I started subletting a room from my friend 5 days ago. On the day I moved in, one of the roommates had torn her achilles (which obviously sucks) and needed a lot of help around the place. Which I'm happy to offer help with here and there, but this girl asks without sounding very apologetic about it (can you wash my dishes/can you make me toast/can you help me with my laundry). I'd be super happy to help if this was a friend but this girl is a stranger and my life is very busy currently. Whilst washing her dishes, I casually suggest how about going home for a little bit whilst it heals? Her dad drove up the other day to drop her at the emergency room and sounded lovely and then drove back, so I know she's not estranged from at least one parent. She says nah, she's lucky to have her parents close by (1.5 hour drive away) and that they're retired, but she has an appointment to change the cast every 2 weeks or so. Plus, she wants to stay in the city where her friends are (she points out that she went to a party last weekend where her friends signed her cast). I was confused at this- why would you want to inconvenience strangers/roommates into helping you for 6 weeks when you can get full-time care from your retired parents? Sometimes I avoid going to the kitchen at the same time as her so I can avoid helping her when I'm working from home. Am I AITA here and just being really unempathetic and cold to her situation here? I don't want to say anything to cause problems because I'm so new to the house and don't want anything to be awkward because the rest of the house are lovely.
