Eph 6:4 And fathers, do not provoke your children, but nurture them
 in the discipline and admonition of the Lord.

This is the verse I am commenting on. In the Greco-Roman world the
paterfamilias had the power over kids. But in the believing word, both
parents have the power over kids, it is mutual. So substitute parents
for fathers in the above, it applies to both, but Paul used paternes,
so that the Roman spies at church meetings looking for subversion
would not find it EXPLICITLY in his letter.
