My Mother-in-Law Ordered Me to Wake Up at 4 A.M. to Cook Thanksgiving for 30 — So I Left at 3 A.M. Instead

workload breakdown:
• 32 guests (double previous year’s 15)
• 10+ hours of solo cooking time (3:30 AM – 2:00 PM)
• Turkey with 3 different stuffings + ham + 7 sides + 4 desserts
• $800+ in groceries (not including her labor)
• Zero help offered, zero appreciation expected
Market value of professional catering for 32 people: $2,400-$3,200
