I work so much that it feels pointless

Up until a few months ago the majority of my work was in the corporate world. I was traveling a lot and I was constantly working and I won a big company award last year which included a trip to the Dominican Republic.
I have always worked really hard because I actually love hard work but since I had a baby a year ago I had to switch my focus a bit and focus my work here at home. I switched to a less enjoyable job working from home within the same company.
My goals are to build my wealth for my family but I won't lie the work I'm doing at home feels a bit pointless.

I'm not delusional about working for a company I don't think there's any grand virtue in making money for some massive company. I definitely think taking care of my child is better, but my husband is just so lazy that everything I do feels so pointless.
My house is so dirty that I cannot even have guests over. My baby never seems to change clothes unless I bathe him and change him. My husband does not work nor drive.
Don't get me wrong my husband is the primary caregiver for our son but he does it so lazily. Everything else is left up to me and nothing is ever done I don't know.

Sounds like you “settled” for the first warm body that came along when you got married.

@SWUser123987 I really didn't. I was just bad at picking he is one of those people that's"nice".
I assumed that bad husbands would be bad guys or act bad or you know have more obvious bad characteristics but you can be a nice nerdy guy and still be a really bad husband and be lazy and selfish.
He doesn't really think we have major issues. Or maybe he knows but just acts like it's ok. I dunno

@REMsleep curious, outside of domestic things, is he still useless in bed?
@REMsleep You chose nice. Lazy. Unmotivated. Selfish. What will you do now?What would motivate him to change? Does he really love you and his family?
