I upvoted you, but to be fair to parent, nothing you said invalidates what they wrote. Parent made a statement, and it would seem that because they did not give the “why” you assumed that they’re being a scold. Maybe, maybe not, but the All Holy HN Guidelines suggest taking the charitable interpretation, and I’m going with that.

EDIT: and just as I hit “reply”, parent comes back with a response indicating that the charitable interpretation was wrong. sigh
