It may seem odd but it's normal- my mom took on adult responsibilities (worked 2 jobs, drove, and graduated a year early) at the age of 17 because her family was super poor. My grandma (her mom) a single mom, had to work 2 jobs to support her kids and barely got enough food stamps to feed her kids. My mom hated this life style and "grew up". At 17 she met my dad, married him and had me. So with adult responsibilities comes tiredness, etc.
My situation is a little different in that I have arthritis and have had 2 surgeries, had to make up school work using my non-dominant hand, had to deal with constant pain, doctor's visits, pain medications on top of school and trying to do things normal people can. I've lived with this for 10 years and after doing culinary school with no money and now working with this pain that has turned into fibromyalgia at the age of 21 I "feel old".
Just know that what you did was VERY mature and I'm sure your mom and brothers thank you! :)
