I think a lot of people will understand where you are coming from. When I look around my ward and stake I see plenty of people who's understanding of the gospel is limited. The thing is that we all learn at different paces and some people may never fully grasp certain things. That is why we are all going to be judged individually according to our own standards. I have similar problems to you and when I spoke to the Stake President about it he recomended that I change my prayers to asking for help for me; to give me strength and guidance. When I did that I no longer had to keep bitting my tongue because I felt a reassuring spirit around me. I also did ask for blessings because doing that brought him in closer proximity to the spirit. I also made sure we did family scripture study and prayer each day. The important thing to remember is that we do not have the power to change anyone but Heavenly Father does. Be patient with your husband - he is coming to church and if you keep nagging him he might stop. He'll get there but it is just taking him longer.

I'm sure all mothers know how you are feeling - I certainly do. when my four were little I spent all my time walking the corridors, like you I wondered what on earth i was bothering for. I can only echo the advice of the others - keep praying and reading your scriptures (satan wants you to fail) and ask for help. I'm the relief society president in our ward and I was asked to get help for a struggling mum. the young women were really keen to help and so were the older women and the woman was able to catch her breath and feel a lot happier. your baby will grow up so quickly that it'll take your breath away. this is one of those darn tests that we're given so hold on tight and ask for help. as for your husband, keep praying and keep trying to be a good example. we all fall down sometimes the important thing is to keep getting up!

41, but most days i feel 91

I've just joined this site and am finding it really hard to find my way around. Am I too stupid or just too old?
