I'm so tired of being a mom to everyone around me.

First and foremost, I'm not trying to invalidate anybody's advise or opinions but I'm not sure if I can wholly agree with the separation of professional issues and personal issues. I know that we all have different values, lifestyles, and coping mechanisms. I'm not sure if anyone around the world has faced what I'm going to share but maybe those in the West will relate to it. <br><br>I'm a 21 year old Nepali woman. I'm currently a senior in college and by the grace of God, I'm on the way to becoming a doctor. I'm the second eldest in my family with 5 siblings so I've got dollar store responsibilities like housework, cooking, and stuff. Most of the people here have never left their home country. <br><br>Now, I've been extremely fortunate that I got a lot of opportunities in my life so far (study abroad, work in a different country, multiple friends from all over the world etc.) These are all the things that most people in my country don't get to experience. And I'm not going to lie but my knowledge and experience in life wholly surpasses most of my family members. So when I make a plan or a decision, they make me feel so stupid after finding out that it didn't go well. <br><br>For example, I decided to change my course to a clinical major at the last minute and I've faced so much resistance from my family because they thought I should have changed majors earlier (legit had to fight for my life when my sister genuinely asked me what made me change my mind at the last minute). I've also had to convince my dad to let me do minor surgeries because he genuinely thought he was the better doctor and I should just let him do it. And the worst thing that happened was a few months ago, I was really sick and was admitted to the hospital and my grandfather genuinely thought that I was being a brat by not eating my breakfast and wanted to ask for second opinions. <br><br>But the cherry on top was when my mother insisted that I go to the principal of my college and ask why I'm not allowed to change my major (yes, she is a grown ass woman but she is 10 years old mentally). I had to explain to her that I don't get to make demands to my principal because of how the education system works but she insisted on going to the principal's office and asking for a second opinion. I had to explain to her that I would've gotten my degree by now if I had changed majors a year earlier. I don't know what her mental state is but I'm fucking tired of being a mom to everyone around me.
