Problem: How to deal with your parents keeping secrets as an adult
Choose an appropriate time to talk.
If you want to have a serious conversation with your parents about keeping secrets, you should broach the topic when your parents are not busy. It would be difficult to have an important and meaningful conversation when your parents are preoccupied with another task. OPTIONS:
- Make sure that there are not many distractions at the moment so you can approach them confidently. Pick a time when you know your parents cannot see you (like the middle of the day) and don't be rushed.
- A good time may be when your parents are with friends or working, but it's a good time when you can be clear that something is bothering them. Tell your parents what is bothering you.
- For example, ask your parents to go on a walk or go for a car ride. This will allow you to have their undivided attention and will give you an opportunity to talk with them about your feelings.
- Instead, try to talk at a time when you and your parents are able to have a serious conversation. Choose a time when neither of you are busy with important obligations such as school or work.

Answer: For example, ask your parents to go on a walk or go for a car ride. This will allow you to have their undivided attention and will give you an opportunity to talk with them about your feelings.

Problem: How to break up
Avoid making a rash decision.
It's important to consider your decision when you are not emotionally upset and able to think clearly. This can help you avoid making an impulsive decision that you may regret or hurt the other person. OPTIONS:
- If you are unable to sort out your emotions well, it is best to be as honest as possible in your decision. After you have made a decision to break up with your partner, talk to your partner about your choices, and decide if you want to end the relationship or not.
- For example, if you find yourself high up in a building and come down gracefully, you may not be able to get there before your feelings are too high. Before making a rash decision, give yourself some time to reflect on the situation and figure out what you are going to say ahead of time.
- It's more difficult to problem solve when you are emotionally upset, and this may contribute to irrational decisions. Clarify why you want to break up.
- Brainstorm over your decision and make a choice. Draw a dotted line down the center of your rash and use that line to trace out the post-breakup scenario with more detail.

Answer: It's more difficult to problem solve when you are emotionally upset, and this may contribute to irrational decisions. Clarify why you want to break up.

Problem: How to make whipped topping
Chill your tools and ingredients.
Place a large glass or metal bowl in the refrigerator about an hour before making your whipped cream. Refrigerate a pair of metal beaters from a hand mixer as well. OPTIONS:
- You will blend the mixture to form a thick cream drizzle. Keep a metal spoon handy in case you start to accidentally lose the whipped cream as you cool off.
- Keep your cream refrigerated right up until the moment you plan to make your whipped cream. Chilling the equipment before making the whipped cream will make it easier to incorporate air into the cream.
- Freeze your ingredients in the refrigerator for about four hours. Firm enough to resist the use of pressure, but frozen at room temperature.
- Transfer the ice cream from the bowl into the freezer for 30 to 60 minutes. Try adding some fresh berries if you're using berries.
Answer: Keep your cream refrigerated right up until the moment you plan to make your whipped cream. Chilling the equipment before making the whipped cream will make it easier to incorporate air into the cream.
