I run a modestly successful small gardening business. It took me a year to really get it going properly. For context im in my 30s and have worked in really demanding jobs to get into a position to start something.

Ever since I went full-time my sibling has had this attitude like I just won the lottery and wont share. Other people have also started acting like im driving around in a RollsRoyce with a monocle, I don’t really get it.

I give my sibling left over gardening supplies and i’ve sub contracted another friend who lost their job. Trying to share my success when I can. Whats with the hostility? Have other people experienced this kind of thing?

    I have a seasonal garden business as well. No one understands how it works, especially if you live in a high income tax state. My family acts like this too at times, but mostly it’s about expecting me to always take days off. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve heard "but you’re the boss! You can take whatever day you want off"🙄🙄. The other comment I get frequently is people thinking my rate=take home pay…I wish lol
