As my fiance is so fond of telling me when I say "I'm off to do some work!" when going to work on my programming side projects (which includes open source development with plans for future closed source commercial projects as well), she replies "Until it makes us any money, it's just a hobby. Have fun."

Ah, good times.

Ask her if she thinks that way about your marriage.

Marriage makes you money (via economies of scale and tax breaks).

She worked and paid our rent and grocery bills while I finished up my CS degree. She can call it whatever she wants. :-)
