Do your parents know about your gambling habit ?

[slapper]

Most of the grown up people do not live with parents. At such, the parents are not aware about the interests and habits of individuals. Do you parents know that you gamble ? What was their first reaction towards your gambling habit ?

I'm an adult, so I don't need to tell my parents that I'm gambling.
However, looking at it another way, I would really like my son to tell me if he starts playing too. Currently, only my wife knows that I play, because I do it very rarely and I still manage to "hide" it from my son.

The problem with young people is that many of them dream of getting rich quickly and effortlessly, and when they are prematurely introduced to gambling they end up seeing them as the perfect "opportunity" to achieve that goal, but these dreams and hopes are deceiving at the time. of the game, overestimating the real chances of victory.

It is very important that parents maintain dialogue with their children, so that children feel safe talking to their parents when they discover gambling, as this can happen through friends too.

You have the right to make your own decisions since you are an adult. But let's be real here: if you want your son to be open with you about his activities, you've got to lead by example. The key is transparency! He might hide it if you do. And that's not what we want, do we?

Oh yes, young folks are always seeking for a shortcut to success. Quick money, quick fame, quick everything! Gambling, though? In other words, it's a complicated beast. Although the appeal of being wealthy quickly can be seductive, the chances aren't always in your favor. And because of their impressionable nature, youthful brains are susceptible to the flash and glamour of the gaming industry

Open dialogue? absolutely necessary. Children and their parents should converse all the time. It offers the best protection from gambling traps. They need to be aware that they can contact you if they learn about it from friends. So, act like the parent your son would confide in. Be present and, most essential, be open-minded and truthful

I'm an adult and telling my parents that I gamble doesn't seem appropriate because that will only allow them to create a path interfering in my business. We're independent and ought to make decision by ourselves and not some kind of kid that take orders and instructions from my parents, don't get me wrong, I do take advises from them, most appropriately the ones that deals with my daily lives and not the ones that indulged in the activities I anticipate in just to pay my bills. Facts, gambling is not what we should depend in as source of income, rather we gamble at out free time.

Ohh obviously yes as single person, my mum and father died my gambling habits. I am mainly into sports betting. First time I talked about it to my mother, she was very worried cause I was too young and she thought I could be addicted to it. Anyways I didn't follow addict patterns. I mainly played for fun when I was young and spent money if I win. So she is more relaxed now. She also likes physical casinos herself and love to visit around. As far as I observe we are similar, she also directly spends money if she hits a good win. I think parents and wives/husbands should be aware...

Most children respect and fear their parents, you could say that out of 100 children there are 1 or two who have no respect for their parents, Even though gambling is considered by some people to be good luck and make money, most parents think that gambling is a bad activity and act, even if they gamble themselves.

So there are two things here that can be said, [1]. Some children are involved in gambling their parents know, [2]. Others don't know, but me personally my parents never know and it won't happen.

For this reason, whatever we do, we must never disappoint our parents, because they always want to see us better and more successful than us, even though they themselves have not achieved success.

Even though I don't live with my parents they are aware of it, since I've been gambling even when I was a teenager, and I am also open with my father about it, and there are times that I would tell him how I gamble back then.

Even though I don't live with my parents they are aware of it, since I've been gambling even when I was a teenager, and I am also open with my father about it, and there are times that I would tell him how I gamble back then.

Your parents are liberal-minded, it's hard for parents to accept that their children are gambling and they are very open because they know the risks associated with gambling, even if they told their parents that they are responsible gamblers, the parents will still worry, I am a parent and I don't want my children to be too involved in gambling especially if they have a family.
If you come to raise your family you should minimize or limit your openness to your parent, they will be worried if your wife quarrels with you because of gambling so for them to stop worrying it's better to limit your openness.

[Blitzboy]

I think this question is best for people underage that are still living with their parents, I don't get why anyone should involve their parents in their gambling activities, if you are a grown man why would you do such? Even youths that are still going to school and are been feed by their parents still keeps their gambling activities a secret from their patents, to me it makes no sense to do this.

If you are been feed by someone and you go and tell them about your gambling activities they will start having a second thought about you, the way old people reasons is different from the way we reason today, they can detect dangers from afar, and you telling them will give them doubts that you are not serious with your education.

I know that some parent and child relationship are so strong that whatever is going on won't be a secret but this is one home out of thousands, maybe if the parents are rich it will be easier for them to over look gambling activities of their child, but if your parents are struggling to send you to school you have added more pain to their struggle by telling them that you are gambling, they will never be happy with your decision.

Why on Earth would an adult, standing on their own two feet, bring their parents into their gambling world? If someone is old enough to make decisions, they should be wise enough to understand consequences. Involving parents, especially if theres a dependence on them, is playing with fire. Old folks have their own wisdom, seeing perils that younger minds might miss. Think about it; wont telling them you're gambling while they're breaking their backs for your education just add salt to their wounds?

Look, I get that there are close-knit families out there where secrets just dont exist. But, and lets be real here, thats rare. Its a luxury few have. If you're in a family that's struggling, throwing in gambling into the mix is like poking a sleeping lion. Its not just about money; its about trust, priorities, and life choices. Ignoring this reality is nothing but self-deception.

It's really good if your parents allow you to gamble because not every people are have such "privilege", most of people will try to gamble secretly and lying to their parents. It's bad because you broke the rule from your parents, but gambling isn't bad as long as you know how to control yourself.

Those people who can control gambling habit in limit can make other good decisions in life as well and do good financially in their life. It is obvious that their parents will be happy with them.

[KTChampions]

A strange question (if we are talking about gambling as simple entertainment and not as an addiction that causes some problems), my parents probably don’t care how I have fun (I can decide for myself) but rather how my family and I are doing with our health/at work/in school, etc. My parents were never into gambling, so this topic is not common to us and we do not discuss it.

The gambling world is totally for the adult people,but many people forget the important thing.The children was playing the game without knowledge of the gambling parents.So we can’t include the parents because for the kids involvement into the gambling.The today kids will become the parent one day,So they know their activities in their childhood.The adult had their full mind to take their decision in the gambling and in their life.The adult earning the money based on their work and involvement,So we can’t ask the adult to share their gambling involvement to share parents.It’s not the logical one to ask the gambler to share their parents.

I basically believes that the age of the person involved in the gambling will matters the most. You do not expect a grown man who is able to manage his own family hiding his gambling habits from his parent, he is matured enough and knows what is right and wrong, perhaps we can't say gambling is a crime so why hide it from them.
But for the younger kids who pertakes in gambling of course there is every need to defend their gambling habits from there parents because they know it is illegal for there age.

You are right most parents although they are always open and mature thinking but they will worry about their children if they know their children are gambling, I think every parent will prohibit their children from playing gambling even if they are also a gambler.

I have the same thought as you friend that don't be too open to your parents because it can result in making them worry, even if you have good self-control in gambling and have responsibility they will still worry about you, even if they don't say it to you directly. Even some parents who know their children play gambling, they immediately scold them and do not let their children hold money because they are afraid to let their children play gambling which can be fatal to their future, I also just remembered that some of my friends were kicked out by their parents because their children liked to play gambling to sell what their parents had bought for gambling.

They are going to be surprised when they find out you have a money problem and all because you are gambling. If it's in your personality you don't gamble yet you did while you are now living on your own. Your parents would feel deceived.

When your parents kicked you out of the house for this reason, she wouldn't be surprised if the kid suddenly called them from the police station asking them to bail them out. And they may be happy to make you realize mistakes.

As a grown man, they don't. Or she doesn't to be specific as my dad has already past away. I think my dad had some idea as he was constantly gambling on horses and weekly lottery. I don't think he ever even won anything big. But i didn't tell him about anything, even when i had some trouble with gambling.

To my mom i haven't ever told, not as a young kid or as an old man. It's not really her business. Although i am suspecting she suspected something when i was late on several rents. But she never even asked. I think she thought i drank them or something. And it's not like i had always problem with money. I was winning few big times as well.

I guess if i had more closer connection with my parents i could have told them.

Gambling is all about luck, and we don't know the outcome. Parents never want their child to follow something that've got more negative impact than positive things. Every gambler hope for the best to happen, but things won't be the best all the time. Parents will surely find this to be bad, and for that reason most of the gamblers keep their gambling activity hidden from parents.

Whatever the type of gambling, even if it is based on analysis and skills such as sports betting, it will still ultimately refer to luck. So we have to be more careful when we want to gamble, because of course the risks that are there are very large and for anyone who does not apply restrictions to their gambling at all then as we know large defeats will always dominate them. Of course, no matter what their parents are and no matter how bad their background is, they still want the best for their children, one of which is gambling, in general we already know that gambling is very negative in the eyes of society and even though maybe the parents are one of the gamblers but I am sure they will not allow it if their children want to join gambling, after all this is an activity that has a huge risk.

So the point is that parents will always want the best for their children, if the environment around them is actively gambling then they will try to keep their children away from that environment by giving them an understanding that gambling is very bad and they should not be carried away by the wrong flow.

Underage kids who are into betting already are the ones trying as much as possible to hide it from their parents. Because it is irresponsible already for someone to gamble but is actually financially dependent on their parents. I also tried this before but only because I saved my allowance so I have small amounts to spare for gambling. However, it was still a mistake since I was then underage and I am still dependent on my parents.

Another possible situation where people need to hide their gambling activities is those people who have no regular earnings or very small earnings but are into gambling. Because it'll shame them the moment their husbands or wives, parents, or any family members discover it.

Parents want their children to be able to avoid things that have a negative impact. Unfortunately, many young people cannot differentiate between things that can have a negative and positive impact because they follow what their friends do. These are the ones who will ultimately become children whose parents don't pay enough attention because their parents are busy with their business. Often, parents don't know that their children are gambling until they develop a gambling addiction. Parents will feel sad if they find out and will help as hard as they can to cure their children's gambling addiction.

[Jawhead999]

Yes it's, even you hide it sooner or later they will know if you're a gambler. It's not only about parents, but your close friends, your wife or husband etc which have an often contact with you.

Another possible situation where people need to hide their gambling activities is those people who have no regular earnings or very small earnings but are into gambling. Because it'll shame them the moment their husbands or wives, parents, or any family members discover it.

I think it's not shame, but it's stupid lol since he don't understand the purpose of gambling and such person will bankrupt sooner or later. It's really a red flag when someone is lack of money and still want to gamble, it's really a toxic for financial.
