An intellectually dishonest response used, usually by parents, to justify making a child comply with an ostensibly irrational directive which the child finds objectionable or in an effort to terminate an argument they find inconvenient. Anyone who makes this argument demands respect while not giving it. They will not tolerate temper tantrums while having them.
If your only reason is "because I said so" a child over a certain age should refuse to accept the reasoning. This reasoning is insulting and bullying and is only used to defend a position that makes no rational sense.
Children are capable of critical thought at a young age and usually will listen to sound argumentation.

Get the That's NOT What She Said mug.Used to refer back to something or someone mentioned earlier. Mainly used in law in place of words such as aforementioned, though picked up by college-aged people in an attempt to sound smart. It is often used incorrectly to reference that which someone else has mentioned in a conversation.
