I always refuse all helpers in the kitchen.
Not because of the size, but just fuck no. I don't want to clean up after some "helper" who managed to slice a single cucumber while getting in the way and leaving a chopping board, knife and excess cuttings all over the place because "I don't know where you want the dishes" or whatever. It's no help at all.
My mother in law is especially bad. She doesn't know where things are, how to cook or how to clean, but always insists on "helping".
I'm trying to cook here, not babysit a senior who doesn't accept that her role as provider is over. Go play with the grand kids. That's why we invited you as a guest.
My mom offers when she's over and she'd clean up. But I hate trying to delegate while trying to remember everything else I need to do. Plus my kitchen is very small and two people would make it difficult.
