So would you be the snot nosed little brother?  Glad you stated "depending on circumstances".  Shows there are two sides to the answer just like there are two (or more) sides to the original information.

Too little to make a complete decision on.  More of a cry for help made by someone who may be in over his head.  When all else fails, steady she goes.  Calm level headed discusion without finger pointing and shouting can cure some perceived ills.
