Not OOP AITA for telling my brother that he has no idea what he's talking about because he's not a parent?

Full disclosure: I am not a parent, I teach high schoolers though fwiw
anyway, your comment made me think of cooking. If you get to cook a meal on a Sunday with no distractions, you had the money and time to buy the exact groceries for the recipe, are not interrupted or in a hurry, and might not even have to clean after, you might say cooking is easy and fun.
Coming up with a meal from scraps in the fridge in 20mins while considering everyone‘s preferences and having a kid attached to you - that‘s different. Worrying about e.g. sugar content or fibre intake is much harder here.
I feel like sometimes people who‘ve only done the former will underestimate the latter. I guess that‘s what the brother is doing, I totally get that that‘s annoying. But OOP‘s reaction and attitude seem ass to me. I‘ve had situations like that, there‘s no need attacking the other person for not knowing. Just shut it down by saying you‘re not looking for feedback and move on.
