When family members don't understand your gig economy career choices

My adult kids keep asking me when I'm going to 'get a real job' and stop doing freelance consulting and I don't think they understand that this is actually working for me financially and personally. They seem worried about my retirement and stability but they won't listen when I try to explain my situation and it's becoming a thing at every family gathering.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Adult children and parent are operating from different models of what constitutes legitimate and secure work.
