📝 AMITA for being annoyed at my fiancé’s family for them not coming to my workout classes?

I moved across the country to the same city my fiance's family lives. The city is very small and we all live within a 1-2 mile radius from another. Recently, I got a second job instructing workout classes 4-5 times a week for some extra money: one gym being right in the city we live in & the other about 15 min away.

My fiancé's brother's gf is a Pilates instructor in town & has been for over a year. l've gone to her classes before, but they're expensive so l only go every once in awhile. In the past she has been very persistent about family/friends coming to her classes, but I always felt weird about it bc I feel like I'm begging friends/family to spend money on my classes so l can profit from them - although I do still say "yeah please come to one of my classes" etc. His mother goes to her classes religiously/on a regular basis. Anywhere from 2-4 times every week. When his extended family is in town, they all go to her classes. All my bridesmaids are going to her class for my bachelorette.

Here's where I need advice: Im upset because they don't show me the same support as they do her. his mom came to my first free trial class & that's it. The gf has only ever mentioned coming to my first class to support me, but couldn't make it. Other than that, nobody from his family has come to one of my classes. I'm not trying to make this a competition and I'm not trying to "copy" the gf - I just needed a side hustle that would work with my full time schedule. But I'm hurt that I clearly don't get the same support. They view my stories with my work out schedules. They're available at least some of the dates/times I teach. Am I being an entitled asshole for just expecting them to support me/come to my classes every once in awhile? Do I start asking them point blank to come and support?
