Do you get frustrated when others don't take your online business serious?

I get really peeved when my family acts like the online work I do is nothing. Right now I live with my parents, my sister and her 4 children and my daughter. They make comments like, "all she does is stay on that computer" or "if she got off the computer she could get something done". The children constantly bug me with questions and problems because to them I am the only adult "available". Grandma and grandpa are "busy" watching TV. They don't realize that this is actual work and my brain gets fried as I try to put take in and implement all this info and tracking ads, seeing what works, what doesn't, creating new ads, etc. I use to have the same problem when I started doing mystery shopping and merchandising until I started bringing home $400.00+ checks. I wish they could realize this is hard work, in fact harder than going to a 9 to 5 where someone tells you what to do for most of your day. With this, the buck stops with me. If I don't make it work, there is no paycheck! Anybody else feel this way?

Ouch I absolutely feel your pain. I am going through the very same thing. It is possible to make a decent income online but its hard to do when your family will not leave you alone! Try having to share a computer with your family! grrrr.
