A teenager frustrated with his non-stop crying baby brother moved his crib to his parents’ bedroom and locked the door. The teen’s parents had planned for the baby to sleep in the room downstairs, but renovations delayed it. As a result, the baby slept in the teen’s room, causing disturbances to his sleep. After repeatedly asking when the baby’s room would be ready, the teen decided to take matters into his own hands. His parents were angry but eventually gave in, keeping the baby in their room. However, the next day, the teen’s father was upset since he was woken up when the baby needed his mother’s attention. The teen’s mother accused him of being unfair and not helping the family.
