Do your parents know about your gambling habit ?

I'm among those who don't live with their parents, and we don't stay close to each other as well, so there is no way that they can know about my gambling habit, and aside from that, we don't talk about it. The only thing we discuss when it comes to money is how I earn and how my work is going, and gambling is not my source of income. I don't see it as something that is important for me to communicate with them.
 
And even if I tell my parents about my involvement in gambling, provided that they can see my helping hand in the family living a decent life and I don't have anyone come to my door step demanding money that I owe them as a result of getting involved in gambling or me selling my properties all the time with one excuse to the other, I will be good with them, and they won't have any negative thing to say about it. All that they will advise me is to be careful, and whatever I know won't help my life should be avoided. That's the kind of response I will get from them.

We already have: "keep gambling" in secret and "never gamble in front of kids" topics. Now about parents What next - never gamble in front of parents or does your pet know you gamble?

I will confess - I have gambled in front of my parents, they have seen I have placed a bet on a hockey game. But, we have watched that game together and I am 35+ Jokes aside, I think it is better to tell parents that you gamble, because they, as more experienced, might help and spot that moment when gambling is no longer about fun.

Well, pets has a brain too and many of them are smart, so yeah they know but the only difference is they can't do it like any other humans lol. The answer to the OP's question can depend on the age of the children. If we are already at the right age like you, our parents will mostly allow us and even if they don't, we will always find a way to play gambling.

If we are under age and our parents know it, we will usually get scolded. I only feel bad for the children who have an irresponsible parents because their parents will not really care about them and maybe encourage them more to play because they are also addicted on gambling.

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.

When you sit down with your parents and talk to them and they ask you: what have you been doing in your free time for fun? I believe or assume that you won't be afraid and ashamed to tell your parents that you went to the beach with friends, that you usually go to the bar to drink beer with friends, that you have traveled to places X and Z. see that the most regrettable thing is What this all about is that the money you spend on travel, for example $1000 on a vacation trip, is money that will also not make any profit and will not return to you, but even so you will not feel afraid or ashamed to tell your friends. parents and you won't feel afraid or ashamed to post on all your social networks.

When you go to a restaurant with friends and drink beer, you won't be afraid and ashamed to post it on your social media and tell your parents, but you won't tell your parents and you won't post it on your social media when you go to a casino physical or online gambling, this shows that you are afraid and ashamed that people will condemn you for being involved in gambling. but honestly there is no reason for anyone to hide that they play in casinos. Nowadays people place sports bets, buy lottery tickets, go to physical casinos and post on their social networks. They are not afraid or ashamed of doing this, because they are not doing anything wrong.

Parents always want their children to be well educated. and better live a luxurious life through a better job or business. no parent wants their child to become a gambler. Because gambling is a bad addiction, it destroys a person financially. A person cannot live a luxurious life by gambling it is almost impossible. So especially if my parents find out about my gambling then don't hesitate to beat me even though I am old enough now and have children of my own. And I would never want my child to gamble because I have enough experience with gambling and I know how horrible gambling is.

That is the general perspective that both parents always have in mind for their children, they educate their children in the best way they have, and also always want the best for their children in any case. Moreover, we may also know how gambling is viewed in the eyes of society, it is very negative, and even if for example one of the parents is a gambler I am sure they will not allow their children to participate in these activities, none other than because the impact is quite large.

In addition, what parents are afraid of is the addiction itself, if the child gets into addiction then it is quite difficult to cure it, and yes it is clear for the main impact problem is that their finances will be worse, there will be many new problems that come about their finances. Honestly, I've also never heard of a gambler getting rich from gambling, it just doesn't make sense, how can you get rich from an activity that only relies on luck and without any guarantee to earn, the only thing is that the number of losses will continue to dominate. So in my opinion, one of the things that parents can do is continue to look after their children, limit suspicious activities and also keep them away from an environment that allows them to recognize gambling.

Yeah that's true, no parents will be happy seeing there children gambling because the happiness and goals of every parents is to see there children becoming a successful and wealthy man in the future and if perhaps the child chose gambling it would be a heart broken to the parents because gambling cannot secure somebody's future but instead it could destroy the person future if becoming addicted to it.

So even if someone most gamble telling the parents about it is not Adviceable because it may cause them to have a negative impression on you, so is just better not to tell them anything about gambling.

You need to think through a lot of things that the child knew about this much later, but it’s better to tell him about it smoothly and give bad examples so that he doesn’t even have the thought of trying it. Although I'm not sure that this will help. This is quite difficult, because it has been said here many times that if a person wants, he will still find a place and time for gambling. I, too, wouldn't want my children to engage in gambling, but for the modern generation it is already part of life, because their peers are gambling and there is aggressive advertising everywhere. My parents don’t know whether I’m involved in gambling or not, no one wants to upset their parents.

Just last week here, when I went to a grocery store to buy things. I was hearing a grown up man was mad on his call and from the conversations, seems the money he use to sent to his son finish even before the month end and from calculation the upkeep should be enough to last him for a month despite the high cost of living. The money should be manageable for two people talk more of him that stays alone in school. After a while, the dad called back and say he knows that he also gamble, his sure that some of his money always go to betting.

These are part of challenges that parent face with their children that are not working class. How can you be gambling when you don't have a source of income while having school responsibilities, it's very bad of them. I'm not an addict that gambles all the time and I don't inform my parent as well because I'm not a kid and I'm not under anyone's roof. I believe if you don't ask anyone for money, they don't have the right to poke nose into your private life affairs but when you are under them, then they need to know.

I am a grown assed human.
My parents doesn't have to know my activities. Besides I moved out many years ago.
What I think I owe them now is respect by not bringing shame to their name through irresponsible gambling, like going into debts, getting fired from place of work because of my gambling habits, and other negative ills associated with gambling.

This is a good perspective. Kudos for having a responsible gambling habit to not bring shame upon your parents name. It's kind of rare to see someone taking care of their family name's reputation at this time because most of the time, people become selfish and tend to forget their roots. It's refreshing to know that someone values their parents and respects them so much to not taint what they take pride with. I hope many gamblers and players will have the same mindset as you. That way, there will be lesser to no case of gambling addiction, financial burdens due to gambling using credit or loans, and the likes that share negative connotation to gambling.

But maybe consider letting someone who you trusted so much to know a little bit of your gambling habit so you could still be grounded and be guided when things don't go very well. It doesn't necessarily mean to be your parents, it could be them, but if you don't want to bring stress or overthinking to them, you can just give them some hint that you occasionally play and just have a friend or your partner to know your routine in gambling, so you won't be lost in case you need some suggestions.

My parents didn't know that I gambled, but when I was young, I learned to gamble with the influence of a friend. At that time, I wasn't really aware of gambling; all I knew was that if I won, I would get money. This was when I was young. And when my parents find out about this, I receive a punishment from them.

But now that I am old and have my own family, my parents still don't know that I gamble online. But I think that even if he finds out, he will just tell me for sure that I know what I am doing between right and wrong.

Many people's lives have been ruined due to gambling and this has happened to my close friends. Because of this my family members sometimes advise me that gambling is not good. But I don't know that gambling is a serious addiction for those who are completely addicted to gambling.  Due to which it becomes very difficult for them to give up gambling in a very short period of time. Despite some family discipline, some boys avoid the eyes of their family and get addicted to various drugs including gambling.

[Obim34]

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.

Rightly said... There are persons who can merely eat one meal a day because they have very low income and you can mostly see them gambling all the time where else they are supposed to be some where doing jobs to be able to feed their family, sometimes the wife might be aware but what can she do when the man claims it is his own job and prefer gambling all day than working because of the less stress involved.

I also think the same, it is also true that the majority of their adult children do not live with their parents, it is very strange that this is the case, perhaps because they are not with a partner or something, however, as parents, children, there will always be the way that parents can do things to please their children, and one of the things is that they always talk to them, give them support and can generate that trust that they always want to show, when it comes to how to generate trust, because the Things can turn out well, since some children have a lot of trust with their parents, so in this order of things, there are some who account for everything, and this means that they can have a common opinion about their activities, but you also have to understand something When a parent forbids his children to do something it is not quite right, sometimes the children do not understand that the prohibitions are so that nothing bad happens to them, it is for protection, so based on that the children when They have that trust, parents must respect their decisions.

If a child decides to tell his father or mother that they are playing in a casino, it is not a reason for the father to go crazy and scold him, but if he must do something, give advice, in this case he cannot prohibit because he will still be safe. doing it, but if I can give you advice on how to play, how to use your money, how to diversify, that the money that goes to the casino is money that you have to be willing to lose, that you don't have to build castles in the air with that money, but quite the opposite, see that the money has the possibility of multiplying, but also of being lost, that he divides the money so that he can play every day at least for a while, this to help him, and that If I break their rules, those will be the advice I would give to my children, and that the money that is lost in the casino is because it had to be that way, and that I don't break the rules by using more money to recover because it is the but mistake, I think. that trust is always good and necessary.

Many people who do not have a large income use gambling to make money and this has been going on for a long time. And there is a possibility that their adult children also use gambling in secret because they don't want people to know they are gambling. And if their environment cannot accept someone who gambles, they will still choose to hide their gambling activities. They also don't want to see someone who will say many negative things about them or their family if people in their environment find out about their gambling activities. They should not gamble and look for other jobs to increase their income.

My parents still don't know that I gamble. I live with my parents but they still don't know about my gambling. Although I participate in gambling for entertainment, my parents will never understand. If my parents ever found out that I was involved in gambling they would put a lot of pressure and abuse on me. Because they know gambling is bad. If gambling becomes an addiction, life is completely ruined. Every parent wants their child to be happy and peaceful and his life is full of beautiful peace. No parent wants their child's life to be ruined.

The current age is digital age and parents give smartphones to their children at a young age and by the age of 6-8 they allow the children to sleep in separate rooms due to which the child gets freedom and gradually moves towards gambling while using the smartphone. And in this way, gradually gambling became addicted to the deep addiction of gambling. But these things happen behind the eyes of the parents.  A parent only gets to know this when he or she suffers a major loss through gambling

Gambling isn’t a bad addiction. Rather, it can be if left unchecked. Your opinion that no parent wants their kid to become a gambler is arguable. As you can’t speak for all parents, you don’t know for sure if some parents out there wouldn’t mind if their kid turns out to be a gambler.
Gambling can wreck anyone financially only if after taken as a habit, the person becomes addicted. If the habit is controlled, then you won’t have to worry about addiction and financial ruin.
Parents may very well want their kids to be far better off than they themselves were but there’s only so much a parent can do to their adult children.

Does it work?
No, because with this aim in reality now they have become gambling addicts and are experiencing phase of financial decline so it is not recommended to carry out gambling activities to make money.
I believe that some children who have reached adulthood with tendency to gamble are those who were initially just curious about what the adults out there were doing in gambling risking certain amount of money to win, but the children still hid what they were doing they.
If we talk about problems like this, it is actually the fault of parents who are not very strict in supervising and limiting every activity of their child and also the fault of the child himself because he has entered into gambling and is in an inappropriate environment namely the environment of gamblers.

Usually when children grow up they are more wasteful in spending and also have fun with their friends so they try to make money by gambling.
Even though know it, they will still do it because they have felt the pleasure of winning bet so they are ambitious to get it back.

Gambling is not bad, the bad is how we deal with it, the addiction, and the other negative effects that comes from ourselves. Even if you are involved in gambling, but it does not give you any negative effect, it cant be said as bad. Of course most people have a negative mindset already about gambling because there are too many bad experiences from gamblers who are addicted and affected their life. I'm not sure about how old you are, but if you are mature enough, your parents do not need to know about it but still it is better if you tell them about it. It is better that they know it because you tell them than they know it from others or catch you do it later.

I dont live with my parents now but before when I used to I do say to them that I bet on sports  mostly in finals which they are okay with and nothing wrong with as it is my money. Mostly those parents that won't accept their child doing gambling are those parents that are very religious because it is a sin to them but luckily for me it is okay for my parents but still they gave me advice about the risk of gambling which I understood.
