How it works in my house:

"Son, do your chores please."

"Yes, sir."

Done.

I don't think it's as cut-and-dry as this, but it's perfectly fine to have an orderly household based on loving authority that isn't authoritarian. The pearl-clutching responses insinuating child abuse because you have a well-behaved child are sort of what you'd expect from Standard Internet Conscientiousness, but I hope people don't actually take parenting cues from comment threads.
