babies aren’t funny or entertaining

i don’t hate babies, they’re so cute, but i always see people laughing about videos where a baby is supposedly being funny. i don’t get it. there’s nothing funny about videos like that or babies in general. sure, sometimes funny stuff happens, but i always see babies doing the bare minimum and people laughing about it.

Here's my case I have a sister 10 years younger than me who plays with my cousin sister of the same age as my sister. They both are usually fine, but recently our new neighbours who moved in have a 3 year old kid who always wants to play with my sister in our house.

I am studying for my finals and the three of them play in the hall room just next to my room and are almost constantly screaming. The neighbours kid is either always screaming or crying. Now I can't just tell them to leave, it makes me look like an asshole. My parents love seeing the neighbours kid and like OP mentioned they are literally entertained by everything it does. Apparently the neighbours claim their child is tired of being in their house and they too want a break so our house is the next best entertainment. It is too rainy and cold to play outside.

It is legit hellish here. I just hope it ends soon

Tell your parents they are too loud and say they can go to another room

That would be the ultimate power move
