‘They Have to Learn How to Clean from One of Us’: Tamera Mowry’s Daughter Hilariously Shows What A Day with Her Mom Looks Like Versus Her Dad

Tamera Mowry had fans relating to a comical video of her 7-year-old daughter, showing what a day with dad looked like versus a day with mom. 

Mowry’s daughter, Ariah Talea Housley, was seen in the first half of the video cheesing widely with a chocolate bar in her hand and a helmet on her head as she was seemingly about to enjoy a car ride in her own electric vehicle.

The caption, “Day with dad:” was written over top of the video before it transitioned into “Day with mom:” which then showed Ariah with a straight face and scrunched-up eyebrows as she stood before a window holding a cleaner. 

Mowry had the song “Main Theme” from the 2009 film “Up” playing in the background of her hilarious video.

“Hey! They have to learn how to clean from one of us! [shrug shoulder emoji],” he mom of two wrote as her Instagram caption. 

The video received over one million plays and was liked by over 94,000 fans. 

It also reached over 1,600 comments, two of those from Mowry’s former “The Real” co-hosts Adrienne Bailon-Houghton and Loni Love.

“Ummm these braids?! I’m obsessed [white heart emojis] she’s so stunning” Bailon-Houghton wrote. 

“The day with #auntieloni is the best @adamhousley,” Love wrote. 

Many comments surrounded how hilariously relatable the video was; several mothers connected to Mowry’s post, expressing how they do the same thing with their children. 

“That’s right!! My two year old vacuums”

“It’s like that in my house as well. My kids say that their dad is more fun because I’m too strict! [face palm emoji]”

“This is so true, I am at work and my daughter is off school this week so she is home with her daddy and she just texted me we are getting candy! She is supposed to be cleaning her room!”

Mowry and her husband Adam Housely welcomed their only daughter and youngest child on July 1, 2015.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
