I try to explain the reason for every rule. Sometimes "Because I said so" is the reason. I know we are talking semantics when i reword it, but sometimes rewording is what younger ears need to hear. To me, "Because I said so" often gets translated to "Because that is how I want it done" or very similarly, "Because I decided that is how it is."
This is how it was said to me as a child/adolecent and it worked for me, and seems to work for my stepson.
Sidenote, the head or heads of the house decide how things are, rules subject to change with or without notice, like it or lump it. When I spent some time after University to move home, I had to accept what my father and mother wanted.
To tell how I turned out from it, I am a strong believer in law, I don't back down from adversity, and I am very close to my family.
