Question Rotate Weapon child object of Player parent when facing left and perfoming an attack.

Hi everyone! Im struggling for a while with rotating the Weapon child object of Player parent when facing left and perfoming an attack in a 2D game. I tried many options now so i dont want to copy all of them. I tried setting weapon.transform.localScale, multiply the transform.position.x of the weapon (which is by the way what i would like to get). Nothing works. It must be a very simple basic function in every game - keeping the direction of child objects of the player, so there must be an easy way. I copy the PlayerMovement, PlayerAttack and weapon script. I tried in all of them. What my feelings suggest it would be the best done in the PlayerMovement script where i already check the direction of the player for the movement animation. Thank you for the help in advance.

public GameObject weapon;
private bool isRunning;
public bool isOnGround = true;
public bool isFacingLeft = false;

void Start()
{
animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
spriteRenderer = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
}

void Update()
{
// Get the horizontal input
float horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");

// Move the player horizontally
Vector3 movement = new Vector3(horizontal, 0f, 0f) * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
transform.position += movement;

// Set the "IsRunning" parameter based on the player's movement
isRunning = (horizontal != 0f);
animator.SetBool("isRunning", isRunning);

// Flip the player's sprite horizontally if moving left
if (horizontal < 0f)
{
spriteRenderer.flipX = true;
isFacingLeft = true;
}
else if (horizontal > 0f)
{
spriteRenderer.flipX = false;
isFacingLeft = false;
}


// Jump when the space button is pressed
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && isOnGround)
{
rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpForce, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
isOnGround = false;
}

}

// Set a condition for only be able to jump when he is on the ground
private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
{
if (collision.collider.tag == "Ground")
isOnGround = true;
