Beware of Floating

Your Momma never told you...to beware of floating.

I know several women who are looking for their soulmate....looking for that man that will sweep them off their feet and lift all their burdens. You're probaby thinking I am going to say he does not exist...but he does. You will meet someone who will do all those things and more...you will be floating on air....but ladies...don't float too long.

What do I mean? Well, it is when you are floating that you are doing all the cooking and the cleaning and the washing, and all the ironing. Ladies, it is during this time you are running on pure adrenaline....so happy to have found love. You will have all the energy in the world...you may even start washing his car and mowing the lawn.

Ladies...let me give you a wake up call. There will come a time...after your feet return to the ground...where you are not going to feel like doing all those chores...and that's what they are ladies...chores. Meanwhile, your man has decided that you not only love to do chores...you are going to do ALL of them...while he sits on the couch eating the food you just cooked in the clothes you just washed and ironed. Wrong message ladies....

Ladies...my advice...start from day one...defining fair and equal. This means if you make a meal for your man...your next line is "Now it is your turn." If you make the bed one time...your next line is "Now it is your turn." If you get the groceries, your next line is "Now it is your turn." You get picture ladies...it's called SETTING EXPECTATIONS.

You may need to introduce this slowly (don't be annoying) but keep going....if you don't set the expectations early...you will end up doing everything...then next thing you know...and baby makes three...and your chore list has just doubled....or tripled.

So ladies...my advice don't float to high ladies...or too long...it is can prove to be dangerous and exhausting.

Til next time ladies!
