Am I overreacting to my bf not pulling his weight around the house

I 27f and my partner 29m have been together 6years and have a 1.5yr old together. He made a comment tonight because I am in “a bad mood again”. I lost it at him because I went to my mom’s house for a few hours and came home and nothing was done. I washed and dried the bed sheets today and they were sitting waiting to go on the bed and he didn’t do it because he “he struggles to do it”. The kitchen was still a mess from me cooking dinner and the house needs vacuumed. I called bullsh!t on it and blamed his mother for not ever teaching him to be a grown ass man that can do things without being told because as she did everything for him. This man comes home everyday from work to dinner ready and his laundry is done every week also. I cook dinner because he was never taught how to cook. He only ever cleans when I tell him to do something. He told me I am overreacting and if he asks me then he would do it but my problem is that I shouldn’t have to ask to have things done around the house we both live in. I also work full time and I do the childcare runs everyday. I have to get myself and our child ready for work whilst he just goes about his normal routine. I am fed up of being mother to both him and my child. Am I overreacting?

I have been with my husband for 5 years and we have a child together born last year in 2025. My brother in law has a girlfriend and been with her for 3 years (they don’t have a child).
For Christmas she gave a book full of photos of my child to my in laws as a gift. The front cover is a big picture of my child with his full name. She also wrote on the inside cover a personal message thanking them for being so kind to her and welcoming into the family.
When they showed me this book I pretended to be happy and that it was a great gift for them but on the inside I was horrified. She never asked my permission to use these photos of my child and also I think it’s weird if you were going to make a photo book it would be for the parents of said child.
I tried to talk to my husband about it as every time I see this book I want to burn it. He doesn’t see it as a problem but it does not sit right with me at all. I warned my husband if she tries to make another this year I will be voicing my real opinion of it. He thinks I am over reacting and thinking too much into it.
I don’t post my child publicly on social media so all photos are of what I sent her directly (which I no longer do) or of what my brother in law took or even photos she took herself that I have never seen.
Also the in-laws have 2 other grandchildren (they are a few years older) and she chose my child to spotlight. Maybe if she made the book about all 3 grandchildren I could’ve seen past it.
I don’t know how to move on from this as it annoys me everytime I see it. Am I overreacting ?
