AITA for telling my partner to 'shove' my mother's day gift up his when he failed to help around the house

My partner and I share a child together and I am a stay at home mum and contribute financially for about 30% of our bills. My partner doesn't take the initiative around the house at all, does bare minimum and has time for naps etc while I do lion's share of housework, childcare and mental work. When discussed he results to a "nothing i do is good enough for you". Literally this week he has emptied half of grocery bags and that's it, this is the level.

Today I asked him to help around the house after our toddler was sleeping cuz we have guests coming over tomorrow. My partner agreed but by the time he actually came to help from playing his video games. I had managed to clean 99% of the home. I told him not to bother anymore and we got to an argument about housework. He said that I'm so unappreciative cuz he pays majority of our bills. I got mad and told him to shove my mother's day brunch gift up his as I dont want it cuz I dont want one day a year appreciation when clearly im not really appreciated. He got upset, we cancelled the brunch and expects me to apologise for me comment or he'll never get me anything again. I have zero regrets on the comment I made, I meant it. AITA for the comment and refusing to apologise/take it back
