So you are taking the first step to becoming a responsible adult. Congratulations! And with adulthood come the responsibilites......and just what are those responsibilities?
Well, you need a budget. Income on one side and every expense you will be paying on the other. I find percentages work best. Determine what is left once you meet your financial obligations. Will you pay a percentage as rent to your parents? How much needs to be set aside monthly for birthdays and holidays? Will you make a contribution for food? How much goes to savings? (This needs to be a separate account and is your gift to your future.) Do the math.
Then sit together with your mother and show her the budget you did. Let her know how much you intend to contribute, and where you have decided the rest of your income will go. Ask if there is anything else she needs from you.
I can tell you are a good child. Make responsible decisions and your family will treat you with respect. Try to see where you need to be in timeframes. Set your goals. Do not lend money or give money away. If someone asks say, "Mom and Dad handle my money." Which is true because you are honoring them when you remain financially stable. I am sure your family is proud of you. You are doing a really good job of growing up.

I guess it all depends on your perspective ....
If you live at home ... Yes you still have chores to do, and as a family member you still have those responsibilities to help around the house and attend (if possible) family functions.
If you live on your own ... You should make a effort to visit & speak with (from time to time) them folks what brung ya up !
If you have a room mate (who ever) You still have bills and a job to dael with first ... but never leave out the family .... They will be family for ever !!
You are now a member of the adult, over worked and under paid majority ..... Welcome aboard !!

Not exactly sure what you mean...but perhaps you can spend quality time with your family and don't get so caught up with work. Also, you can offer to help financially at home, with the bills and everything.

not sure what you mean, but why would you need to please your mother and relatives? swhouldn;t they simply be happy for you and supportive?

Your mother will never be satisfied. A wise man once said You can't please everyone all the time. Sometimes you've got to please yourself.
