This has been exactly my experience. My family is used to me advocating for various “security best practices.” I’ve always been the “family tech support guy,” so I have ~15+ years of accumulated goodwill. Some folks were a little more resistant than others, but so far there’s been enough family/social pressure.

I’m not the most patient person, but I’ve made extra efforts to be patient with this. I’ve also done everything I can to include/involve interested family members in the process. We have a channel dedicated to feedback on Mattermost itself, and I’ve been able to recruit a few folks to help me evangelize.

I may not be able to change the world, but I can make a difference to those closest to me. I am extremely fortunate to have a family that humors me.
