Q:
Anna did not want to tell her parents that she took a part-time job during her freshman year in college. Her parents were concerned about her academic and social adjustment to college, so they told her not to work until her junior year. Anna, however, wanted some extra spending money in college, and it seemed everyone else in her residence hall had a part-time job. She applied and was hired as a part-time waitress at a local restaurant near campus. Anna liked her boss, the hours and tips were good, and she found she could keep up with her school work if she worked only ten hours per week. All was going well until late October when the restaurant's main water pipe broke and the restaurant needed to close for a few days. In the manager's attempt to reach Anna and warn her about the sudden closure, he called her parents' phone number (the listing for emergency contacts) and talked to Anna's mother. Anna's secret was out. Her mother immediately called Anna and asked, "Is there something you think you should tell me?" How common is Anna's behavior, and should her mother be worried about her relationship with her daughter?
