Should I tell employers that i'm a mom during the interview?

Would this work against me? I feel like i should tell them in case my son gets sick and i have to stay home with him, but wouldn't this make me less attractive of a candidate for the job… do u think they will understand?

Hi Tara, You are not obligated to tell them, and employers can't ask (it's illegal), so I wouldn't bring it up.
Good luck with your interview! Marijoy

I'm not a mom myself yet, but I think that is something you could tell them after being hired. Most employers will be understanding of this.
