Awesome writing — I really enjoyed the humor! And yes, I have plenty of fat pants too. I’ll give away clothes and shoes without a second thought, but never the fat pants. 😄

A good pair of fat pants can really be there when you need them.

It’s when they start feeling a little snug that inspires me to get my act together.

This reminds me of my lovely caring kind daughter when I took them to get a milkshake: "why did you get a large peanut butter shake? You’re already fat."

As if I was working on a goal and reached it... no need to do more dad, you got it!! 😉

Amazing how kids can hand out a compliment, a life lesson, and a mild emotional wound all in the same sentence...

and still smile about it

You know it’s Fat Pants Season when you’re Googling “stretchy waistbands that still count as formalwear.” I’m not saying I’ve done that already 👀

There could be a market for that! Formal fat pants…

For when you need to look nice but will be binge eating enough food to make you grow 4 pant sizes.

That’s money! I believe this is our second invention. Shopping cart and now fancy fat pants.

We’re just out here solving dad problems one questionable invention at a time. Next up: cargo pockets for snacks and dignity. I can’t wait until you come up with some more we should definitely go into business with each other 😂 we will become broke!
