It's really my aunt's fault. How can I ignore this situation?
Me: *using laptop*
Cousin: *suddenly cries upon bargin inside my room and seeing me using it* Note: Room's lock is in bad shape.
Aunt: Can you please let her use your laptop for a while? She won't stop.
Me: Umm... er... *sigh* okay.
Cousin: *crocodile tears stop* Yay!
After 5 hours...
Me: Can I use it now? *lifts her away*
Cousin: NOOOO!!!! *cries again*

It tends to happen to me when I'm playing some Zelda game. The parent tell me to let his son play. DUDE, IT'S FREAKIN ZELDA!
Now that I remember, when playing Twilight Princess, they wanted me to let them play argumenting "Maybe he can find some secret door or something". DUDE, IT'S FREAKIN ZELDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU REALLY EXPECT A 7 YEAR OLD BOY TO DISCOVER ZELDA SECRETS!?!?!?

But if parents fixed kids when they were born, how would reproduction work?

1. Fix the lock on your room.
2. Tell them your computer is broken, and you're trying to fix it.
3. Or, pretend that you suddenly got TONS of work and have to use the computer to type up 50-page reports all day for the next 5 years.
In my case, back when we had a neighbor with annoying kids who'd come by, if I ever locked my room the kids would cry when they realized it was locked and I was forced to open my room anyway to stop em from crying. :V
So if his family's anything like that, that wouldn't solve a whole lot.
When it comes to children who cry past the age when they ought to be (I mean some kids cry when they are tired or strung out but I'm talking the ones who do it to get things), I just pick the straightforward route by directly telling the parents/caretaker their child is being spoiled and that always giving them what they want when they cry is reinforcing bad behavior. I've made several parents grumpy, but usually they are the types who I don't want to talk with much anyway.
I'm torn between "Leave the room and wait until they shut up" and "I can't be near babies when they are crying, I have tendencies to kill when annoyed". Therefore, I have not yet voted.

I might wake up early and go running. I also might wake up and win the lottery. The odds are about the same.
Some children turn into adults without ever un-learning that making a big fuss about something is the easiest way to get what you want.
The reason is because it often holds true beyond childhood.
