since I became a mother I got interested in books about people's experiences as parents, and soon found out they're all the same. Well, Dad is fat is a different one, with clever insights that are dead on. It starts to decline towards the end, as if Jim is justifying to the world his decision of having five children, and it ends up becoming a "diary", but I enjoyed the first half, let's say, so much that I felt the five stars are well deserved.
This is gaffigan gold here. It makes parenting feel more enjoyable when the going gets tough. His perspective and sense of humor are so clear and hilarious. I can hear his voice as I read it. A must for parents who feel tired and stressed out.
Read at your own risk cuz you just might overtax your laugh lines. I’m a parent with “grown kids†and I feel like Jim’s funny and true comments finally vaporized my languishing parental guilt...forgetting to pick up my child from school once, discovering I couldn’t play with my toddler for too long because he had the attention span of a two year old (which he was) or lying about why the tooth fairy missed the anticipated tooth-to-money switch and would probably double down the next night. Gaffigan’s observations are universal truths and I’ve already recommended this book to my grown children. The truth will set them free!
This book made me laugh out loud so many times on the train, I'm sure people thought I was nuts. I love Jim Gaffigan because he can be funny without being raunchy, insulting, or obnoxious. He talks a lot about raising kids in this book, and I found it hysterical even though I don't have kids. It's very easy to relate to what he writes about and he's always funny. The book talks about things like how difficult it is to take 5 kids to the park when you live in NYC, how ridiculous and scary some fairy tale books are, how it's impossible to feed 5 kids all healthy foods, how different it is to raise kids today compared to when he was growing up, the embarrassing things his kids say in public, etc. He does it all with a refreshing humor that will make you laugh out loud. Recommended for anyone with a good sense of humor who wants a fast, entertaining read.
I don't have kids. I know nothing about being a parent, but I know I love Jim Gaffigan.If you haven't ever seen Jim Gaffigan at a show or on TV then you are missing some serious, gut wrenching laughter to be had. This book is no exception. It was filled with hilarious stories and observations about being a parent.The book was much more serious then I expected and pretty much solely about being a parent. I expected a few dad centered stories but mostly a book filled with his stand-up bits. What I got instead was a much more profound book. Jim Gaffigan speaks from his heart about why he loves his family and how much they mean to him.Before you read this book you will love Jim Gaffigan's jokes, but after reading this book you will love Jim Gaffigan as a person.
I'm going to assume that if you're reading this review then you already know who Jim Gaffigan is. Even if you don't know, you will still enjoy this book especially if you are a parent. You should definitely spend your money on this book. You should buy multiple copies and give them to your friends. If you have a friend that's blind or you know someone that can't read that well there's always the audio version that you can purchase. This book will make you laugh so much that you cancel your antidepressant prescription and become a useful part of society again.
Very funny! I didn't know Gaffigan and I still have no idea what "the hot pockets guy" means but this guy's sense of self-deprecation and his humorous outlook on his self-induced misery is really laugh-out-loud funny. It's all self-induced too, each new addition to the family an "Oops! moment"... and the most heart-warming part is when he lets us know it's HIS life, HIM the one inconvenienced, so we can stop passing judgement already. This guy apparently makes enough $$$ to handle it, sort of, and it's obvious he does love his kids. He never forgets his wife either and another reviewer claimed it reads like a "love letter", but I say it's a very carefully thought out tactic to kiss ass to keep getting away with not doing chores.
