I agree with Mr. Hunt’s advice because the parents will understand their kids and will not fight anymore after proper communication. And also, the brother will be nice to him if he explains his idea to his brother.
I disagree. The parents and elder brother may get even angrier as they may think that the writer is being disrespectful. They may feel that children should not comment on the behavior of their seniors.
