I feel overwhelmed
Im taking care of my nephew and he calls Mummy. However nowadays I question if he sees me as a mother figure at all because he doesnt listen to me and starts being rude. My mother just gave me a lecture about how I talk to him.
He is going to start primary school next year and all I can think about that what if he gets bullied? I was bullied predominantly throughout my schooling years with only a few years being fine and i dont want my boy to go through what I did. Maybe thats why subconciously im being stricter?
I just feel way over my head and getting depressed about how I wont be a good parent to him.

I have to take care of five kids much younger than me. They saw me as the mother figure for a long time because my mom is a b**** who didn't care. Once she noticed that they were treating me like the mom she flipped out on me and tried to blame me for the fact that her kids don't respect her.
I imagine you are being stricter because you are worried for him. That's what I did for a while.
