Crosspost "How to get stay at home wife to clean house?" from /r/TooAfraidToAsk:

My wife is a stay at home mom. She is an awesome mom. However, our house gets really dirty from the kids and she doesnt maintain it. She doesnt clean well or much at all. Kids are at school all day and I work a full time job and 3 part time jobs to pay the bills. She does do errands each day but then also naps for several hrs each day too.

How do I approach this? I would love to hire a cleaner but that would require her going back to work to pay for it which is a whole other issue. Other option is for me to do it but I literally do not have the time. When I bring this stuff up she gets really mad at me. Otherwise we are very happy together. Its just these few issues we cant work out.

She says my stance on her cleaning is from the 1940s. But she is home all day while kids at school. I am working like 70 hrs a week to pay for everything. Suggestions?
