Why does the child of a game object not rotate to face mouse position when the parent object is moving?

So I am new to unity, forgive me if my question is already answered somewhere on the forum.

I am creating as top down shooter, and a problem I am having is that I want my player to be forward facing at all times, but I want the weapon/firepoint to rotate towards wherever the mouse is currently on the screen. This only seems to work when the parent object is not moving, otherwise the childs rotation is locked into place. What would I be doing incorrectly? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float moveSpeed = 5f;

    public Rigidbody2D mainbody;
    public Rigidbody2D firePoint;
    public Camera cam;

    Vector2 movement;
    Vector2 mousePos;

    void Update()
    {
        //Input
        movement.x = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        movement.y = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");

        mousePos = cam.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);

    }

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        //Movement
        //Time.fixedDeltaTime is there because it results in consistent movement speed in game, as to how I am uncertain
        mainbody.MovePosition(mainbody.position + movement * moveSpeed * Time.fixedDeltaTime);

        Vector2 lookDir = mousePos - mainbody.position;

        //For the Z rotation of the object, we need to find the angle that will force the player to turn and change the initial firing position
        //will be visualized later in animation if we choose to
        float angle = Mathf.Atan2(lookDir.y, lookDir.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg - 90f;
        firePoint.rotation = angle;

    }
}

Is firePoint the child of mainbody?? If so, take the rigidbody off of firePoint. Rigidbodys should never be parented with another rigidbody
