Gambling with your Parents

[rachman mahesa]

In my country, gambling is a normal thing, but for some people it is not good. For me, gambling is a fun thing. Because I started gambling since I was in school. And I never gambled with my parents. If anyone in my family is playing gambling, of course I will be angry. But if I gamble, of course I'm normal. Because gambling in my opinion can benefit. And that's really a fun thing.

I dont think gambling with parents is a good idea, it will set a bad example for the children especially if the children don't get the correct mindset, and if you want to have fun together its better to play game rather than gambling, and gambling among family member could make the relationship become tense when someone lose too much, so I think gambling is not a family activity

Agreed, that's why the end of their family relationship was very sad, because of gambling. I also don't like to play gambling with my children, because of many bad reasons. I think it is good if we play gambling with our friends only, instead play with dad or mom, that is not good.

Playing gambling with friends does not differ with playing gambling with your family but playing a gambling is not a bad activity to do as long as you dont do inapropriate things such as drinking alcoholic drinks or smoking a cigerate while playing because this can influence other inoscent people   . its not also bad if your aim or goal of playing a gambling is only for fun because there is no point of placing a real cash as bets when your only playing to the one that you love or to the one that you know the most .

Well, I think no one parents make their children ruin lives because of letting them gamble or teaching them to become a gambler because in their eyes that is a bad habit especially when it comes financial support that they don't have. Indeed, that is not must be tolerated to let your children doing gambling. Parents are always concerned with the future of their children and it must be.

I would say it's on a case to case basis, you believe that gambling is bad so you are judging it already.
There are parents who are successful in gambling and I would understand if they will train their kids at a young age to be successful also.
Making money in gambling gives you no limit, your skills will make you rich in gambling.

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?

I think the mistake there wasn't exposing the children to gambling since it doesn't seem that you shared your father's addiction. It can be a good family past time playing betting games. The problem would in the individual, in your case, your dad. Considering he has a family, he should've been a little more careful in immersing himself in gambling. Instances like this can be avoided and i think there are those who can be in full control when they're involving their families.

My parents hates gambling as far as I know and honestly, once they know that I’m into gambling for sure they will mad at me. Gambling with parents is not bad if you think positively and can’t really affect the family. We must put family first than money, and do gambling without sacrificing your family.

Yeah, I am also already a parent and I have 2 kids. I dont want them to get addicted in gambling although I know it was really entertaining, but if they are already in a right age of playing then why not? I will teach them how to limit everything not only in gambling.

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.

Yeah, just like i said if it is for fun since serious gambling won't be with your family and relatives it would be with your friends who you shared the fun. Since gambling with your family is not that really an amazing thing to do if you are doing it for money. But in some countries, i think it is too common just like you said it was a tradition.

How come gamblers allow the parents to stay while they gamble. If you intercourse will take your parents with you. As like that while gambling also people will not take their parents with them.
Mostly investors may face the loss or they may win jackpot and have the plan. In these kind of times we cannot allow them to stay with us.

At least the parents need to educate your self first before introducing gamble to you. My parents say to me they not agree if doing a gamble with using money, but i still ignore him LoL, but i still try to control my emotion not using all of my money and know went to play & stop.

[Chikitita2004]

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.

Well, before it gets to being extreme it first starts with trying once here and once there, losing and winning once here and once there until you realize it makes you feel so good and you don’t wanna stop already. And alas! You are another victim of gambling addiction.

Maybe it is for educating; to some other people but gambling is not really for making money and it is merely for fun only. To some parents, i don't think they will allow their children to play gamble unless if they have a job already. And no family would let their children get addicted to gambling since they already know what could cause it in the long run unless if they were rich.

I dont want my kids to try or learn how to gamble, we all know the consequences of gambling and its not advisable to play when your kids are around they might think its alright to gamble since their parents are doing it.

Any form of physical gambling in our place are now prohibited by the authorities hence there's no way to gamble anymore unless you're willing to pay the fine for breaking the rules.

Thus I can only gamble online and making sure that my kids are not seeing me.

As much as possible I would not let them near any gambling habits. But since we live in an environment where gambling is pretty much accepted, it is kind of impossible to do. The best I can do is to train my children to practice restraint. I will train them to have control so that they will not be addicted to it.

.. snip ..

As parents, we really don't want to see our kids getting involved in gambling. But if our environment tends to lean on to gambling whether as source of income or just to bond with families or just simply to have some fun then it's hard to control what our kids will do in the future. For me, don't let our kids learn how to gamble, sooner or later when they grow up, there's a big chance that it may lead to something that they are going to regret in the future, imho.

There are different kind of parenting and some would really have that kind of bonding which they dont care if their sibling would able to experience the negative effects of gambling in the future.

Even I wont really have that mindset to let my kids do see me when i gamble.I know the consequences and i dont like for my children to experience the negative things that it can possibly give to them.
There are lots of other hobbies or activities which is more enjoyable than gambling and i would rather choose that one over gambling.

i find it normal to gamble with family members for fun and sometimes doing it specially online. but if you take it like you sunk in debts because of you gambling habit, its not normal. its going to be different if you live somewhere abundant with job offers. if you live in a fishing village, it would be different since you'd be in the middle of the ocean by night and goes home by dawn and you'd be selling your fishes by day, you might not find time to gamble.
