Tony can be... a bit overbearing with his helicopter parent tendencies. To combat this, Peter sets up a small protocol with FRIDAY.
Any time Tony wants to do something paranoid or invasive, FRIDAY is to send him a helpful article first, with titles like "Excessive Surveillance Can Harm Adolescent Development, Study Finds" and "Why Teens Need Privacy From Their Parents"
Peter leaves the choice of articles up to FRIDAY, trusting her to send ones that fit the situation.
While this protocol does get Tony to reconsider some of his more... extreme impractical requests, in most cases it fails to change his mind. Being hands-off about Peter's safety is not something he can do -- not when he knows the kinds of dangers this particular kid could face.
He's grateful for the insight that the protocol has given him, though. So instead of removing it, he decides to add to it. He asks FRIDAY to make it a two-way street. Now, whenever Peter complains about one of Tony's safety protocols, FRIDAY will send an article to help him understand
However, Tony doesn't anticipate the kinds of articles FRIDAY will choose. While she continues to send Tony studies and editorials, to Peter she sends news reports from Tony's past
Peter's mad that Tony has put trackers in everything he owns? -- "Tony Stark Still Missing: Inside Month Three of the Harrowing Search"
Peter hates the constant health monitoring that FRIDAY does when he's in the tower? -- "Death Wish or Death Sentence? Stark Behavior Tied to Secret Illness that Almost Cost Him His Life"
It goes on and on. For every seemingly insane overreach, there's a story, an experience Tony is trying to protect Peter from.
They both still disagree about how much protection is too much, but at least they understand each other better now

So as of “She-Hulk”, we now have the family dynamics of the OG6:
1) The Starks = Father/abandonment issues, which is a major reason why Tony wanted to be a good father to Morgan
2) The Odinsons = Really complicated due to the fact that one of the brothers was taken away from his people
3) The Romanoffs = Trying to be the typical American nuclear family
4) The Rogers = We can assume Steve’s parents were good to him since Steve speaks fondly of them
5) The Bartons = Bad relationship with the parents, which Clint is trying to make up for by being a good husband and father to four kids (Kate counts)
/
And now we have...
/
6) The Banners = Cousins who love each other, but also get really annoyed by the other’s antics.

I love the concept that Tony and Bruce were actually quite close. Like, I love that the science bros were canonically ACTUAL science bros. They were friends. I love friendship. I love marvel.

Tony: What the hell was that!?
Peter: A calculated risk!
Tony: you shot me!
Peter: I SAID IT WAS CALCULATED! I NEVER SAID I WAS GOOD AT MATH!
Tony: it doesn't take a genius to understand that if you pull the trigger an arrow will be fired at whoever is at the end of the bow!
Peter: It's a HARPOON
