While the idea that the mother may indeed be neglecting her
responsibility to teach her child discipline - that possibility should
not be discounted - there may be alternative explanations. Perhaps she
has chosen simply to place her priorities in teaching her child
different, and in her opinion, more important lessons.
Maybe she is just another mother, overwhelmed by an unforgiving society,
that expects her and her husband, if he is still around, to both work
over 50 hours each and place the career on top of her list of
priorities. Perhaps she works that 50 hours a week at a wage that is too
low to pay for housing, and
I would suggest that you apply some empathy these kinds of situations.
There may be aspects of this mother's situation, or obstacles in her
life that you simply don't know about. There are problems in society,
that is for certain. I would place the lack of empathy for one another
at the top of the list.
