Um... that bad... no. I didn't face anything like that. Well, let them enjoy cleaning up chicken dung and you enjoy doing what your doing. Right now, everyone I know except my GF are against me going into the gaming industry. It's just a really difficult industry to get in as I see it. If you wanted to be a doctor, lawyer, or just about anything else, there's a college for that; however gaming.. you can't go to a university for that unless it's an "Independent University" and that costs A LOT!
This is something you should show your parents if their still iffy about it:

Other than that, you kinda get used to it, you find out more about the industry and the more I found out; the more I wanted it and wanted to defend it when people criticized it.
