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 environment is very important to your state of mind. Drag hubby to counseling. He has unaddressed mental heatly issues, scientifically known as terminal laziness. Perhaps a counselor can make him see that he is hurting his whole little family with his bad habits. This should be done as a first step.

Hiring someone to do the housework and the tidying is simply enabling him. Instead, since you say you have some money, hire an organizer to come in and work with him and TEACH him how it's done.
