My Bread... A disaster

So today I finally get to make bread right, and it says to add 7 cups of flour after letting it rise for an hour. Well an hour goes by and I start adding a little flour at a time, well finally at about 5 cups I decide it is to thick cause I couldn't kneed it anymore, and so i go to ask my mom and dad to help me since I have never made it before, and they won't because they are "TALKING" so I go back, add some more flour and try kneading it some more, and then mom finally comes out and says what do you need help with now. And I was like nothing it is to late now, but she insists so we go look at the bread and she says to add some water so we add water, then she said we need some more oil so we add some oil, and it still isn't working. So we let it rise for another hour and just now both mom and dad tell me it is to dry it will never make bread. Maybe rolls or scones, but not bread. So i spent all night trying to make bread, and I failed. Dad says it probably won't even make scones cause it is too dry! Grr.... I am trying so hard to prepare myself to be a mom, but no one will teach me cause they are all "TO BUSY" and so I guess I will just be a crappy wife and mother! OH well it was a nice thought to think that i could make bread...
