Does becoming a parent changes the gambler?

[JL421]

That differs from person to person what is better is to quit gambling after you are a parent because you have more responsibilities towards your family when you are alone even if you lose your funds you are the one who get's affected but now everyone is getting affected
He can't still gamble occasionally but on regular basis it is risky

This was the discussion topic we were having last night, a bunch of gambling friends and one of them an expecting dad. There were counter arguments that his child also would turn out a gambler like he is.

The arguments were that it is his in his gene and that'll pass on to his child, since every one in his family was a gambler.

The counter argument was that the child would make a logical decision and genes won't play any part in this.

Which brought us to another important question what if turns out a gambler would they both play together. Would he be comfortable?

Amid this he walked out and texted me he didn't wish to gamble anymore, so wanted your views on this.

Gambling does not come in your genes or anything like that, however kids have a tendency to imitate what they see in their parents, if a parent drinks or smokes the possibilities the child does the same in the future go higher so if your friend keeps gambling until his kid grows then it is likely his kid will become a gambler as well, so it could be a good idea that your friend quits gambling in the future or at least diminishes the amount of times he gambles.

Unfortunately, gambling is a disease that needs help and support to be overcome.
But it is not absolutely genetic, while a person can be influenced if he sees other people playing.

I think that in this situation genes do not play any role, it's all about upbringing. If the future father refuses gambling and will not show his child such an example, it is unlikely that the child will gamble only because his relatives are avid gamblers. If the child becomes a gambler, the reason for this will be the social environment in which he lives, rather than the genetic characteristics of his organism.

If he does become a gambler, he will hardly want to do it with his father. After all, both will understand that this dependence is not very good. I think they both will be uncomfortable and the situation will be awkward.

yes, I think when someone becomes a parent, they will have more responsibilities to their family and they need to protect their family and they need to reduce their bad habit so their kids are not trying to do the same thing like them. maybe they could still play gamble but they need to play with a secret so their kids don't know about the gambling.

becoming a gambler changes the parent is totally no because if you really a gambling person do not tell to your child or do not let your child know that you as a parent is gambling and you must discipline your child and let your child learn some good attitudes and let your child to become a discipline and a grow as a good person.

Genes has nothing to do with gambling. My family are really fond of gambling, but I am not. Maybe some may think that gambling addiction is in their blood line because most of their family members are enjoying gambling.

And I think that also depends on their living conditions, of course., the flows of life or as time goes by with the various situations that exist will also carrying or directing it where the way must be taken, and that also might be can avoiding gambling although their parents like gambling.

Ever heard the term the fallen fruit never fell far from the tree? The point is, a child will tend to have properties like his parents, dude.
But I never believe it, well if you do gambling and in witnessed by your own child I think it could happen your child becomes a gambler also in the end.
Depending on the way he educates his child, this is an advanced era and his son can learn to gamble by surfing the search engines even though his father stopped to gamble.

[blockman]

Not really. I have a cousin that does not have a job and even after having 4 kids, it does not still make him think that he needs to change and stop on what he's doing.

There are gamblers that can't give up their own hobby just because they became a parent. Even here in my place I've got some relatives who are not stopping in gambling even they have a bunch of kids to feed and to take care off. It all depends, they can still gamble but they have to be responsible and provide all the things that their kid/s needed.

I think if the first time that you had your kid there going to stop your hobby for a while but once you are back and probably your child is already capable of being independent it would come back. I agree with your statement that you can be still responsible as long as you are giving the kids what they really need especially in order to have their education.

You can stop for awhile so that you can focus taking care of your kid. If you're a hands on dad or mom then you have to sacrifice gambling for it. I think this isn't really an issue for those people that are starting to have kids. What matters is on how you are going to take care of that kid while it is growing. Are you going to allow him to know gambling and be like his dad/mom?

If God has blessed someone with such a gift as child, he must pay attention towards it. Parents are responsible for all the basic needs of a kid. That baby should be the top priority. But if someone still does not give up gambling, it is fine as far as he is taking care of his child. For such people, I have just one thing to say, they need to look around and see real beauties of life. Gambling cannot give as much fun or relief as a kid’s smile can.

It's fine if that father can't give up gambling. As long as he's doing his duty as a father and he's responsible on what he has. Gambling can give temporary fun and as well as source of money to those who are really in situation that he needs quick money. There are people who are earning that much, good experience, happiness and they are satisfied. We are not just the same on what we like and what we really need.

Genes have nothing to do with gambling or addiction. It is all related to the psychological nature of the human being. There are many sons who are not like their fathers. Their fathers are addicted to smoking, their sons do not smoke at all. It is their own will and choice whether or not to follow their fathers' path. And if his dad does not want him to fall into gambling addiction, then he should raise him in the right way and teach him the bad effects of gambling, and eventually, it will be his decision.

Bbut being a father will certainly make a few changes. this is a small example of my surroundings. my friend is a liquor addict and also a gambler addicts but when he is married and has children. his life is 360 degrees different you know ? no liquor and gambling anymore. of course that changed him for the better is to be a dad right? there may be a self-awareness to teach their child better.

What your friend have done is very right thing because before marriage he was single and their were no responsibility but after marriage and getting child make more responsible to knowing this leaving all bad habits is a good thing. I was also before marriage leaving freely without any burden but when i got married i just stopped drinking and gambling. Now only for fun some time play gambling just to kill time.

Responsibility is something that can make your life if you want to change yourself. People who become aware of their responsibilities never face disappointments in their lives however, the people around them respect them much more than other people and think about them that it was much good form to become like him.  And there is no bigger responsibility in your life than the kids you get after the marriage.

Just a update my friend returned back to playing with us, it turned out his wife and he decided that he could gamble but with new rules in place. From what he told us they have made a couple pact wherein he's not allowed to gamble beyond a certain limit and only on occasional days. Each one of views are much appreciated I guess we'll won when he came back and we'll know how to deal with kids as and when the time comes.

I agree that it is better to quit gambling when you are already a parent.Because being a parent is not that easy i need to provide all the needs of my baby, i need some saving for unexpected situations like for hospital bills,medicine etc. So as a parent i really dont have the right to use my money for nonsense because gambling is not a safe and sure source of income, it is just timing if its your day or not. Your only option here is either win or lose.

But unfortunately some ordinary people that has no permanent source of income are the one that is more addicted in gambling they dont care even their only money is limited.

Other factors will come to play as well, such as the financial situation of the family.

Normally, a son of a gambler would feel resentment for their father’s actions, and would choose to refrain from gambling all their life with the thought that gambling has ruined their life. This would of course be different if he had a different outlook toward’s his father’s gambling, such as if it was their way of bonding or it has improved their life for the better. It all comes down to how the son will deal with it, and react to it after.

Yes some changes gambler becoming  parent because they think about their kids future. They think how to give them a future But some parents only think of their selves. All they know is to do What they think for their own goodness.

[automail]

First of all, a text message saying that he won't gamble anymore doesn't mean anything if he didn't do what he says. Gambling addiction is so hard to control but an unborn child can give the gambler a sense of responsibility. Every parent wants their child to have a comfortable life. Gambling can be a hindrance on achieving your goal because we all know that gamblers bet everything they have and go home with empty pocket.

When one kid sees his parent gambling and losing money, and then screaming out with a lot of worries and sadness, coming out of the casinos with much pain and pale face coming home, how will he interpret his parent? Do he still think that I will be doing the same or not? So here are two aspects. One, he may start hating the game as it has ruined his father, secondly, he will be getting motivation.

[Kevin77]

A parent knows his/her responsibility on his/her family and therefore, I believe that many people who become father/mother will stop gambling. Raise their family is the number one aim. Do you want your child be affected by our bad hobby ?

I feel at the end, it just depends on the individual and how they perceive parenting. I have seen some who after becoming a parent, just still prefer living the kind of crazy life they have always lived as youth and they always end up regretting it which sometimes could have become too late. I see a parent who does not put the child first in everything as a grossly irresponsible one, so I believe someone in his or her normal sense should be able to cut off somethings once they become parents.

This is the one of the strongest reason here the parent if addictive to gambling can also quit the gambling if they understand the value and importance of the addition to their family members and also means the expenses will be rising. SO nobody would like to waste the money on gambling where you tend to lose more than winning.

Genes has nothing to do with gambling. My family are really fond of gambling, but I am not. Maybe some may think that gambling addiction is in their blood line because most of their family members are enjoying gambling.

This kind of fatalistic way of thinking is a big mistake the fact that all your family does something does not mean that you need to follow the same path and this applies not only in the negative but not on the positive as well, I knew a family in which everyone was a doctor and they were trying to push their kid to be a doctor as well but he didn't wanted to do it because he did not like it and wanted to be something else, so you must remember that we are completely free to choose our own fate.
