I got a tiny bit annoyed
because my dad kept wandering in and helping. Eventually we had harsh words over the right time to put the pigs in blankets in the oven. It wasn't enjoyable it was just something I did. I have no natural talent for cooking

My mother did note that it was the tidiest kitchen she had ever seen after a Christmas dinner was made. Everything got put away instantly or stacked in the dishwasher so I was pretty regimented.

i'm like that
But only because my kitchen is miniscule and if there's any amount of mess there's no actual room for cooking. And my mum and I were exactly the same as you and your dad, except about the roast potatoes. I hate it when people hover helpfully in the kitchen when i'm doing stuff.
