Not sure what kind of New York parent you are? Take our quiz and find out!
Remember when you first moved to NYC? You self-consciously styled yourself into the urban “type” you felt suited you best: the Club Kid. The Starving Artist. The Young Professional. Now that you’ve had a child (congrats, by the way!), the self-reinvention begins again. Will you be the kind of parent who co-sleeps and breast-feeds on demand? Will you finally get a nine-to-five job, or just try harder to get your band signed? Fortunately, we live in the most diverse town in the world (isn’t that one reason you wanted to start a family here?), so you can be any kind of mom or dad you choose. Nevertheless, there are a few parenting styles that dominate the city scene. Stereotypes, yes. But whether you want to admit it, you’ll no doubt see yourself in one or more of the following species. So find your type, check out the shops and services that suit you best, and revel in how this city caters to us all.
