Follow along as your teacher reads the story.
Being a mother or father is difficult. Many parents take care of children and do housework every day, even on the weekends. Some also work or attend school. When parents are busy, they often leave their children with a babysitter. Unfortunately, babysitters are expensive, and sometimes they aren’t nice to the children.
It would be nice if someday every family owned a robot to help take care of the children. Then being a mother or father would be easier. Maybe the robot could help with the household chores like cooking, vacuuming, and washing clothes.
Do you think this is possible? Will we have robots someday to help us with our household chores? Could a robot be* a mother?
Now read the story with your partner.
