Polar Vortex To Grip The Nation, What Does This Mean For Washington State?

Rik and Patti:

I recently had a run in with another parent at my child's school. My child and other kids had just completed a band performance and were filing out when my kid asked me how she did. I was honest and told her I thought she was just average.

Another parent pulled me aside and told me that I need to be more encouraging and positive otherwise I'll wreck my kid’s confidence and she'll hate me. I told her I was being honest and never sugarcoat.

She says you have to sugarcoat and that it's okay to tell your kid a white lie to boost their confidence. I disagree. Was I right or wrong in the way I answered my kid?

Rik and Patti:

My boyfriend proposed to me two weeks ago. This should be the happiest time of my life, but instead my friends and family are warning me not to marry him because he's been married four times before. They say he's a loser.

I told them that they don't know him and that he has never met a woman like me.

They say being married four times is a red flag. Should I adhere to their advice and the fact that he's been married four times or ignore it and follow my own path? Would you marry him if you were me? Should I follow my heart or my head?
