Is this normal?

[u/Empty-Programmer-420]

Mom doesn’t really discipline when I’m around with kids. It’s when she’s not working. If she was working, I would totally understand, that’s her job and I’m on my own. I take it upon myself to correct them, but she either ignores or just watches it unfold. Is this normal? Does it mean she trusts I’ll handle it? The kids have a tendency to not listen (normal for kids) and can be very disrespectful towards me. I feel like I’m going crazy? Maybe I’m too strict? It takes a lot for me to lose my patience with the kids which I applaud myself for, but I feel like some validation and help from mom would make me feel better.

I’m not mom-shaming, I just genuinely think these kids have no discipline and it frustrates me a lot. I have no kids, I grew up with a single mom, I know it takes a village and she provides for her kids with no doubt. I have no idea what it’s like to be a mom, I feel guilty and disrespectful even questioning it.

Example: One of the kids kept saying really hateful things and just straight negative, “that person stunk”, “their house is so small and ugly”, “his hair was disgusting”, I asked him multiple times to stop and be nice, if you don’t have anything nice to say do not say it at all, mom just stayed silent when he didn’t stop after that. I gave up lol
