Hello, I want to share here what worries me and ask for advice from you. I am a sophomore nurse. I do very well with the university, as I did very well at school, I even graduated with excellent results. Well, my mother and I have had many conflicts about not comparing me to people who study medicine, because she often did, so today it was about that again. My father said: Why don't you become a doctor? He jokes, and I get very annoyed when they tell me so, because the first thing is that I never wanted this and the second - I didn't even try to apply to be accepted. I say this because if, for example, I had wanted this thing and they had not accepted me, it would have been more appropriate for them to make any comments. And today, when my father said that, she thought about it and said, "Well, this is not easy. "It's as if he underestimates me and doesn't believe in my abilities. It hurt me a lot and we quarreled. I want advice from you, how would you react in such a situation, how would you feel, how should I deal with it?"

Your parents want you to be a doctor, for reasons and for which you can think of yourself. Everyone knows that applying for medicine is quite competitive. This is the reason why they talk to you like that. They believe that after being an excellent student you could to become a doctor. Eventually. Such are the parents - they worry about their children and want the best they can. Children usually cannot realize this, and when they can, it is too late. What can you do after you have already chosen to be honey. a nurse, not a doctor? Well, talk to them seriously and explain to them that they will leave you alone.
