Where parents and children are living together as members of a family, services rendered by one for the other, come within this rule, and do not of themselves establish any implied contract to make compensation therefor.1 Thus, if a parent renders services for a child,2 as where a father takes care of a horse for his son,3 there is no implied promise to pay therefor. The same principle applies where a parent furnishes provisions to her daughter as a gift. The husband of the daughter cannot be held liable to make compensation therefor, as on an implied contract.4 So, if a child renders services to a parent,5 as where board, care and lodging are furnished to a parent by a child,6 there is no implied liability on the part of the parent to make compensation therefor. This principle is not confined to cases where a child is a minor, and is therefor not to be referred solely to the fact that the earnings of the minor are the property of his parents. The principle is the same where an adult child lives with his parents as a member of the family, and receives his board and renders services. Even in such a case, there is, on the one hand, no implied liability of the child to pay for his board; and, on the other hand, there is no implied liability of the parents to pay for the services of the child.7 So, where an uncle, A, requested a minor child, B, who had been emancipated by his father, C, to work for C, and had expressed his approval of his conduct in so doing, no implied contract exists on the part of A to pay B for such services.8 The same principle applies to services rendered by brothers and sisters, each for the other, where they are living together in one family. No liability to make compensation is created by the mere fact of the rendition of the services in the absence of anything to show some understanding that compensation should be made.9 Accordingly the courts commits no error in refusing to allow a question to be answered, which was intended to call forth evidence that the sister had rendered the services at the request of her brothers.10 The same principle applies as between grandparents and grandchildren.11 If they are living together in one family, a grandchild cannot recover for personal services rendered to his grandparents.12 Similar considerations apply to services rendered between persons' more remotely related, living together as one family, as between cousins.13
