My friends, boyfriend, and his mom all know and think it's pretty cool - the bf even helps out from time to time.
My mom had a hard enough problem realizing I was supporting myself with working online, so I had to deal with the 'do you have a real job yet' speech every time we talk. I can't say that I'm very much inclined to mention any of this part of it to her lol. I could only imagine the ranting then. :/
