Oh I totally got that. I was just trying to offer an alternative use of "reason" vs "excuse". My parents use it too, but, as you've explained, in an attempt to establish hierarchy and remind me of my place.

And a shit ton of bosses who've done the same. I think it can be a useful tool but it's almost never used that way.
