I've seen many of my friends in the same predicament as you. Their relatives would, for all intents, take advantage of them by using the "familial responsibility/obligation" angle, essentially expecting them to work for free.
In almost every one of these situations the family members not only want the designer to work for free, but they treat them like slaves, calling them at all hours of the day and micro-managing the entire process.
They also expect their project to take precedent over everything else because, well, they're "family".
In the end no one wins; the relationship between the individuals becomes frayed and full of stress, and the end-product is quite often far less than it could have been.
