A baffled parent has shared a picture of their washing machine with a chunk missing on the door gasket after their kid bit into it.

The woman wrote,” My kid bit my washing machine and now it leaks.”

The picture shows a bite mark on the gasket seal.

Reddit users reacted with a mixture of humour and advice.

One person joked, “Sorry little Jimmy, I can’t buy you that Lego set because you used the washing machine like a chew toy”.

A second quipped: “Sell the kid. Children can be surrendered at your local fire station.”

A third wrote that the culprit was clearly a toddler.

“Those kinds of consequences do not translate at this age,” the person wrote.

“You can’t reason with a baby who can barely speak.

“This is a learning experience for the parents about boundaries and supervision and that is all.

But another person said that their dog did something similar.

“He nibbled it during Covid,” the person wrote.

“Took like three months to get the parts as they didn’t send up the right part.

They literally sent us a cast iron griddle instead of the rubber seal. I actually cried when I found what he did.”
