Should I charge a different rate for friends/family?

I'm using this as a replacement for my previous question, as that was more of a forum style question, and not a Q/A. I realise that this could still be quite ambiguos, but would include detail in the question like "I propose to charge my friends/family £x / hour for my services, compared to £y / hour for other clients. I am just starting out, and don't know whether I should even be doing this", etc. – kolin Feb 15 '13 at 9:24
