I Need a Mentor and an Accountability Partner

Ladies,

I don't know how to be a Christian mother or a wife. I grew up with a single teenage mom who never remarried until I was out of the house. I never learned simple things like how to manage time or how to be a positive, gentle mom. It was not a Christian home, so the values I learned were mostly feminist and agnostic. So now, I find myself lost in the shuffle. Trying to be something I've only glimpsed in other church families.

I am 31, married, and I have a one year old son. I can't keep up with laundry, bills, tending to my husband's needs, general mothering, taking care of myself, etc. I am always behind and I am just surviving from day to day. It seems like I run my fool butt off everyday and see no improvement. I am sick of feeling sorry for myself and my woundedness. It's time to move on. But I have so many questions and no one to ask. There is no older woman in my life to whom I can ask questions about how to be a good Christian wife and mom...

I have tried reading books but some of what I've read seems really far from my comfort zone -- "Created to Be His Helpmeet" only left me with more questions.

Is anyone out there willing to give me a hand? I would be so greatful!!!

--Thank you! Traci
