Thank you for pointing this out. A bias toward viewing situations as "us vs. them" is part of humans' tribal nature. Any time someone points out that something isn't an "us vs. them" situation (or that a particular position is predicated on a situation being "us vs. them"), you should really give weight to that criticism because it's a very easy mistake to make. Look hard at whether it really is an "us vs. them" situation, and if it isn't, what are the consequences that flow from that? In this particular example, the case is pretty clear: The parent's spot-on.
