That sounds like the Twilight Zone episode "I Sing the Body Electric." Said episode was also made into a 1982 movie called The Electric Grandmother. Hope that helps.
Otherwise known as [Smashing Melons 42].

There was a movie that I saw about 10 years ago in school, that I need help with. Anyway in the movie had a man and his kids going to a factory that made robot grandmothers for a month, with the suggestions of families that came to visit. The family in the movie makes suggestions for their robot grandma. They then leave the factory and a few weeks later the robot grandma arrives. At one point the kids get up in the middle of the night to spy on her, but she catches them. Towards the end she reveals to the family that she has to go back to the factory as a month has passed since she had arrived at their house. However the kids ask the factory to let them keep her, and the factory agrees to let them keep her. Before I forget, I think that "Ask me no more questions, Give me no more lies" (or something similar) was one of her lines of dialogue. So could you help me?
