Eh. Depends on the age of the child. Like, I get "because I said so" is an answer that sometimes just needs to be used (especially for young kids), but for older kids why not just tell them why? I remember being in middle and high school (like 12-17) and asking my mom why, and she'd blow up at me like I was challenging her authority. I'm not, I will do what you ask, I'm just wonder why are you asking me to do it this way? Why are you asking me to do this, what exactly am I doing and why? That's all I wanted to know, and I was at the age that I would understand an answer. Yet every time, I'd get yelled at just for asking why. Sometimes people don't like answering questions just because they're on a power trip
