Just prioritize and schedule. I put all kids school stuff on calendar when it is released in July or when the sports seasons are announced. I don't make every event, but I think that is good for them. My kids know they are important, but not the only thing in my life. However, when I say I'm going to do something, it happens.

My boyfriend lost his mother few months ago. It was very unexpected. How can I support him going forward ? He talks way less as he’s slowly realizing she’s gone and he’s very sad.

Any advice is appreciated, thank you.

ADVISOR FUEL - BEWARE OF THEM

I've an extremely unpleasant experience with this company. We sent them a legal notice and my lawyer even lodged a compliant with the Florida Attorney General but in vein. These people don't bother about legal notices as they know most advisors don't have time and wherewithal to go to litigation.

Due to limitation of space I can't write in detail, but please contact me if you like to know my entire experience with ADVISOR FUEL. Don't fall prey to their tactics.
