family advice
Kin offer counsel
Advice given by or among family members, typically unsolicited and colored by personal history.
Family advice often comes with emotional weight that professional counsel lacks—it may be deeply caring or maddeningly intrusive: I love my mother, but I didn't ask for her family advice on my marriage.
The phrase sometimes carries ironic edge, suggesting advice that's well-meaning but unwelcome.
