I could even see giving similar advice from the viewpoint of "you're stuck living with him for now, here are a couple of things that might make it less stressful for you." Not because it's somehow part of growing up, but because their father yelling at a televised ballgame that the referees are idiots isn't as bad as LW's father attacking them on a personal level. That would still be giving the father more consideration than he deserves, but it wouldn't frame it as the teenager having to be the grownup in the relationship because their father won't.
