Looking for your $.02

Looking for opinions:
If you have a specific skill or trade do you feel it's okay with charging immediate family members for your labor/time. For example, if you are a mechanic, would you charge your son or daughter, father or mother for your labor? Or do you feel like since they're your family (and let's of course say for arguments sake that everyone likes each other and has a good relationship of course
) you should give your help where you're able to and leave it up to the person on the receiving end to give if they should feel inclined?

Not sure about your situation. I would see paying for the parts, but I agree that paying for the labor does seem strange to me.
I have a friend whose dad pays him to do work (like yard work and such). But his dad makes a ton of money, and this is the only way my friend feels comfortable "taking" money from him. His siblings will take money without a care, but he will only "take" it if he works for it.
Not that this is helpful at all...
We're all begging to know what it is.
get a new dad. I hear Romania has a nice selection.
He charges you because he knows you feel entitled to have the work done for free.

What your dad is doing isn't so great but just to brush the annoyance, I'd pay him and never return for his assistance.

Correction.....your doctor made the world a better place.
Is how it works
