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.

Your husband has no shame and you let him get away with it

@meggie I understand why some people may feel that way. I'm actually a very strong person and I don't need a man or anything of that sort of thing.

I am fine all by myself.
I have fought screamed, told him exactly how I feel and all of that. He has zero relatives and friends in the USA. He also has zero money because I refuse to give him cash. He only buys small things on my credit card. If I kicked him out he would be blind sided and it would feel awful.

I also don't want to kick out my 13 month olds father. My husband loves my son alot.

@REMsleep what love got to do with you can do bad by yourself you probably don’t even need help from anyone else including him.
@REMsleep Again, you let him treat you like this. Your son deserves a decent father. Maybe you fantasized. Go to s counsellor. They can teach you boundaries. How to make a marriage work. Course it takes two. You married a playboy. Why, exactly?

@REMsleep
He could still see his son.
Still watch him while you worked,just somewhere seperate.
He sounds like a man child, honestly.
