We're all generally happy to help out our family members every once in a while. It takes a village, we know, and we all take turns being that village for each other. Also, having a niece or nephew can be a beautiful thing. You get the fun of hanging out with a kid and watching them grow up, without the responsibility and hassle of being a parent. Family members are essential parts of the business of raising a child.

But there is, of course, a line. Volunteering your time is just that, volunteering. Since you aren't being compensated for your work, it has to come out of the kindness of your heart. Of course, we must make sacrifices for one another or we'd just walk around being narcissists with transactional relationships, but there is absolutely a happy medium.
