This is what is expected. You have 3 options for resolving it.

Have the child do the opposite rotation that the parent is doing.
Have the child (text) look at a target (camera), Unity has a function for it transform.LookAt(camera.transform);
Take the child off of the parent and just get it to follow the position of the parent instead and thus it won’t be affected by the parent rotation/scale.

Could you write a simple example for first solving process?

I don’t have any idea how you are rotating the parent, but let’s say you are only spinning around the y axis with transform.Rotate():

 Transform child;
 
 //assu$$anonymous$$g this script is on the parent
 void Update()
 {
     //rotate 5 degrees around the y axis relative to the world on the parent
     transform.Rotate(5, transform.down, Space.World);
     //rotate the opposite way on the child
     child.Rotate(-5, transform.down, Space.World);
 }

Text is backward when its parent flipped.
