Constantly enabling my mom's language barrier

I'm exhausted from constantly translating and helping my mom with everyday tasks, despite her ability to speak English.

What I wish I knew
"Why my mom refuses to use her English skills in practical situations"
If I could tell you one thing
"Set clear boundaries and prioritize your own needs in similar situations"
