Did we mention he’s a dad of five?
This past weekend, my husband and I hunkered down on the sofa with snacks and binge-watched Jim Gaffigan stand-up comedy shows on Netflix. You’re right; it was awesome. He’s hil-arious! And I thought so even before I learned Gaffigan is a dad of five!
Yes, you read that right. The comedian and his wife Jeannie have five children: Patrick, 3; Michael, 5; Katie, 7; Jack, 10; and Marre, 12.
But lest you think the funnyman has fatherhood down to a science given all that practice, Gaffigan told People magazine that, actually, “Parenting is all about making mistakes and dealing with a certain level of guilt.”
Can’t say I disagree with you, Jim. I feel guilty right now because my kids are eating lollipops before breakfast. Oops. At least I’m not alone in feeling fairly inadequate as a parent sometimes. (Okay, a lot of the time.)
15 Hilarious Truths About Parenting, According to Comedian Jim Gaffigan
Gaffigan, who has talked about living in a two-bedroom New York City apartment with his brood, may have made his fair share of mistakes, but he also has an important gem of wisdom to offer newer fathers: “When the baby comes, there’s gonna come a moment where your wife or girlfriend’s gonna be like, ‘I’m starving.'” So, make sure you have food, dads! Gaffigan adds, “After a woman gives birth, there’s a hunger I always found fascinating.”
