Hatred towards my animals

My son will be a year old this coming Monday , and I feel like my hatred towards my animals has not gone away , beside fleeting moments of feeling some type of affection towards my cats and dog that are few and far between , I find myself more often then not thinking animals are disgusting and destructive and not worth the trouble. It makes me sad and I feel like a terrible person sometimes and I don’t know what’s wrong with me . I know animals will be animals and before baby I was an animal lover, my dog was my baby . But between my cats destroying furniture and my sons expensive rocking chair that my father gifted my and the occasional turd I find on the couch from my dog ( she’s trained but can be spiteful ) sometimes I find myself dreaming of the day they are all gone and I don’t have to deal with it anymore . I get so angry… like I would like to sit on my couch with my son and not feel like it’s a health hazard between the hair and scanning the couching for turds or mud or dirt . When will this feeling go away ? Has anyone felt like this or still feeling like this .

I absolutely love / hate my cats they are just ugh everywhere but when I watch my daughter play with them it brings the love back

Hi there! I find myself in a similar situation but the dogs and cat in our house belong to my MIL. The animals were tolerable before and while pregnant, but now it's just different. I feel like when they don't obey my commands or tear up stuff in the house I can feel my blood boil too. I wish I didn't feel that way since they are just animals, but I rather not let them near my daughter either because I find them to be unclean and annoying. I know it makes me sounds like an animal hater but I too wonder if these feeling would go away🫤
