Agreed. I don't mind washing the dishes at all. Another thing that is excruciating in a family: cleaning children's rooms. My god, where do they get all that crap. A robot that would tidy, clean, and purge the unnecessary crap that children accumulate would be incredible - and, I imagine, incredibly difficult to create.

Incentivise it. The threat of no iPad all weekend is highly motivating to our kids. (Although sometimes they really can't be bothered and they spend the whole weekend outside instead; but I see that as a win too.)

Maybe a robot that teaches your kids to clean their own rooms would be more realistic, at least if we are to believe Eric Schmidt.

Ah. Like a cute robot puppy that detects clutter and then plays sad music while "crying". I like the way you think.

So we're just too lazy to be a parent now?

In the future, the robots will be better parents than us.
