Hi
I understand your concern and let me help you in the best possible way.
Such feelings do sometimes arise in mothers as they are raising a child which is a great job in itself and takes a very high level of effort.

I will advise you to talk to your husband about it calmly and ask him to help you with raising the child.Also ask him about his day etc. which might help you understand each other instead of fighting with each other.

Talk about the positive things that happened in your day and share things and feelings with your husband.Try to have a small outing on weekends or you can plan a vacation together.

Also try to rekindle some of the romance that you had before which will also make you feel better about yourself and bring you and your husband closer.

Do not feel that you are a bad mother.Children need attention and things can be demanding but whenever you get irritated you can try to distract yourself in some other thing like TV or reading a book rather than shouting at the kid.

I hope this alleviates some of your concerns.Feel free to get back to me for any further clarifications and do remember to rate my answer.
Thank you.
