Giving kids no autonomy at all has become a parenting norm

I would have said everywhere if I intended everywhere, I didn't, so the point you tried to make seems to be moot, it certainly didn't look separate with how you structured your response.

Everyone knows almost nothing happens everywhere. Its why the first thing they teach in argumentation, debate, and logic is to never use absolute language like 'all' and 'every' unless you know its absolute (and can't be misinterpreted).

Miscommunications happen, hopefully you understand how it happened now and will be more careful moving forward.

I’ll give it one more shot.

Really, if you want to insist that this was what you were saying the entire time, either start with it or acknowledge that you failed to start with it. Indeed, miscommunications happen. Consider that you come across as unwilling to believe your part in this happening.

Likewise, I hope you can see how you erred so that you may do better in the future.
