    Hi Kim, Yes, this is a tough one. I look at my family as my best non
    paying customers. I lov'em to death, but.... It sounds like they
    don't respect what you do and that can't happen. I try to keep
    things on the light side when working with family and if they don't
    want to pay the price you tell them, let them know you understand
    and it's not a problem and keep it at that. 

    On your sister-in-law....I would politely ask for it back if she's
    uncomfortable with the price and go on with life. I've never had
    that happen and hope it doesn't. My family does provide many
    referrals, so I do take that into consideration and they do get a
    very good deal, but, you need to make something. Do they refer
    clients to you? If not, I wouldn't worry about it. Always try to do
    what you think is right and treat people the way you want to be
    treated....until it's time not to. You know when you're being taken
    advantage of. 

Good luck, Scott
