Suspect those who want an au pair want it for the exploitative value, in which case I’m satisfied to see them go without. If they can’t afford childcare they should cut their cloth accordingly and make ends meet like everyone else.
There’s no point propping up the property market with borrowing against two wages that aren’t sustainable.
