With a kid, your wife's priorities have shifted to revolve completely around him/her. It's a tiring and thankless job, and anything else looks easier in comparison (true or not). Thus, when you abandon your previous role as secure breadwinner to pursue your dreams, it makes it seem like you don't have the same priorities. Add upon that, you are at home and visibly not contributing to the priority, since you have such an easy time (in her eyes). Lastly, it's triply frustrating because she is now dependent on you, having given up her career and her uterus (and thus a reduced chance of finding another breadwinner), but you have ignored her predicament.
Anyway, not saying she is right and I understand the dream as well. Just pointing out her perspective (I've got a kiddo as well).
What is done is done, so the thing to do now is to give it your best shot, but also communicate your progress honestly. You have customers, which should be a great turning point for the both of you.
