Mom finds her daughter cleaning her laptop with water
A mother shares how she found her daughter dunking her laptop into a bucket of water...
You probably don't want to find your kid with one of your electronic devices – especially when screen time is off-limits.
But what if they’re not just watching cartoons? What if they’re trying to do something they think is kind, only for it to end up costing you money and stress?
These rare but unforgettable moments can leave you torn between frustration and the need to stay calm and understanding.
It's natural for parents to react, focusing on the inconvenience. But what we often forget is that our response stays with our kids far longer than the mistake itself.
The damage is already done – so handle the situation with care, just like you would a laptop.
A mother recently shared a POV (point of view) video jokingly saying she "gave motherhood a chance", implying she might be ready to tap out – all thanks to her daughter’s unexpected actions.
In the clip, we see a young girl holding a laptop submerged in a bucket of water, seemingly trying to clean it. Her mother couldn't help but agree with the logic, despite the disaster.
When a social media user asked if she had questioned her daughter’s reasoning, the mom revealed that the little one responded, “My name is Mbali Nhlapho, and I am the housekeeper.” That response had her in tears – immediately.

People were stunned by the child's actions, arguing that she looked old enough to know better – but we beg to differ. After all, we've seen adults make similar mistakes, from washing electronics with soap and water to a TikToker cleaning tripe in a washing machine, and even someone rinsing naan bread under a tap.
Perhaps the little one had good intentions but lacked the know-how to execute them properly. Either way, it looks like the mom is still down a laptop.
No update was given on the computer’s condition, but the mom admitted she was so frustrated that she cried.
