neglectful

Explanation:

Neglectful parenting refers to the type of parenting in which the parent does not involve much in the course of parenting. The parent remains busy or occupied with other tasks and do not take responsibility for the needs the children have. The demands of the children or the basic requirements remain unfulfilled in this type of parenting. In the case of Joseph, his mother is a neglectful parent.
