I don't read all the junk. I joke if I did, I wouldn't get out of bed in the morning. But, Sometimes the comments over the top - really ugly. Many of them are critical of my looks, like the one that criticized my thunder thighs. I get that a lot. Some of the tweets are too vulgar to repeat.

We have rules in the house and a sticker chart for my kids to earn technology time.

The most important thing is to teach kids to stand firm in what they believe and not be swayed by detractors no matter what the subject matter.
