No. Your personal life has nothing to do with an employer's needs. There's a reason it's "illegal" to ask people their age, marital status or if they have kids. Do not offer up anything personal.

I don't tell them unless there's something pertinent to it.
I asked in an interview what hour expectations were for the RTO days? I mentioned that I would need to leave by a certain time on somedays to get my kid from daycare but can easily jump back online and do some later hours to make up.
They understood and the recruiter mentioned they do the same. Eventually they passed on me for someone who was laid off from W+K (friend at that shop let me know who filled the role).
I like to bring it up if they mention their kids-helps you find common ground
This is the only time I bring it up ☝️
In my experience it can only hurt you. On one hand they see an employee with more important (family) commitments. On the other some thing they can treat you like shit because you need the job more than a single person. For years, sad as it is, I didn’t even keep family photos on my desk.
No, under no circumstances is it EVER okay to tell your employer that you have children. Be a professional and keep that shit to yourself.
I once had an informational chat with a manager/family man, who was upset that he once hired a family man.
I just had a child as well and just got my first gig after getting laid off before she was born. After countless interviews every time I mentioned I had a new born, I didn’t get the job. Use every edge you can get.
