You can survive the "kitchen wars"--and live in peace with your family

"My sisters-in-law couldn't stand me. I was really hurt when my kids weren't mentioned in their grandmother's obituary because they weren't 'full-blooded' family."

"My mom is always giving advice, always telling me to do such and such when she doesn't do it herself. If my husband and I have a fight, she takes his side "

"My sister did call me a week later to apologize but proceeded to tell me everything that was wrong with me, my husband, and my children."

Sound familiar? There's nothing new or unusual about conflict between mothers, sisters, and other female family members--but that doesn't make it any less painful or destructive. Adding to the hurt of relational abuse within the family is the permanent nature of the relationship: you can sever relations with an abusive friend, but you can't stop being the sister/daughter/niece of an abusive relative. Does that mean that there's no way out?

In Forced to Be Family, you'll discover how to determine whether a female family member is being abusive, recognize the sources of that abuse, and break the vicious cycle that keeps the abuse alive. You don't have to choose between accepting abuse and "making a scene." This insightful, reassuring guide gives you the strategies and understanding you need to reestablish warm and loving relationships with the women who will always be closest to you.

Good size
This works for most of the items (powder like cinnamon or beet root, etc.0 i need it for. I would like to have one that is 50 oz. It is airtight and a great product but I'm not convinced pumping it 20-30 times really helps.

Good product/unsure of air seal
We love this to hold our coffee beans, but we aren’t sure if it truly seals air out. It seems to work great though and our beans taste fresh!

Does not hold a vacuum
It does not hold a vacuum. I am able to pump and cause a vacuum where I cannot take the top off without pushing the relief button but give it a few hours and the vacuum is gone. Coffee is stale in a few days and I have gained nothing but the expense.

Does not hold a seal very long
Looks good. Quality materials and construction. Vacuum seal doesn’t seem to last very long. After a day the lid can be easily opened, regardless of how many times you pump it beforehand. More aesthetic than functional.
