I misspoke. There are only two reasons stated for using the expression, so the ideal revision would be to put them in parallel structure. This is very difficult for even native speakers to do as it's a formal way of speaking. So the two reasons were left in their original forms and not similar to each other in form. It's not an ideal result, I apologize.

Don’t you say “Good night” to your family when you are going to bed ?
I don't, but I imagine other families do.

Unfortunately for you, she is not here.
