Why does my mom bring up other people’s children?

My mom keeps saying how other people my age have masters degrees even though I’ve already expressed my interest in grad programs and even applied to one in a different country. When my interview came i told her i had to sleep early esp bc of time zones. Ofc she thought it’d be ok to make noises all night. I was so exhausted in my interview and it wasn’t a typical interview either. Im still waiting to hear back but if im not accepted i can’t wait to never let her hear the end of it.

It still pisses me off. Like you never shut up about a grad degree and when I get the opportunity you do the worst thing possible by not allowing me to rest.
