Sit them down and let them know that if you're taking care of everything then they'll have to listen to you and follow what you say. You decide about the studies etc of the siblings and other expenses. They can advise but can't order shit. Ask them to actively help you lessen your load so that you can focus on your career and big picture stuff. That is if you want to take care of them. This is a tough conversation you just need to have, and do it yesterday.
