Ladies, when it comes to choosing the type of man to be with it is important to know the lifestyle you want to live. If tending to your kids and spending your time leisurely is important than you may prefer to be a housewife and stay at home mom. If being a go getter and a boss babe is important to you than you may prefer having a career or business owner. Whatever your choice is it is imperative that you take the time to consider the attributes your man, or potential man, has and how that will play out long term in your desired lifestyle.
Disclaimer: It is very much possible to be a successful ambitious woman and a stay at home mom, but remember: it can be extremely difficult for women to have it all, so choose wisely!
