How much did your family like you getting angry or crying when your feelings were hurt?

I was talking to one of the women I’m training to be a coach this morning.

How to stop being a jerk magnet.

How to stop being a jerk magnet. How to stop being a jerk magnet. I have a secret guilty pleasure and that is watching The Bachelor series. I know, I know, most of the time it is just a train wreck of ridiculously attractive men and women who have low self-esteem and very little depth to them.

Call me a Pollyanna, but I am truly shocked about the recent news of congressman Anthony Weiner’s alleged indecent pictures posted on Twitter. If an adult who is a position of power and influence can act that way what can you expect of your hormonal tween? It certainly gives parents an opportunity to review their ‘online media rules’ with their children. If you are a family that does not have rules in place, now may be the perfect time to mention your concerns and establish media rules for your household.

Why Are Men So Stupid? It really is a good question to ask, “Why are men so stupid?” and of course the context is when it comes to sex. Why do men like Rep.
