> Dude, work has been by the rich, for the rich, for about as far back as I know of. Probably forever It’s not new, but it’s a sign inequality is getting worse. A hundred years ago, rich people had live-in maids, and then they (mostly) disappeared.

I can tell you where I grew up (third world country), we have live in maids and some treat them as family (we do) and some treat them as slaves. Maybe that is where 'murica is headed with au pairs etc..

  Treat them like family? Then why isn't the master of the house cleaning your cousin's house?

    Because treating like family doesn't mean they're actually family, but that familial manners extend to them, among whatever their original reason for being part of the family is.
