because in some cases the lifestyle has negative connotations. At one point in time i had a chance to do music stuff more seriously and even have s aong on Music Channel Charts, when my folks found out it was a straight no you cant do it. majority of it had to be due to my sister's inlaws who are a very conservatiev family and it could create issues for her. it was tough and I walked away, its a big regret of mine, not that I wanted to do something professionally fulltime anyways, but then if it had any chance of creating a mess for my sis, then I suppose I made a wiser choice. Her dignity and respect is worth more than my hobby.
Seriously?
