Sleeping With The Au Pair

image

What is it that drives a man to risk losing his wife, children and home to pursue a sexual relationship with an employee that is often half his age and with limited English? Enlisting the help of child carers from abroad is often a lottery with parents having little or no contact with the au pair before meeting them off a plane and ready to entrust the care of their children to a virtual stranger. But what happens when a mother's very worst fears come true? And what effect does this have on the children and marriages involved? Compelling and candid, Cutting Edge delves into the domestic life of three men who did just that. Asking them to reflect on the situations that led them to risk their marriages and the resulting emotions and consequences that played havoc with their minds and their lives.
