This seems perfectly normal if the parents don't make unfair or unexplained requests, and the kid follows fair requests.

Don't know what the prevalence of reasonable parents is.

(You were making that assumption with a rhetorical "Really?", so I've pointed it out.)

You don't point out every assumption. The contrary assumption is equally implicit in the other person mentioning it at all. Which doesn't seem any better justified.

Do you have any better info or ... ? I mean I can see why people wouldn't want to know that things they find happy-causing are surprising to some others - so there's that I suppose. But I doubt you'd want to see yourself that way, so what're you trading for here?
