Not a family member, but I have a friend who recommends really menial jobs to me, stuff that's very entry level when I've been in my field for over 15 years! He would get upset when I didn't follow up on his lousy leads. So annoying. It definitely affected our friendship. I don't tell my parents anything - they wouldn't understand.
It's maddening, unwanted advice and people who get snotty when you don't take it!
