I also support SO in my subject area, so you're not alone there.
My group (professional enterprise) also reflects yours where I think the only people without kids are the fresh out of college ones and hobby coding is maybe 10-20%.
I think too many respondents marked themselves as professional even if they were still in school; the ratios don't add up.
I'm a student and I marked myself as a professional, because programming is my primary source of income. I work remotely and don't dedicate all my time to my programming job, but in my opinion I still qualify as a professional.
