Mother's Annoyance

My mother keeps telling me to get a job even though I am a Discord mod; I am a full time Discord moderator and right now as I am managing 10 servers at once. I enjoy my job, I enjoy interacting with different communities and it's nice that people recognize me in all the chats, Recently my mother has been nagging me to get a job even though Discord is my job. We had family and cousins over for dinner once and they were discussing their job prospects. My cousin is a firefighter and was talking about how physically exhausting it can be to climb ladders and manage the fire equipment. I also say that my job is hard and that my fingers get tired so I have to do special hand/finger stretches as I don't want to get carpal tunnel. I heard my brother smirk and I realized that none of them take what I love to do seriously, so I stormed back to my room.

A few weeks passed and I was in the middle of getting a promotion and training to become an admin when my mother opened the door and asked to speak to me. I sighed and deafened myself since I was on a call. She looked at me with sad eyes and said "Honey, your father and I are kicking you out in 2 weeks if you don't get a job", I replied telling her that once again this is my job, she then asked if I make any money from it to which I replied one of the owners bought me a month of Nitro for helping manage a Discord raid, she told me that she didn't understand what Nitro was or what a raid was. She once again told me to get a job or that's it.

I am 28 years old, this is my dream and my passion, I am in the middle of completing my training and getting my admin certificate, I don't even want to imagine what my kittens would do without me if I can't go on my pc to use Discord... This is a very dire situation.
