Chi-Chi is a worse Mother

How so?

Doesn't care about what Gohan wants and forces him to study non-stop, even when the world is at stake(which is funny because if Gohan hadn't basically disobeyed her orders to study, Cell would have blown up the earth and there wouldn't be anything to even study, so she's not just selfish, she's stupid too).

Her reasoning is sound: she doesn't want Gohan to grow up and be a jobless fight junky like his father. If you acknowledge that Goku is a shitty father, and Chi-Chi's stated reasons for forcing Gohan to study is so he doesn't end up just like his father, then how is she an even worse parent because of it? Sure, Gohan was necessary to save the world, but that's only because Goku's style of taking care of threats made Gohan's presence necessary. If Goku were to actually take care of business instead of joking around so that cataclysmic events can become even more cataclysmic simply for his own amusement, then Gohan wouldn't have even been necessary at all. Chi-Chi can't possibly exert control over her husband, but she absolutely can over her son. There's nothing wrong with her parenting, Goku is just a fuck up both as a father and as a savior, so Chi-Chi's style of parenting is merely reflected in that context.

didnt he force gohan to study something of her choice ?i allways saw her as someone who decides everything for their children in other words shes almost saying
"youll go to this school youll study this and this is will be your job "

I mean, why wouldn't you want your child to be in a STEM field?

Gohan after all that studying is just a useless Bulma

Because I want my child to actually get a job that pays money and not have to do free labor for "experience"

I thought they were the money field jobs. Isn't the alternative the liberal/conservative arts?

Right now money jobs are all trade schools. You might make a lot of money in STEM, but ONLY if you have experience, and right now, the field is bloated with people who went to college for it.
