My dad asked for "a little help" with his construction work, and it's became a multi-day job, 10+ hours a day, in 31 C humid weather
I love my parents but why do they do this to me
If he's not paying you, then you can just not. You can just say you're giving up. Informed consent is an important factor in agreeing to help a family member.
I may curse about the work they give me, but I'll never refuse to help them when they need it
