The clip shows Adam teasing a young Teddy, telling him he's got to go to bed, whilst Teddy bursts into what Adam dubs 'crocodile tears'.
Many found the clip hilarious, with _absmithy commenting: "Aww so mean....do it again!" whilst @c.s.s.h added: "Adam man, why are you like this? The laugh gets me everytime."
Another of Adam's followers, @tattoeedmummyof2 responded: "honestly, got to love this stage...I'm going through the same with my 2 year old!"
But not all fans agreed with the joke, slamming it as 'confusing' and 'cruel'.
@edcjoy responded: "Just gunna put it out there. This is funny. Funny for you maybe. Confusing for him.
"When he starts playing up and you say he doesn't listen to you don't be surprised because you're playing with his emotions and not teaching him about trust or consistency. Just for some likes and views."
@mandyridgeon agreed, responding to their comment: "I don’t ever lost anything negative but I have to agree with you, poor little mite is genuinely upset.
"All I kept thinking was please don’t do it again Adam he looks so confused.
" I’m sure he is amazing dad but we don’t all have on each other’s parenting, it doesn’t mean your a Karen too it just means you don’t agree on this."
@keelyjan23 hit back however, adding: " seriously Adam put it up because teddy was only still a baby here.
"And it’s cute. Ever heard of the fake crying too get your way like us all did when we was little.
"Adam he’s dad he knows best for he’s boy. So need for your comment ! Karen lighten up."
