I have no more relatives playng the game, so I don't have to worry about it. I have called twice with partners who had daughters or grnad daughters on the field. Both times, I took the plate, they had the bases and we asked the coaches before entering the field if it would be a problem. Fortunately, both my partners' reputations were so good, no one objected.
I have called a team whose coach was the other coach on my teams when we won Nationals. He hated to see me come on the field, because he knew he wasn't gonna get a break for anything. But he knew it was because everyone knew we had coached toghether for years. He was OK with it, he just told the girls they'd have to earn the win tonite. Of course, the parents weren't cheering me on when I walked on the field.
