My first reaction was that this was a little too "poor little rich girl" for me. I still remember being five and being handed a brush and a can of Ajax and told to clean the toilet, with a lack of being beaten being my reward if I got it right. I cleaned the toilet. I fortunately didn't get beaten that time. I shudder to think what would have been done to me if I'd said, "I don't know how."
But I don't contain the Universe, and there are probably ways I can't even imagine that people can be at a disadvantage with knowing how to clean things among other knowledge. I don't know if the LW woudl necessarily be an asshole if his wife said, "I actually don't know how to clean a bathroom" -- I'd like to think he'd say, "YES! Let me show you!" But I'm being hopeful there.
