Should i include in my personal profile on my cv that i'm a parent ?

The question wouldn't arise on an application form and is another example of why c.v's rarely meet equality legislation.
Large organisations will go out of their way to instruct candidates not to include a cv in the process (in saying that, I saw an organisation with a cv upload section that had to be included - a large homeless charity  )

I used to work for a local authority.  CVs attached to the 'official' application form, were removed from the form and not given to those who were shortlisting - it meant there was a level playing field.

The status of having kids may have pros and cons, but the practicalities of operating a business could lead to issues,

For example, I would be a bit miffed if I took someone on and then they turned up at work and said they needed special consideration because they have to fetch their kids from school every day.

Just don't. You have soft skills from being a parent, absolutely, but they DO NOT outweigh the likelihood that you will at times be required to prioritise your child over your job. The manager has zero interest in your personal life and quite frankly does not want to know. They are, during the hiring process, trying to picture you in the role, how you'll fit in at the office, will you get along with the other staff and understand the work culture etc. What you do after hours is irrelevent and distracting. Don't put it in your CV and don't mention it at interview either. If you think they want to know you as a human because a CV usually contains a hobbies section - eye-opener for you, these should also be censored so that they are relevent to the position or display a positive trait. For instance, video games = bad, unless you're going into game design; fitness hobbies = great, unless you're a rally car driver or a boxer (risky, violent). Honesty is great but that doesn't mean you have to tell them the things that won't help you.

Yeah - hobbies can be a minefield too so I just don't mention any. It will either make you look too boring or someone with too many extracurricular distractions.

I cift thousands of applications, I'm trying to think when this has ever been put on a CV that I've noticed and I honestly can't think of even 1.
I do remember an interview being told their child was going through chemo but that he had hospital dates in advance and he was checking how much notice he would have to give for appointments etc so I think that might be closest to this scenario.
