Am I just ungrateful?

Before I start let's be clear he didn't call me ungrateful it's just how I feel for being annoyed. My husband loves his child but has always said that he doesn't like baby's only when they're 'cute tolddlers' then when they talk back as well. I always thought it was other people's kids turns out it feels like ours ....
