Oh man does this ring a bell. When I use to live at my Moms home several years ago it was totally like this. Just cause I worked from home it meant I can take off anytime I wanted to run any eruns she needed help with.
Now that I live on my own it hasn't changed much. We have tons of relatives that visit from Italy all the time. My mom thinks that I should be able to take weeks off at a time when they visit so I can show them around.
The problem is that people see how much money we make and combine that with the fact that it's done from home and they think we have an easy gig.
But lets face it.... all of us that have been doing this full time for years and years.... Well back when we FIRST started we darn well took off whenever we wanted and still made fat bank. Times have changed and we no longer can goof off like before. The problem is friends and familiy don't realize that.
