That's an allusion is to my FAQ

FAQ     . . Creating variables recording prop. of the other members of a group
        . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  N. J. Cox
        4/05    How do I create variables summarizing for each
                individual properties of the other members of a
                group?

I don't know why you report problems. The code suggested there works
as intended. Here it is again run on your example data:

. by ID_fam (ID), sort: gen pid = _n

. gen byte fid = .
(7 missing values generated)

. gen byte mid = .
(7 missing values generated)

. summarize pid, meanonly

. forval i = 1 / `r(max)' {
  2.                 by ID_fam: replace fid = `i' if ID_F == ID[`i'] &
!missing(ID_F)
  3.                 by ID_fam: replace mid = `i' if ID_M == ID[`i'] &
!missing(ID_M)
  4. }

Using the same logic, we copy parents' employment and mothers' BMI as desired:

. gen BMI_M = .
(7 missing values generated)

. gen Emp_M = .
(7 missing values generated)

. gen Emp_F = .
(7 missing values generated)

. summarize pid, meanonly

. forval i = 1 / `r(max)' {
  2.     by ID_fam: replace BMI_M = BMI[`i'] if ID_M == ID[`i'] & !missing(ID_M)
  3.     by ID_fam: replace Emp_M = Emp[`i'] if ID_M == ID[`i'] & !missing(ID_M)
  4.     by ID_fam: replace Emp_F = Emp[`i'] if ID_F == ID[`i'] & !missing(ID_F)
  5. }
