It isn’t always the easiest thing to play someone in your immediate family, but it is sometimes necessary. In small events (local local club tournaments) it cannot always be avoided, although I was a little fortunate in avoiding my son in a lot of tournaments (I started with 3 wins in standard chess, but that was it for me).
In bigger events it is less likely to happen, but depending on the profile of the players, it can often draw a crowd.
