Do your friends and family know you're on MyLot?

Just wondering how many of us tell/share our experience of MyLot with friends and family. Unfortunately, I don't. They would just laugh and tell me to get a "real job". They see me typing away on my laptop but never ask any questions and when they get close, I just "click" open a new page. What about you?

I have told people about me doing My lot but I just get laughed at. I now hide being on here because my boyfriend thinks that it is a chat site and does not even want to understand what My lot is about. I try getting on here for a couple hours in the morning while he is at work. But I do the same as you when someone walks by my computer I will minimize my my lot page.

Yes, actually they first laughed when i told them that i was earning online, but after my first payment i sure showed them. Although they won't join here (as my referrals unfortunately) at least they stopped making fun of me.

I ahve a real job, I don't treat mylot as a job but as a nice forum that gives me extra money to spend on my hobby^_^ But it's not like I tell everybody that I post here. My mum knows but she's not into internet so she probably doesn't understand what a word "forum" means xD I know some people may think that mylot gives you pennies and laugh at you but that's fun to post here and if it pays then it's better for us^_^

My family knows that I post on mylot sometimes my husband will come back and read what I am typing but he gets bored and goes out in the other room. I don't have anything to hide from him so see no reason to open a new tab. Keep on mylotting and have a great day.

People know what I do in my spare time, they do not say much but I know that they do not see the point of me sitting at a computer all day just for a small amount of money. None of them seem to see it as being interesting like I do! Oh well, never mind it is my choice not theirs!

It doesn't matter to me whether they know or not! I try to recommend some of the sites I'm on to my friends and sometimes they join, but most of the time they just say "whatever." Oh well, their loss, right?

My family know that im here in mylot but they discourage me why im doing here so much time in this site. They said that the money i earn here is only a cents while the money spend on the electric bills, the internet connection provider, and the effort and time that i spend is much much bigger than the earnings. They think i am stupid. Am i???

I mentioned it to my daughter but she has 2 jobs so I know she wouldn't have time to come here and post. She's not really into that anyways. I haven't told anyone else. Like yours, they would tell me to get a real job. I just want to make a little extra here and there. I don't want to get rich - well I would but not on here

My friends and family do not know that I am on mylot. It is not because I am afraid they will laugh at me. They know I do things on the internet to make a few extra dollars a month. I just like having a place like mylot where I can go and talk about things that I dont want to talk about with my family and friends. It is nice.
