Honestly, I don't care. The most important thing for me is that I satisfy my ambition and passion. My family has the right to not be short with them in life. Either I play poker in my spare time or when I don't have a commitment to family or work.

In my case yes, but with the time! and now i am a professional of poker online! what was your experience in this aspect with family and friends? thanks!
I'm not a professional, and probably never will be. I just have other goals. My main goal is to have fun and be distracted. Poker is just a hobby for me. Besides, I live alone and do what I want :)

It is not something that matters to my family, because I am already an adult, I have a profession, work and poker is something that helps me earn extra money

Most of my family and friends play poker, but they don't play poker online, but we all would like to make a lot of money at poker.

Yes, my friends and family know that I play poker and make money playing poker, they are fine and they know if I'm serious about poker I'll get a lot of money but I'm not that busy right now, only poker has a job, so I try to play in my spare time and still try to learn because poker always needs to be trained

Friends and family asked me does it make you happy? I answered yes, then they said go for it.

My wife accompanies me when I go to a poker house, online she doesn't watch it but always asks how the day was at poker, she supports it and sometimes questions why the move I made

It was a bit difficult for me to accept. My father maybe never.
He was a manual worker, and I couldn't make him understand that poker is not a game of chance.
After I lived on this for more than 10 years, earning much more than the national average wage, he couldn't accept it either.
My mother accepted it.
However, my current serious relationships also always had a problem with not having a predictable monthly income.

Although I'm not pursuing being a pro, I explained carefully how to manage the game in order to don't risk my house economy (basically I started with freerolls and never deposited).

My wife is satisfied as long as I put extra money into the family budget :) as soon as I go out, she starts getting angry... no matter what I did or what I bought.

For me, my brother also plays poker.
But the rest of the family sees what my brother and I do as playing video games.
But I think what is important is that they do not interfere in my private affairs, and this is the most important thing.

I suppose I am lucky in one respect, I never wanted to become a Professional Poker Player, Sure I enjoyed playing and even enjoyed the travelling to different Tournaments, but I have never left the UK. for a game. The idea of living out of a suitcase catching flights to different Countries to chase a dream, has never appealed to me.
I am happy being an Amateur Player, and treating Poker as nothing more than a Hobby, as long as my Hobby is self financing and it is not taking money away from my Family, Then they are also happy.
All my travelling expenses like Trains, Taxis, and Hotel bills have all been covered by previous Wins from the game, otherwise I just wouldn't play.

Sometimes poker is difficult to reconcile with the realities of life and the game can affect many aspects of life. The player has to constantly find ways of trusting communication with loved ones in order to avoid discord.Do not take out your anger on loved ones after a failure and do not let poker absorb you completely.My family doesn't mind me playing.
