Gambling with your Parents

[bitcoin31]

Me and my family play tongits sometimes and Bingo when they want.  We are playing gambling togther we are betring small amount of money because when we are playing gambling we are relaxing only when we have a lot of freetime and also for our bonding.

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?

The ending of your story is very sad, because of addiction, for a while you family play gambling for happiness then everything was good, but when gambling become a source of addiction then gambling destroy your life and also happiness. It is a lesson for us, play gambling only for fun and don't cross our line of addiction, otherwise the result of fun will be opposite.

We have a saying that the family that prays together stays together this is very much true, but you cannot apply it in gambling, you cannot preach responsibility among your children if you let your children gamble with you.
You are contributing to your child's bad character that could harm him in the future.

I used to place sports parlays with my brother and father when I was younger and we had a great time competing with each other if we are going to win or not. I remember I once won a 21 matches long parlay and won $200 with like a $.50 bet. I had a blast that day.  When it is for fun gambling can be very entertaining indeed!

Firstly, putting all the blames on your Dad for been addiction was the main reason all the family separated and with what I have experienced so far, the best to correction an addiction person not blaming the person but forgive him while you both work on how to control the buzz which leads to his addiction. However, it never a good decision for all the family to gamble at the same spot.

I don't gamble with my parents but I do play games with my dad when I was with him.  Some time playing games with your father do makes you guys to have some private discussions.  However gambling with them is not something I think are good because since loses and winning is involved it might lead to disaffection between you are your dad.

We are a total 4 in the family and completes a set to play card games. We don't do it everytime but once in a year on the festive season, we bet on cards games with our money. Though win or loss, the money ends up buying food stuffs to eat which would be consumed by all.

My parents were never big gamblers.  The most my dad ever bet was probably $100 or so.  We did play a lot of cards growing up but it was only for fun and nothing was ever on the line.

I think your gambling passion has a lot to do with how you were raised, your mind gets really accustomed to habits as a child.

I believed the reason why your parent are never a big gamblers was because they understand the concept of gambling, they see gambling as a ways of buying themselves some fun during their free time and like you said gambling passion has alot to do with people addiction but it wont be a nice idea if you do the same thing with your family.

Teaching your kids with gambling since they are young is the worst thing a parent could do because when they grow up they will want to repeat the same thing but now the difference is they will play with real money which they have worked hard for. Of course no ones says gambling should be completely avoided from kids, as long as it is just playing a simple game once a month of so but teaching your kids to gamble everytime you play games with them is just a stupid thing to do.

That's good, and it is a way to spend some good time with family members. In my family we never used to play anything placing bets, I used to gamble and my mother knows it. When I was unlucky and loss big I used to say it to mom, she used to sclod a lot, and hearing it I'll quit for few days and once again used to go gamble.

I'd never be able to gamble with my parents either; they've always been against gambling and the investment I've been making into crypto, and every time I see them again they tell me to stop. Pretty sure this is because of negative experiences my father's had in the past with casinos, but I really don't know where this all stems from. I've personally never had an issue with gambling though, fine in my eyes as long as you're not putting in money you can't afford to lose.

My father loves cockfighting game and i have also my own gambling activities but we also see to it that addiction won't ruin our family. We just bet what we can afford to lose and when we lose our bets, we just go home and just enjoy bonding with the rest of the family. I think gambling is not that bad as long as we are not making it as our own priority but only as for fun and entertainment.

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

I think gambling with family is the most pleasant thing in life, not by profit that you want, even defeat is not a problem for us. the most important thing is togetherness and jokes that you all have do, or even gambling without money, can use other items too

This is too risky, you are teaching your children to take up a vice, and it's such a bad idea, we, parents, are teaching our children to only cultivate good deeds and stay away from all forms of vice, because it can harm him when he grows up, this vice can lead to another vice and your children will blame you for this, when he gets into trouble.

Right now, my mom always plays Mahjong, and she is taking it as a luxury time to spend time with our relatives. It's fun and just enjoying small things. I know that their bets are not that big, but it's still fun if you get to hit the jackpot and take everything. I did ask my parents to teach me how to play it but they didn't get to, especially when they are always busy. Instead of that, I just tried gambling with them in a land-based casino, and not betting a lot which is good. It's better to be controlled, not too much.

It is always fun when you gamble together and if parents do support you or for fun and entertainment they go with you it could be a real good idea as you would definitely be in your discipline and it would be meant that you enjoy the game as it is meant to be.

You are a free bird because most of the parents will not encourage us to gamble with them, even i tried many times to gamble with my parents but they asked me to go away when they are gambling. They will not invest huge amounts into gambling but still, they won't encourage me to gamble with them.

It wasn't wrong to do that. It was very familiar to me as we had the same country. It was a tradition in our country and we are just doing it for fun and to entertain the visitors who tend to symphatize with the bereaved family. Some may find it weird but this is historical convention that is still happening until now in our country.

[xvids]

Yes I gamble and play with my parents it is one of our family time.
We usually play cards when we gamble but sometimes we bet with other stuff like who would do the chores who would clean the house.

[Capt00]

I feel the situation of the OP because my father was a gambler of playing cards too and that's they called "tong its". He usually gambles at the weekend together with me but I'm not going to play just only to observe him. Since start, I know that my dad having a limitation of money he gamble if he has loses that certain amount we walk away and come back into another day. I think parents know what they are doing and they don't let their child involve into addiction.
