I always help my parents because they bought me my first computer and taught me how to use it and paid the Internet bill for years just for me to learn how to use a computer. And they hardly complained when we had to dial long distance to get on AOL. I don't think I could ever repay that, so I always help no questions asked. Broadening the question from "parents" to "family members", I treat it like any other request for help. If I owe them a favor, I'll do it no questions asked. Otherwise if I can help and I have time to help and it's not out of my way to help, I'll do it. I'm not going to drive 45 minutes out of my way to spend my Saturday helping my wife's second cousin with their printer unless I owe them a favor, but if they bring it to me at a family event I'm already attending I will give it a try. |
