We shouldn't have to "import" people from poorer countries to do the mundane tasks we got too lazy to do ourselves.

The concept of having this kind of help is totally foreign to me, but with the exception of one, every family I’ve encountered that had an au pair have been two very busy high earning parents, neither of them lazy. I think you could argue that perhaps priorities have been misplaced, but not lazy.
