When I interviewed for a job recently, the interviewing department asked whether I planned to have another kid in the next few years. It was a casual question, and not part of the official interview, but I knew that if I said yes, I would be kissing that job offer good-bye.
Intriguing. At my company, it's made very clear to us that asking someone about things like "are you thinking of having [more] kids?" is begging for a lawsuit if we don't make them an offer, and thus we should NEVER EVER go anywhere near such topics.
