Trying to give advice while my sitch deteriorates so take it with a grain of salt, pot calling the kettle black, etc.

This looks to me like an opportunity to define a boundary. I’m not good at those, so others should jump in and help out. But I think it would be something along the lines of, “H, when you call my work a hobby, I feel hurt. It does bring in some money, which helps our family. In the future I’d like for you to call it what I call it: work. If you can’t do that, I understand, but I will also have to ask you to leave the house.”

Maybe?

Edit: either that, or don’t take the bait and leave the room. He does seem like he’s baiting you.
