Crews said he loves his son, but also spoke about the challenges parents usually face with toddlers, such as their eating habits, playing, toys and bathing, among other things. He said he was just venting his "fatigued frustration".
The video was posted on June 3 and went viral with over 3.4 million views and more than 200,000 likes. Internet users have flooded the comment section with their own experiences with a toddler.
One user said, "I want this video as my screensaver at work. So when I get up and grab that Celsius and coffee chaser at 2pm, you're wisdom plays for the non-kiddo having masses I work with."
"It's the fact that you look like you going home with a vest on lol because you don't know what you getting ready to walk into," another said.
"Honestly I'm more surprised you escaped long enough to make this video lol," a third wrote.
Another user comment read: "The meanest humans are all between 2 & 4 yrs old." One even said, "It's preparation for the teenage years. Gotta be strong!"
"The sleep deprivation is horrible"
While speaking to Newsweek, Crews said that toddlers like his son "have all the leverage and cannot be negotiated with." "Toddlers have very little understanding of their emotions and how to express themselves, so their behaviors can be wildly erratic."
"We just have to do what they say in the middle of the night or everyone pays the price. The same can be said if we're out in public and something upsets him," he added.
"If I don't get him his yogurt or come lie down next to him or rub his back until he falls asleep, he will scream and not only wake up my wife and dogs, but our neighbors in the townhouse community," he continued.
"Having a toddler is like living with your best friend from college who habitually drank too much, blacked out, did terrible things, but somehow woke up before you the next morning and brought you a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich."
"The sleep deprivation is horrible, but I love being Jameson's dad. He is hands down my favorite person; at least during daylight hours. I am blessed to have a happy, funny, smart, hardworking son. I know that this phase is just temporary, so I'm trying to enjoy it as much as possible," Crews said.

‘Bol Shankar Bhagwan Ki Jai': Indian student's Shiva chant at Canadian graduation goes viral
Graduation ceremonies across the United States of America and Canada are in full swing, and Indian students are making sure their celebrations are both personal and memorable. Among the many convocation videos going viral, one clip from Saskatchewan Polytechnic in Canada is capturing widespread attention on the Internet, and sparking conversation online. Rahul Chhillar, an Indian student graduating from the institution, created a moment during his convocation that many will never forget. As he walked on stage to collect his degree, he turned toward the mic and loudly chanted, 'Bol Shankar Bhagwan Ki Jai… Jai Shambhu!' The unexpected chant, an ode to Lord Shiva, took everyone by surprise, especially the faculty on stage. But within seconds, his words echoed back from the audience, with several fellow Indians joining in. A post shared by R A H U L CHHILLAR (@rahulchhillar34) Chhillar shared the video on Instagram on June 21, 2025, and it quickly exploded, racking up over 15.2 million views and 2.6 million likes. Reactions, however, were mixed. Many viewers praised the moment as bold and uplifting, calling it a beautiful expression of faith and identity. One comment said, 'Look how the lady is trying to stop him. She thinks it will embarrass people,' pointing out the reaction of a staff member. Meanwhile, others debated whether a formal academic setting was the right place for such a statement. The comments section lit up with chants of 'Har Har Mahadev' and praises for the student's devotion. For many, it was a moment of pride and joy – a young man honouring his culture at one of the biggest milestones of his life. This isn't the only time an Indian student has gone viral during a graduation this season. Another popular video, from the University of Missouri–Kansas City, featured Dinesh Kyama walking on stage holding up Virat Kohli's No. 18 Test jersey. As his name was called, he proudly raised the jersey to the crowd's cheers before collecting his certificate. The gesture came soon after Kohli had announced his retirement from Test cricket, making the moment emotional for fans.
