literally one of the first things "they tell you" (it's common knowledge).

I wasn’t told, or maybe didn’t take it seriously enough.
They may be suspicious as in they ask, but as soon as you say it was to raise a child it will be fully answered without issue
can’t believe the number of comments talking like this… the only way I would work for an employer like this is if my kid and wife were hungry and I had no other choice. without my family I wod rather be homeless than work for an employer like this (and yes, they are in a majority).

My companies (YCR and then Google) have been nothing but supportive of my family. But yes, I maybe dodged many bullets in my job search.
What they don't tell you is that employers are suspicious if you are out of the job market for more than a year. And anyways, no, it doesn't make sense to stay at home and raise your kid, just pay for the childcare and get back to work as soon as possible. And they wonder why birthrate is tanking...
