Mike and I were happy when we got married two years ago.
Then, he and his parents, Maureen and Richard, began treating me like their unpaid chef and housekeeper. So, of course, they all expected me to host Thanksgiving. We’d only invited Mike’s parents and his two brothers, but even a small Thanksgiving meant a mountain of expectations for me.
Two weeks before the holiday, Mike took his laziness to a new level. We were going over our budget. Money had been tight lately.
Tight enough that I’d been setting aside small amounts, knowing Mike’s spending habits weren’t exactly responsible. He flung our last $20 bill at me. “Here, make Thanksgiving dinner with this.”
I laughed.
“$20? That won’t even cover a turkey.”
“Mom always made amazing dinners with no money. Figure it out.”
I couldn’t believe it.
For two years, I had poured my heart into this marriage, only to have him throw this in my face. Something in me snapped. I decided right then to show Mike just how clever I could be.
That $20 Mike so generously offered stayed exactly where he left it. Instead, I dipped into my secret savings. I wasn’t just planning a dinner.
I was planning a statement. I ordered a catered Thanksgiving feast from the best place in town. I also picked up beautiful table settings and decorations because if I was going out, I was going out with style.
On Thanksgiving morning, the house looked like something out of a holiday catalog. Our guests arrived, and the compliments started pouring in as everyone loaded their plates. Then, Mike raised his glass.
“To Alyssa, the best cook in the family!” he said. I took a deep breath and stood, holding my glass. “Thank you, Mike.
I’d like to say a few words before we dig in.”
All eyes turned to me. The room fell silent as my gaze shifted from Maureen to Richard, and then to my dearest husband. “This year, I wanted to make Thanksgiving truly special,” I began.
“You see, Mike gave me a generous $20 budget to work with, so I had to get a little creative.”
Maureen’s fork froze mid-air, and Richard glanced at Mike, who shifted uncomfortably in his chair. Meanwhile, his brothers exchanged awkward looks. They couldn’t believe Mike expected me to prepare a lavish dinner with just twenty bucks.
“But while planning dinner, I realized it’s not just about the food or the decorations. It’s about the effort and respect that go into making a home feel like a family. And then it hit me… I’ve been doing this alone for two years.”
Mike cleared his throat.
