Take @dLockers advice. Probation works both ways.
As simple as this OP.

What is it with the influx of people these days who can't seem to manage even the most basic aspects of life?
Hey now this isn't a Scam thread! Be fair.

Best thing is dlockers advice - wouldn't mention to current employer in case you don't get the job. Best of luck 
See how you received good advice from folk but you chose to be aggy with the folk throwing stones? Yeah, that's a bad personality trait.
I didn’t say you should be an Andrea, I just felt you would be. No offence meant. And certainly not a Karen. No one likes a Karen!
If responding to them is a bad personality trait, what do you think of the people needlessly being aggravational in the first place?

Yes, be honest in the interview. Also, don’t tell them you’re a Karen. No one likes a Karen.
Oh they are horrible people. Any one causing aggravation in the first place is horrible. A bit like Karen’s. No one likes a Karen.

@SheIsAJ
Do this, don't mention it to the current employer until you get an offer (if you need to take time off for the interview then you could either be upfront about it or just call in 'sick', as if you don't get it, being upfront may cause friction with current employer).
If they new role ask in the interview about current situation, say "the distance is causing me more issues than anticipated" actually just say it's closer and would work better for you, if you don't want to mention your mother's health needs.
If the current role ask why you are leaving so soon, just be upfront: "I appreciate the opportunity but it's not working out for me in terms of how it fits in to my life" they shouldn't have any issue with that and if they do, it's on them and not you (especially as it's a lower role than the one you applied for!), you don't 'owe' them anything beyond that.
Regarding the rest of the thread, I have no idea why @Thekwango assumed your name to be Andrea, maybe it's an old in-joke that I missed, but you could have just ignored it and carried on with the discussion, instead your response seemed indignant and defensive, as did some of your further responses in this thread.
I'm not trying to have a go, but many of the users here are a bit older (and hence can be a bit blunt) and we have had a recent influx of new posters with some rather bizarre/common sense questions (as @Malevolence referenced) on what is, ostensibly at least, a computer hardware forum!
Best of luck!
