I go both ways at different time, depending on my mood, and who I'd have to be working with. I've got friends I love to dabble with, doesn't matter what, we just work together and it's great fun. Some people have to have things done their own way which makes it less fun.
And then there's kids. I spend most of my life working with one or more kids (less and less small, but one's still a toddler). Things take approximately 4 times a long when kids that age are "helping" (and require a challenging amount of patience). Often I bite the bullet and we do whatever it is together, because how else will they learn to do these things (laundry, cooking, gardening, crafts...). But when I have the chance, it's refreshing to disappear inside myself and do whatever it is my way without really thinking about it or how anyone else is doing it. Then it becomes a form of "me time".
