I refused to mentor a new coworker who is rude

I was asked to help train a new hire at work. At first, I tried to be patient, but they constantly interrupt, dismiss feedback, and even make snide comments. I feel like I’m doing all the work while they act entitled. I don’t want to deal with their attitude, but management expects me to help. Am I being unreasonable for saying no, or is this part of professional responsibility?
