Motherhood is so lonely

Mother seems to be forgotten the moment baby is out. Even I have forgotten to care of myself.. I am the first to wake up (do chores, prepare to wfh, take care of my baby etc), last to eat, last to shower, last to sleep. Nobody asks if I am okay, nobody ask if I need help. Not my in law, not my husband. Everyone thinks mother should be doing all of this. When baby cries, the first they call for is the mother, me. Motherhood is lonely, especially when I’m not staying with my parents. When my husband and I quarrel, he is able to go to the living room and continue chat happily with his family, while I’m staying alone in the room feeling sad, crying...and still have to take care of baby. I’m tired...lonely...I love my baby and I have forgotten how to love myself.
