Well, sometimes family wants to know our source of income and make sure it is a clean source of income. Many people know that there are a lot of scams on the internet these days, and our family doesn't want us to be those people. Therefore, it is very important to let them know about the basics of what we do on the internet, so that they know too. However, as you said, it all depends on how your family perceives you. However, I feel that it is important.
You're right, our family sometimes wants to know our sources of income to ensure that we're earning good money and not stealing from others, however, our parents understand the pain it is to steal from someone to meet our daily needs because they wouldn't be happy if someone scammed them out of the money they need to support their family, so they want to ensure that we're not earning from the wrong source.
However, I have faced a similar situation in the past. My parents didn't ask me how I was making money without troubling them, but when one of my uncles noticed that I had changed and stopped asking for help, he informed my parents that I was engaging in fraud and scamming people to make money, which is why I no longer bothered them, my parents asked me how I was making money, but I didn't tell them how much I was making, I didn't think it was wrong of them to find out, all they wanted was to make sure I wasn't taking advantage of people to get money.
As a parent point of view then you would definitely be wanting to know on what you kids been doing or whatever the things they've been getting involved with on which we cant really just that let them
be not guided because there might be some possibilities that they might already doing something stupid or bad. As a kid or children then dont get mad if there would really be those kind of checks that
your parents been doing because this is really just that part of their responsibility on checking out their kids and trying out to monitor them whether they are still that doing good and having no problems
and if there's one then this is where we can make out those kind of open forum in regarding about our problems on which its a common approach thing. It would really be better that you should really be that
obeying on whatever they've been saying.
Speaking about telling your source of income then it would really be just that depending on you, if you do tend to make or keep it as a secret then better not make yourself
not too obvious when it comes on spending or buying on things because it would be impossible that your parents wouldnt be able to notice out specially if you are still that young
and didnt still finished up college and have job. lol
