Say you're a dutiful son who works in the family business and always covers weekend shifts--kind of a drag if you have a wife and kids at home. When you go to talk to Dad, start by saying yes to your own interests (my family needs me), then move on to your no (I can't work weekends anymore) and finish up by saying yes to your relationship with Dad (together, let's figure out how we can get the work done...

...since I’m the second child they’ve put through Harvard, they already know way too much about the college and what to expect. The problem with this? You got it. I can’t lie to them. For example: “Mom, Dad, I got a bad grade in this class but only because it’s like, the hardest course at Harvard.” “That’s a little hard for us to buy, son.
