It can be confusing, but MOST parents would look back to see their child was "staying put". They would not therefore mention it unless ASKED. They do not have to say "I kissed my son goodnight," "I told him I loved him", etc. because we should not need to be told. It is what the blog-writer refers to as "the expected". He makes similar comparisons to saying you took a shower and toweled off or that you got up and made the bed, or brushed your teeth before work. Becauswe this is NORMAL behavior, most people would not include it in summarizing their day.
For myself, today, I "got up at 6:30, got ready for work" (which included bathing, washing and brushing my hair, brushing my teeth, fixing coffee, packing lunch, and scraping ice off my windshield). "My commute was horrible" (because of uncleared snow and bad drivers, but as this is common this week, again, it is not worthy of mention. If I were to carry on about the frost on my car and the single lane roadways - usually 3 lanes but with only one cleared of snow - and the rude drivers, it would probably be because I was late leaving the house and am trying to "justify" my being late to work by placing the blame elsewhere.
