I am Lutheran, and if what you say your family is insisting actually represents their veiwpoint, this is not the authentic teaching of the Lutheran Church. The Lutheran viewpoint is that God comes first, and when we are aligned with God, then we care for our children in the way that God intends for us to do. I would point your family to the book of Ephesians which takes a Christ-centric view of our roles in our various vocations in marriage, parenting, and employment. That being said, you may be drawing a dichotomy that doesn’t need to exist (not sure, so if it applies I hope it helps, if not disregard). You can be faithful to both God and your family at the same time.
