[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 331571, member: 7083"] Finding out later about difficult child is always possible. However, it does not change the fact that it is and was a "pressing family matter". They don't need to know the details. There is so much ignorance about these things and he doesn't know you from Adam. Once you get your foot in the door, show them you're responsible, dependable and loyal employee they should be willing to accommodate you. And even at that point, I wouldn't go into details. "difficult child has been had some struggles", "difficult child made some poor choices and is working on getting on the right path", or some such thing is enough. I've been burned by giving out too much information - trying to be completely honest with my employers (after I was already employed and on good standing) because I felt it was the right thing to do. And it backfired every time. If I were doing it now, I would keep it short and not give details. I wouldn't outright lie, but everyone doesn't need to know everything, Know what I mean?? [/QUOTE]
