newhusband- I don’t even understand why you’re arguing over this. If you have the money, take the cleaning help. Right now, your wife is working full time carrying your child. She might feel awkward blaming everything on pregnancy, so don’t expect her to say it in every argument. Dropping hints that the house is a mess isn’t helpful- I’m sure she already knows. It’s already a blow to her pride that she can’t manage without cleaning help, don’t make it worse. If you don’t want to commit to long term, try it for a week or two and you’ll see what a difference it will make in your home. If you don’t want to trust random people in the coffeeroom, call your rav. He’ll probably tell you the same thing.
