Does your family express interest in your studies?

Maybe I’m lucky that my mom isn’t nosy or pushy about my studies, but I really wish I could talk to her about school without her getting bored, irritated, or interrupting me. She never asks me how school is going, how I’m doing, or what I’m learning or working on. I’m the kind of person who gets excited about learning and wants to share the cool new things I’ve discovered, but it feels like she doesn’t care.

For example, I recently fell behind in a couple of my classes and was really stressed about catching up and passing. When I found out I did well on my final projects and exams, I felt so relieved. I even got my final grades back for two classes (both As!!! so far…) and was really proud of myself. I told my mom, but she didn’t react at all, just switched topics.

What bothers me most is how she’ll interrupt my online classes or lectures, or expect me to prioritize household chores over studying when I’m home. I get that housekeeping is important, but it feels like she doesn’t see my education as a priority.

Does anyone else feel this way about their parents or family? Do they show interest in your studies, or is this common? I’d really like to hear about your experiences.
