Downsizing Dad

Downsizing Dad is a humorous description of the many frustrating experiences separated fathers face as they try to continue to parent their children through separation and divorce. Ostensibly presented both as a warning and as tongue-in-cheek advice, Downsizing Dad describes the divorced father largely by ridiculing his ineptitude as he naively bumbles about, trying to find his way in a suddenly changed world. In doing so, however, Downsizing Dad makes a powerful statement about the critical role fathers play in the care and nurturing of their children. Downsizing Dad also mocks the discrimination fathers are subjected to and is harshly critical of those who make their living advocating for excluding responsible and loving fathers from the lives of their children. Downsizing Dad is both hilarious satire and powerful social commentary.
