THE WORKING CLASS LADY

Women are taught to be independent
women, but not how to be wives and
mothers. And men are taught how to be
providers, but not how to be husbands
and fathers. Somewhere along the way, it
was supposed to just “click.” But we didn’t
realize that being successful in school and
a career require a completely different set
of skills than being in a relationship. Here
are a few tips to help bridge the gap!
1. Your accolades at work and school are
self-serving. Being in a relationship is
about serving someone else.
2. Being the BOSS in your career doesn’t
make you the BOSS of your relationship,
and your MASTERS degree doesn’t make
you a
3. MASTER of your mate. Marriage is a
partnership not dictatorship.
4. The same amount of time & effort you
invest in your career must be invested
into your mate and family as well.
5. Your career won’t always be the
priority…. your mate and family need to
be as well, and may sometimes trump that
career.
6. Ladies even if you have to be hard and
aggressive and assertive at work, your
man needs you to be soft, nurturing and
supportive at home. Be his place of peace
not war.
7. Your successes in your career don’t
make up for your failures at home.
8. Your manager doesn’t live with you,
your supervisor doesn’t s*x you, and your
CEO doesn’t cook or clean for you…. so
leave your frustration with them AT
WORK! Don’t take your anger out on your
mate.
Your children value your time way more
than your money.
9. The people at work love being with you
when you can do something for them, the
people at home just love being with you
period.
10. The same way you protect the “brand”
and image of your company… you should
protect the brand of your family. Every
decision you make represents them as
well.
The skills and mindset you used to become
successful in your education and your
career are great skills, but when you
decide to be in a relationship or marriage
you may just need to go back to school.
Having a Masters in business won’t help
you if you make F’s in communication
skills at home. Being a CEO at your
company won’t help you if you have no
training in compromise. Making six figures
wont help you if you are bankrupt in the
service of others department. Being a
leader in your company won’t help if you
can’t lead by example in your household.
