Interesting discussion -- especially bc I am about in this phase right now given my current situation. Yes, the bottom line is the $$$ though. As my friend said "you have to show them the money... that's the only way they'll understand"
I'll update as things change

I started playing NLHE tournaments with my friends and relatives around December 2005. I started online tournaments in January 2006 and Ring games in March of 2007.
My Inlaws were great about it. I got my Mother-in-law playing for money online (Topaz3). My Mom was worried because she stresses about me gambling away my home and family (for those who don't know I am the poster child for "know your limit, play within it") When she saw that I had turned 50 into 500 playing for pennies she laid off. I have since given her basic lessons (her sitting with me while I play 25 max), so she could come play in my home game. I don't mention it much around my friends that don't play, basically because they don't care, but I have shown myself to be responsible enough that no one really worries about me.
