Kinda goes with the territory, being the only one in the family with the skills....

So far, it's been a little easier this year than in the past; my sister and her husband haven't expressed any interest in riding this year so far -- in fact, when a "new saddle" discussion came up with my sister, she gave up her once-ridden Selle SMP Trk for my daughter's new build. So Sis has NO SADDLE!

My daughter has her new bike; my 2 nephews each have one -- the 19-y-o's bike has been upgraded, the 10-y-o's bike tuned and adjusted for him. (He's so impatient to grow up, he keeps after me to raise his saddle, although it's perfect for him!) 'Elder nephew' uses his to get around to friends' houses, rather than any fun group/family rides -- he's "outgrown" a family trip, gets impatient with his little brother.

Any maintenance that comes up is pretty sporadic -- which is a good thing. Some days, after building crap for 8 hours, I just don't want to see another repair........
