尝试开辟新沟通方式: 给家人写年终评估报告

My husband has a stack of year-end reviews on his desk-reviews from his bosses, reviews by his peers, reviews of his staff. And then there's one from me.

A couple with adult children makes their review a full-family affair, with a psychologist on hand in case the conversation gets heated. In explaining why he conducts reviews at home, a friend said, 'Sometimes I think we're more honest with people at work than we are with our own family.'
