A Family Stress test
Give a score to your answer to the following statements:
0 ... if the statement is never true,
1 ... if it is rarely true,
2 ... if it is sometimes true,
3 ... if it is always true.
1._ Conversations often begin with "Put the gun down, and then we can talk".
2._ The school principal has your number on speed-dial.
3._ The cat is on Valium.
4._ People have trouble understanding your kids because they learned to speak through clenched teeth.
5._ You are trying to get your four-year-old to switch to decaff.
6._ The number of jobs held down by family members exceeds the number of people in the family.
7._ No one has _time_ to wait for microwave TV dinners.
8._ "Family meetings" are often mediated by law enforcement officials.

10._ Maxwell House gives you industrial rates.
Scoring:
30 -- a perfect score. Welcome to the neighborhood!
20-29 -- You are doing reasonably well, but still have too little going on in your life. Crank it up.
10-19 -- You have mastered some of the aspects of the stress-filled life, but still have a long way to go. Have you considered a parallel career path?
0-9 - Enjoying all that extra time? What do you _do_ anyway?
