Need some honest advice!

Here's some background. My family was taught by my grandpa to never do anything for free especially for family. My Mom has always invited me over to dinner and afterwards make me feel like I owe her and obligate me to make up for my debt (food). Since I've gotten healthy I turn down dinner with her.

So she asked if her, my grandma and my brother could come over and pressure wash our house. Knowing her, I should've known it was a scheme but, it looks like I'm a fool for giving her the benefit of the doubt. I told my husband about it and he told me to call and change the plans to see what she was really after. I called and sure enough she just wanted something.

Don't get me wrong I love helping my family but, I don't want to be the one everyone can rely on who gets nothing in return every time. I've tried being honest with her and the rest of my family by telling them to just be straight up with me instead of always trying to trick me. Talking with them goes no where. I'm on the verge of cutting them out of my life forever because of all the lies. They have NEVER been there for me when I need help.

Here's my question...

What would you do with your family if they treated you like this and talking did no good?

When your family is starting to take advantage of you, maybe even scam you? It's time to get away.

Thank you for the advice!

talk to them about it and if it does not stop you should probably start cutting some ties

I've already talked to them about it. It does nothing. Looks like cutting them off is what I am going to do.
