Parents, if your child was being nasty or unpleasant to you, how do you handle it?

I know most parents don't take sorry so well, scold at their kids for being hurtful and give the silent treatment. I remember when we pisses off dad and he yelled at us big time. I got scared. No he wasn't abusive.
I didn't like it when dad got angry. I would say, "Daddy I don't like it when you're mad." Then dad flat out told me, "Well don't make Daddy angry then. Is parents have feelings too you know." One time I was so horrible and nasty, my dad gave me the silent treatment. My brothers too. I tried talking to him, he would not talk to me. I screamed at my dad and cried. Then he said, "Are you going to be respectful towards Daddy?" I said yes. Then he said, "Good I did that to teach you a lesson. Don't ever treat Daddy like that again. I don't respond to nasty behaviors." I thought parents were so mean and don't like the word sorry. When I say sorry dad doesn't respond. Parents why are you so difficult?

I use to get spanked if I misbehave. But if I was the parent, I would give silent treatment to my child.

@JBird That's what my dad did to me. And my bros. He gave us the silent treatment. That drove me crazy! He said it's to teach me a lesson to stop being nasty to people and that's how people are going to react if I act nasty and disrespectful. Didn't feel good did it?
I cried and said no and he was mean. He said, "I don't mind being the 'mean' dad." Smiles and walked off. That angered meds lot more but he didn't care.

@ElizabethBabe1994 That's not right. He should have explained in a matured way.
