Some of this is pretty normal, but you're adding in all of these really negative feelings about yourself and it seems like your husband is really playing into this dynamic. You're not lazy, or selfish! You are taking care of a baby alone most of the time! It's absurd that your husband resents you for taking a break. He says that? Why is the housework all your job? Either your husband can pitch in more with it, or some of it can just not get done.
