AITAH? Mom asks for help studying then gets offended by my advice
ok so i’ve been studying korean for nearly 10 years and atp i have like C1 level of proficiency. my mother has been studying for abt 3 to 4 years and she’s in class for what would be equivalent to B1 i guess, and she’s struggling, saying she’s gonna quit. she’s been through this and said this multiple times over the years already, and i’m always telling her not to give up and to keep going.
so now at b1 level and the higher the levels things get obviously harder too. thing is my mom may have adhd AND she’s on her phone way too much, so her attention span and focusing skills are rly bad, which doesn’t help.
enough backgroung context, now for whats currently going on: my mom just asked me to help her with her homework. now, im not opposed to helping her out (when im in the mood, bc very often im too anxious and stressed and pissed off, for me being me reasons, nothing to do with her), but what she usually does is, right off the bat, before even starting, before even trying to do it by herself, she asks for my help like she did just now. and, you know, that doesn’t really help her either. that creates a reliance like that of people with chatgpt. why will she make any effort to think and learn and remember anything if she can just ask me right away? and so i try to give her advice on that, saying she needs to do it on her own first, she needs to at least try it on her own first, bc thats how you learn. if you cant remember a word and you immediately look it up on google, your brain wont make any effort to remember that word bc it knows you can just look it up on google easily. but if you can’t remember a word and you keep trying to remember it at least for a little while, even if at the end you cant remember it by yourself and have to look it up, your brain will remember that struggle and will understand that this is something important to remember, so it won’t forget it easily again. so i tell her that, i say i cant just give her answers bc she wont make any effort and so she wont learn anything and i cant learn for her, i cant remember for her. but she gets upset, says she just wants me to explain, not give her the answers, and then she doesn’t wanna listen to anything i say anymore and just ignores me and gives me the silent treatment. something i have to point out too is that if i “explained” like she says she wants me too, i’d basically be doing the reading comprehension for her. and she’s already so bad at that. and she’s even said she has been bad at that since school days. so i mean?? what the hell can i do? am i the asshole here? what did i do wrong? bc the way i see it she got offended maybe because in her head what i was saying is the same as calling her stupid or lazy. and because i was saying “you”, so i guess she thought i meant her specifically, but it was the general you, the universal you. i could have phrased it differently like with “someone” but then she might not have actually understood and/or she would still be offended because she’d take it as me throwing shade at her or something.
problem is, now she’ll stay upset with me and giving me the silent treatment for who knows how long. anyways, what do you guys think?

목이 많이 아파서 파라세타몰을 먹을 거예요
입이 잘 열리지도 않다 ㅠ
아마도.. 지난 날에 마사지 때문이다
아무튼 오늘 날씨가 안 좋다. 오늘 밤에 비가 많이 올 거 같다고 했다… 3월과 11월도 어려운 달이다 그러니까 재앙이 없었으면 좋겠다
My neck hurts a lotso I will take paracetamol
I cannot even open my mouth well
Maybe… It’s because of the massage the other day
Anyway today the weather is not good. They said this night it will rain a lot… March and November are difficult months so I hope there won’t be disasters
