📝 AITAH for telling my mom just because she has a surgery tomorrow, I won't do all the housework?

I (19F) have a presentation coming up tomorrow and its about the website me and my team developed. About 4 computer languages in one type of thing. So, I was preparing for this.

Recently, what I have noticed is that whenever I have a test coming up, my mom always asks me to do stuff around the house. For example, today when I was having breakfast she asked me to go grab all the cloth from the balcony since it was raining. Then when I was prepping for the presentation, she asked me to go grab some curry leaves from the tree (We got a plant in our background). Then a few minutes later, she asked me to sweep the whole house. I did all that and she still kept telling me to do all sorts of things.

I didn't have time to revise AND do all the housework so I told my mom that I can't after I did all those things. When I bought up about my presentations, she kept telling me on how she does all the housework around the house (Mind you, I clean the whole house 2 times a week and sweep the bottom floor of the house every night before sleeping. It's not like I'm not helping at all). I told her I would do all the stuff after I finished revising but started yelling at me. She then started telling me that becuz of her surgery I have to do everything (She got an eye surgery tmrw). After this I told her that "I won't do all the housework just because you got a surgery tomorrow".

AITAH for telling her that?
