Gambling with your Parents

[goaldigger]

Gambling with your parents might be the unusual bonding of the family but I was able to experience this one before.

In my place, you can gamble on the wake which is normal and a form of sympathy. I was young that time and my dad was playing on the other table called "Mahjong", my Mom was playing "Bingo", and I'm playing card game (Tong-its) that time and it looks like my whole family are playing and aiming to win some money

When I grew up, gambling becomes our source of happiness but suddenly becomes our worst enemy because honestly my parents got separated because of gambling and until now they blame the addiction of my dad. I'm old enough now to realize that was a biggest mistake of my family, to let that addiction ruin our family. I promise to myself not to be like my dad, I will not expose my kids into gambling.

Will you do the same mistakes of my family or you will keep your kids or even yourself away from gambling?

No parents want their child involve on any gambling games because they know how it greatly affects their child most especially if a money is involved. Those you said  playing in a wake with your parents is just ok because traditionally, it is always done because they prolong people being awake with the help of gambling. But after that, as what your parents experience, it doesnt provide positive things in life.

everything is get success if you are doing it with the limitation otherwise if you do a lots of concentration only on single thing will always going to end with the bad result and I think it will same for everyone so we need to be careful what you are doing.

It is  somewhat contradictory for your post and signature to sit side by side lol.
It is a pity the gambling addiction  ruined your family. This should probably be blamed on addiction and the type of gambling and not mere gambling. Not every gambler is an addict

When both persons are gamling too often then chances of being separated in short time is high becauseboth will same mentality so it doesn't fit into alpha and beta.

And I don't think gambling with them is good idea so I never did that.

Gambling for me doesn't give any benefits or even in my relatives so I don't like my family or even my future family gamble or even do gambling as a hobby or a leisure time.

What happened to your family is a big mistake but I'm think we both from the same country.

pretty sure OP is a filipino.

i have an aunt that has gambling addiction, she use to go to casino and have even gone far to pampangga just so she can gamble there. her sons grew and have gone college so she eventually stopped going to casinos but she plays with me and all other niece right in their backyard til her sons learned all these card games. and i guess the sons been playing in casinos eventually.  not a really good idea to teach kids to gamble, they soon aim for easy money and end up going to casinos.

Those few obsessive gamblers give everyone a bad name.  Similarly some people can handle their drugs and alcohol but then you have those crazy addicts that make the activity look terrible.  Never bet more than your willing to lose, you should go in with the attitude that you may very well lose everything you are betting.

That's fascinating, and I mean that.  In the states, wakes are usually morbid affairs with lots of crying and no celebrating of life, which is what the living ought to be doing as well as mourning the deceased.  Might I inquire as to what country you are from?

pretty sure OP is a filipino.

Could be.  I assumed he's from somewhere in Asia, where gambling is much more acceptable than it is in the West.

I never gambled with any family member, but I don't see anything morally despicable about it as long as the family isn't addicted gamblers.  Were that the case, it could well be like a trailer trash family that smokes crack together and doesn't ever pay their bills.  Gambling can be fun and most people don't get hooked on it, just like most people do not get hooked on alcohol.  A lot do, but most do not.

When I was just under the legal drinking age, I ended up at a bar with my father where we were watching a band and we ended up drinking together.  At the time I felt very weird, almost guilty.  So I can understand why some posters are expressing similar thoughts about gambling with parents.  Looking back at my experience, however it was a bonding moment with my dad and nothing more.

Playing gambling if have wake is that traditional in the country where i reside, I get you what do want to deliver this your thoughts i remember also when i was child my family and I play at home card games is called pusoy dos but no money involve because they doing that for family bonding, the bet is if who gonna lose in the game have a dare. Not good to seen have money involve if the purpose of playing is for family bonding because possible get misunderstanding.

Never had a chance of doing such thing because my parents are very religious so they know not to gamble,but me and my elder brother use to play together its like we are a.tandem when it comes to gambling.from online game betting to sportsbetting and even in casino's, there is no much fun without us playing together. But when we got married things has changed and now we're playing together in online casino's but once in a blue moon because we are busy with our own family

[eann014]

Dont have nerves to gamble with parents, leave to gamble with parents i dont even have nerve to gamble infront of parents. In my society gambling is regarded as evil and those who preaches or make money with it as regarded as low.
Previously i had a bad habbit of gambling but now it seems to be little numb now as it has been 4 months since i have gambled a major money

Gambling is really not that bad, it's just that there are some people who get addicted to it then sometimes forget the meaning of what is gambling really all about. People gambling because of fun because gambling has to be played or sometimes just to bet only but you need to watch it because of the result but the main reason, we play because we want some entertainment and also to get the prize as well in the end of the game but we all know that we can't win at the 1st place. Playing with parents is actually fun. But it is slso depend of a parent on how they handle their son or daughter or if they think they are already at the right age for them to play gambling.

This is the first time I read about gambling with the family. It can be like "Family gambles together lose together. This is very rare in case because family figure is for good bonding only though not all just like this one.

Probably it is more like a conflict when betting together with the family for everyone has their choice and since everyone is so close it might lead to a fight. This is a very usual inside the house where siblings fight because of the differences among them.

This is why I do not think that it would be enjoyable to gamble together with the family.

[Reatim]

Too much of everything is is always bad, yes it OK to play gambling games with my kids but it will only end at the level of cashing fun and will.not let it get in the way of my personal responsibilities to my family. Extreme gambling habit is very bad.

That must be the attitude of every parents because gambling is really a not so good for the children's and i also believe that  what the kids see from their parents even if this is bad comes good for them so if you dont want your children to become a gambler then show them that you are not also a gambler.remember that we are the reflection of our childrens so be aware of those.. Maybe OP and his family are Gambling oriented people and its a common thing for them to play gambling from parent's to children's so we can't blame.them for doing such habits.i hope this will.never happen to.my family though i quite sure as my wife know nothing about gambling

[bering]

I personally never did that even my parents are more likely hated my habit and if they know i gamble regularly they will advice me to stopped it but on my country there is one kind of game called traditional cards and we usually playing against people for 2 people or more and i was so often to see my friends were playing this game with their parents and i think this is fine as long our parents allowing us to play so nothing bad with that

[bitcoindusts]

I think there is a specification on this. Gambling with family will be best in bowling and there is this what they call “peria” in my place where different kinds of classic gambling like dice, tossing coins, darting and a lot more can be found every time festivals are approaching and not serious gambling like casinos and other card games which involve big amount of money and of course parents must play responsively and will be keeping an eye on the children’s direction too.

[Pamadar]

It's stupidity if you will allow same thing to happen with your family, knowing the possible outcome will allow you not to suffer with the same fate like yours, family and is very important to me, i will never exposed my kids with gambling even I'm doing it to find some enjoyment, but not with my kids never will happen.

[Oceat]

If it's for fun only then this is not an unusual thing to experience at least you do experience the bonding of a family or even gambling with friends. It is unusual if a family would gamble seriously with their own blood continuously but if it is really for fun then it is a nice thing to happen.

I'm pretty sure it's Philippines, gamble on the wake is like traditional of Filipino even kids can play "lucky 9" or "unggoy-unggoyan", and if you play a gamble on wake you need to "tong" (I don't know what the English words for this) it's like if you keep winning you need to give little money to the relative of death.

Actually gambling with parents is not bad idea as long as the main purpose is to have some fun together. The mistake that happened in your family is the addiction, actually you have the right to control your father if you know that he is doing more than what he should do. Sorry to hear about your story of your parents got separated because of the addiction although actually it should not happen as your family should have better ways to solve the problem instead of decided to break the relationship.
To be honest, my father was a gambler as well and I knew gambling from him but I do not want the same thing happen to my kids. They may learn by themselves but I wont show to them that I'm a gambler.

This is funny though. How can you convince your kids that you are not a gambler by any means? Are you going to physical casino nowadays or just sticking to online casinos? It is easy to hide that you are a gambler via online casinos but going to actual casino, I bet it is hard to keep it as a secret. 

Gambling with parents is fun if you are doing that for entertainment purposes only but if the situation extends more than that, then, I would say the ending would be really bad and sad..

We use to play rummy card game with family lot of time but their is no money involved it is just a fun game, so till now their was no problem with it. so i think until you are playing for fun their wont be problem, when the money is involved in it the real problem starts it. In the starting it will be fun but when some one lost lot of money then automatically it will become serious. So their should not be any money involved when playing with family
