It took me a ton of courage to tell my relative who has been using my services for free for 10 years that its time to start charging. I replayed the conversation in my head 100 times, felt awkward etc but eventually got over it. Had to make a phone call yesterday to give her her balance and she started fighting me on the (subsidized) charges.
This was a min after she finished telling me about the pesach program she went on this year. Banging head
Im done venting...

Congratulations! It's hard for some of us. But it does get easier with practice.

Good for you!
My sister is an accountant and does my taxes. My niece is a shaitel macher and does my shaitels. And my aunt is a PT and treated my son. And none will charge me or let me pay. I know they want me to use their service (my sister tells me to send my tax forms and my niece asks me for my shaitel if she hasn't done it in a while) but refuse anything in return. I always feel uncomfortable taking advantage. Sometimes I wish they would just charge me. I try to get them gifts as a show of my appreciation.

It gets easier with practice. And feels so freeing when you're not being taken advantage of!
