Does she have a disability? Health problems? Is incapacitated?
None of the above. She has a job and a 2 year old kid, who apparently has also cried in the past because I refused to see them during the exam phase of the degree I am pursuing, in case they get covid and I then cannot participate in the exams. They got covid soon after that phase was over, so it was like a total of 2 months that they didn't see me. But, I mean, it's not unreasonable, if I can't write the exams, I lose half a year... I hate that I have to justify these things.

She is a single mum though, but I'm not her babysitter, though sometimes I feel like it. Love the kid, btw, but there is a limit of how much time I want to spend with him, too. I'm studying, and working, it's not like I'm sitting around doing nothing.
