These days, family-run businesses are finding it a struggle to survive -- and that can raise familial tensions. How do you lay off a relative, or turn down a job request from your son or daughter? Read Ruth Mantell's Diary of a Recession Baby for more on some of the tough-love tactics that family businesses are forced to adopt in these difficult economic times. With the latest job-market data looking relatively grim, family firms may find the tensions rising. Then again, tension is pretty easy to find anywhere you look these days. -- Andrea Coombes, Personal Finance editor SMALL BUSINESSRecession brings tough love to family firms
Expecting Mom and Dad to set you up with a cushy job in the family business? Not so fast. In this economy, some family firms are finding themselves forced to turn down job requests from relatives, and business owners are laying off family members and longtime trusted employees because of the length of the downturn.

| Personal finance predictions for 2010: ID theftID theft is set to rise on the heels of the recessionBy Jay MacDonaldLike wolves to injured prey, identity thieves are out to turn the recession struggles of average Americans to their own advantage. "In my adult life, I've never seen more varations of old scams and the degree of sophistication in newer scams," says Robert Siciliano, CEO of IDTheftSecurity.com.
