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.
