I was in HR for years (I swear, I am cool *despite* having been in HR) and asking different questions of single parents isn't right. Your children shouldn't even come up in conversation! If kids came up in an interview I would quickly say something like that's nice, but let's talk about the job we have available and your requirements for it.<BR/><BR/>And I have to add - that is a question even married women are asked. I had to coach managers all the time that they could not ask the women about childcare and not ask the men. So don't feel singled out!True Jersey Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15494338963360041438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604824.post-1120578463698924622005-07-05T08:47:00.000-07:002005-07-05T08:47:00.000-07:00D: Why are you the primary custodian?--Are they ev...D: Why are you the primary custodian?<BR/><BR/>--Are they even really ALLOWED to ask such things if it's not pertinent to your job?
