"お母さんが「アドバイスが欲しい?」と聞くとき、それはただの形式的なものです。あなたがはいと答えてもいいえと答えても関係ありません。どちらにしても結局アドバイスを受けることになります。"

Simplified meaning
When your mom asks if you want advice, she's not really asking for your permission. She will give you the advice no matter what you say. It's like when someone offers you help, but they start helping even before you respond. For example, think of a time when you tried to solve a problem on your own, but your mom still stepped in to tell you what to do. Sometimes parents just want to share their wisdom with you because they care. So, even if you feel like you don't need the advice, it's good to listen because it might be useful.
