Could it help or hurt your mom in the hiring process? I, for one, am all about full disclosure, but there's a right place and time for that. I agree with your dad that family is something she should be proud of -- and a family is probably the greatest accomplishment one can name -- but perhaps taking your advice into consideration as well, it might be wise to suggest she tailor her answers so that the details are kept to herself until specifically asked. I'm not in HR, so I'm eager to hear what those in the field have to say on the matter. Best of luck to your family.

Best of luck to your family.
