So this weekend I found out that my favorite bar in NY is now childfree. Being a parent I can only have time to go to a bar during the day, with my kid. they have a swell backyard. 😕

The problem with kids in a bar is suddenly your experience becomes my experience. The longer you are there increases the odds that you're no longer watching them and yet everyone else is watching. Sigh.

No matter how hard I try I just can't feel sorry for you OP. Not everyone wants to be around your kid, dog, mom whatever it is. This reminds me a bit of those people who claim their dogs are emotional support animals just to be able to bring them on airplanes and or have them in pet-free buildings. Respect people's business, space and time–just like you'd want them to respect yours. You have a child (who's probably awesome) go where you're welcome and don't be an entitled parent. You can do it. 🌹👍🏻

Now tell me where this bar is so I can go relax.

It's funny that i mention bar bar and people assume that I'm a drunk and I drag my kid to a dive bar. When I go to a bar I usually go to a place with a backyard where I have no more than 3 beers and play shufflelboard or cornhole with other well behave adults. I'm no williamsburg hipster milenial you dumbasses.

Every ounce of sympathy that I had for OP just went out the window with that last response. OP is a hopeless cause sounding pretty entitled.

@OP you hate New York because people are so entitled that they don’t want kids at bars? Are you listening to yourself? Bars are for adults. Bring your kid to a restaurant, they also serve beer. If you’re allowed to smoke on the patio, should everyone also not smoke because your kid wants to play outside? This is the dumbest argument ever. You had a child, which means your life changes. Open a kid friendly bar. You’d make a killing

I agree, parents should be able to travel, eat, have fun. Usually if the kid starts acting out that’s usually when it’s time to leave and teach them the consequences. No need to stomp all over the OP without knowing much.

If you like well behaved kids, you should be okay with kids in bars. Parents who take their kids to bars and do normal things with them instead of relegating them to kids play groups are they parents who raise kids who can act well around adults. If you like well behaved kids, you should support more kids in bars not less

Good for the bar.

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book

During interview I was speaking to the hiring manager. Felt interview was going well. He seemed impressed by my answers, excited by my skills, and even gave me a tour of the office. At the end, he asked about my home life. When I spoke of my 3 young kiddos, the manager got a little taken back and replied Oh you have children? I said yes ages 3, 5, and 7. He then proceeded to ask me about daycare arrangements and if I can be reliable. Red flag as his demeanor changed and made me feel unworthy.

My company historically paid base comp and bonus based on years out of law school. Level 1 is 1-9, and Level 2 is 10+. Diff if $50k+, easily. My team’s work isn’t distributed any differently based on seniority, and we’re all doing the same subject matter. We have a new GC changing it so bonus can be higher (but not lower) if you take on more work.
