AIBU to let xdp pay for a cleaner?

I have DC with my ex partner, he was useless for the first few years of their life, but within the last year or so he has turned things around - reliable with contact, pays a reasonable amount of maintenance, etc

At the handover yesterday I mentioned being swamped with housework, and he offered to pay for a weekly cleaner. We have a small flat, so I’d imagine 2 hours would be plenty of time. I would not be able to afford a cleaner myself.

AIBU to accept his offer? I feel a bit guilty at the thought for some reason - but don’t want to martyr myself!

Would he be increasing his child maintenance contribution to cover the cost, or employing / paying the cleaner himself?

I would accept the first, reject the second.
