Family come first, everyone is equal and don't mind to be taken advantage.

Hi everyone, I would like to ask/ know: 1. is there any guideline in Buddhism that family come first? Or in general everyone is equal? As My big family consider is a traditional Buddhist family, I ask this question because some of my big family is prefer to choose everyone is equal. She treat other family member same as she treat other people that need help. Example: One of the family member has mild disability. We all family member have routine task to do every week. She insisted every family member have to do their part regarding has or not mild disability. So while other family member agree to cover the schedule of member that has mild disability, she prefer do equally schedule without need to cover the of member that has mild disability. I sad, as she consider active volunteering in 1-2 big and well organized Buddhist temples and others non-profit humanity organization, but simply can't help little extra to own family member that has mild disability. If there is a guide in Buddhism for family come first, can share what actually written in Buddhist book/ sutra?

1. Many times, I heard from Dharma talk or read from Buddhist book/ article about don't mind to be taken advantage. But those stories/ articles are not mention what is the limit of don't mind to be taken advantage? or there is no limit? What actually written in Buddhist book/ sutra about don't mind to be taken advantage? Also how to stop to be feel be taken advantage?

Thanks in advance for any sharing opinion.
