Student afraid to tell parents about side job

DEAR HARRIETTE: I've started working in nightlife, and it makes perfect sense for my schedule. I'm a full-time student during the week, and I rack up a lot of tips on the weekend by working the bar at a popular nightclub. I need to have a job to help pay for my expenses. But it's a little tricky. When my parents ask me what I'm doing to make money, I tell them that I am a waitress. It is hard for me to be honest with them. As much as I hate to admit it, I would like them to approve of what I do. I don't see them approving of this. Should I tell them about my nightclub job? -- Side Hustle

DO JUST ONE

•Do you have a drawer full of mustard, ketchup, lemon juice or mayo condiment packets, and you're not sure what to do with them? Toss a few into the freezer and let them get icy cold. The next time you need a small cold compress to soothe an insect bite or bee sting, or you just need to depuff the bags under your eyes, grab a few frozen condiment packets. You can use them over and over again as your quick homemade first-aid remedy.
