Okay, this idea that women are not able to manage household by themselves is not true unless they are not themselves earning a living. Your mother is earning(though less) so she will manage the house alright on her own with the pension and some help from your side.

From what you have written, I think your main concern is your sister's future and that is really laudable. But never tell anyone what not to do, because that never works. If your sister wants to become a singer, there is nothing wrong in that. In fact making money out of your hobby is one of the best things in life But tell her that singing is a very competitive field. And it is also a very exploitative field. If she wants to excel at singing then she has to combine that with STEM subjects. For example, there are university courses that teach mathematical music theory. This will give her an advantage in not only understanding music, but also maths and computing. She can then use that knowledge to create her music and songs that will have an edge over others.

Do not force her to become a doctor. Think of the patients too. Here is something to brighten up your mood and explain why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh0-x1RFEOY
