Family. OY! I hate that! I suppose, just make yourself less accessible. Resist getting the phone when they call. If they leave a message, give an extra day to call back. You never will be able to teach somebody right from wrong, so just take care of yourself and your immediate family, and STOP helping losers like that.
You also mentioned:
...When anyone told her no they were busy doing something else she would get all bent out of shape and say see if I do anything for you again..."
If she gets that cranky, remind her that she has never really done anything for you.
These people have no idea what it's like to be on the other side. Resist and stop helping. Blacklisting? Yeah, go for it. Put me on the list. I want YOU to know that I would rather be on that list and not hear from your sorry ass.
Do it. Your life will be better. You owe them: nothing. You owe yourself: everything.
