I love exploiting this for my game. In fact, it's proven true enough to be a Law as far as I'm concerned:
The Law of the Players' Whim
"If you want to curse the player characters' family, just let the players take whatever kind of character they want."
Even with guidance, in two different set ups where all the players had to be brothers and sisters, I've only had one player create a character his father could be unreservedly proud of.
