When thank you isn't enough?

How do you deal with a family member who constantly sees interactions with you in financial transactions terms?

When they offer to do a favor for me, then a verbal expression of gratitude isn't enough in their mind, but I should have offered to compensate them financially as well.

Is there a name for this money relationship style? It's very outputting to me because I do a lot of unpaid emotional labor for them and I don't ask to be compensated. I just do it because we're family and that's what you do for family members.

I'm not sure how to handle someone with this kind of relationship to money, but it makes me want to keep an arms distance from this person and avoid being indebted to them in any way.

Is there something akin to ask vs. guess culture , but for how people relate to money?
