Same here

My DH and my grown son and daughter-in-law undertand it's a JOB... (they see me working all the time) but other than that my step-kids, their spouses, extended family and just about everybody else thinks that it's just doing some typing.. and anybody can do it... one of them have even asked me for a job.. "My wife's smart... I'm sure she can learn it in a week or two".... UGH!!!!      Just set your boundries about your work schedule, etc. and ignore the rest of it... they will never GET IT.
