The parent here does not attempt to read the child's mind. In OP, the responder was overly aggressive in trying to read the conversation partner's mind.

No, the OP gave examples of what his parent did (in the first post), and the example of the exchange with his parents was his reaction to his parent giving responses to questions that never answered the actual question (in the follow up reply). He is saying that he didn't know how to tell his parent how to stop those sorts of replies because he couldn't identify the response style. That is why the OP is here now, asking what sort of response style this is, because he has never been able to tell his parent "don't do this specific XYZ answering style"
