It’s not an argument, it’s a command.
You’re not convincing your kids that you are right. You are reminding them of the consequences if they disagree.

Very inadvisable. Raise them in view to being adults.
I absolutely do this, but there are times when "because I said so" is the actual answer.
As an adult, there are plenty of situations where you are subject to the authority of others. Learning to deal with disagreement with that is also part of being an adult.
Interesting, but your lapsus may be worth noting:
if you show your good reasons then they will find themselves under «the authority of others»,
whereas if you don't they will find themselves «subject to» the power of others.
Opportunity and effects may vary.
