Resume After Being a SAHM
How would you address the employment gap on your resume? So far, I have nothing on my resume, but I note that I have been a stay-at-home mother for the past two years on my cover letter. Recently I saw a resume someone else had written that included a stay-at-home mother line with dates, but I had never heard of doing this before.
After I saw that, I started to wonder if there will be cases when the cover letter and resume are separated or not read well, and if that happens it looks as if I lost my job two years ago.

ITA. As a recruiter I can say we usually pass on the ones left blank. So some explaination is welcome.

Most that I review leave a gap, then just explain it in person.
