Are parents giving up?

We are still doing Distance Learning for another 13 days. Yes, I'm counting. This week has pretty much sucked so far. It seems as though parents are no longer monitoring their children, and the children don't give a s&^t what I say to them. I have had students playing with toys, eating, brushing their hair, randomly getting up and leaving, asking to use the restroom right after break, openly playing on their cell phones, holding full conversations with another person in their home while I'm trying to talk to them. And hardly any work is getting turned in. And what is turned in is done in the wrong workbook. Students are showing up late in the morning, late after break; I have to text parents for group time. What in the heck is going on?
Anybody else having difficulties? If you have any advice, I'm open!
