Who knows about your online business and how do they react?

Over the weekend I had a small reunion with some family friends and close relatives. My loved ones have a tendency to inquire about where I am career wise, accomplishments etc.. which I am comfortable with discussing. However, one this occasion things went in a slightly different direction than normal.
Since mid February 2014 I've been working diligently on my website. My immediate family know about my website and they support me, but my extended family did not know. During the weekend reunion I decided to share my passion with a few relatives and lets just say I was met with skepticism and dismissal. They nodded and agreed but I could tell they didn't take me seriously, in fact they were more intrigued by my mundane job than my website *sigh*. Well they're going to be in for a surprise when I showcase my website and eventually become the entrepreneur that I'm destined to be.
The plan is to unveil my website to loved ones once I build up some more content which shouldn't be too long now.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone else has been met with a similar response of doubt? Have you shown or told your friends and/or family about your online business or are you choosing to remain low key for the time being?
