She teaches them that i am the head of our house

So are they taught that they are your body too? The head/body metaphor is a special relationship that can only exist between the husband and wife. If you are the head of the home then your home which includes your children are your body, and that is not scriptural. Ofcourse I assume you get the idea that you are “head of the home” from Eph 5, but you MUST remember that the head is only head in relation to the body, therefore if you distort the metaphor by saying “I’m the head of the home” when scripture only says that you are the head of your wife, then your children are put in the same position as your wife, that is, they are your body. To say that the husband is the head of the home and that this is taught in Eph 5 is to completely distort the head/body metaphor.
