Imagine these kind of robots in the home of of 2 or more kids. Roomba doing vacuuming, this robot doing laundry and folding.

Parents would be spending quality time with her kids, helping them with their homework or helping with their practice - sports or music, instead of getting frustrated looking pile of laundry and kids don't have nothing to wear.

Kids now have more questions due to quality engagement. So they would visit library or if they are into sports, parents spend more time with them.

Automation has always been there. We just pick up things we didn't get a chance to pick up. We travelled on cars when horses were no more needed. We built bigger and better things, when we don't have to make our own hammer. Also, we created more problems from these and needed more innovation to fix them.

We always worked around 40 hrs a week since time immemorial. So, we will continue to work 40hrs.

More likely, parents are going to be working while robots pick kids up from school, read them some books, assist with homework....

In countries where labour is cheap enough relative to the professional class (eg Singapore) humans are currently hired to perform these tasks.

People who want to spend time with their kids make time to spend with their kids. Those who don't, don't. I don't think household chores are the blocker here.

I find household chores to be a welcome break from paying constant attention to our children. They are exhausting. We deserve some "me time".

>Roomba doing vacuuming

This is a bad example I think: Roomba seems to be dying, as other competitors are making vacuum robots that look similar yet are technically far superior. It's almost like talking about spreadsheets and giving Lotus as the canonical example.
