Do your parents know about your gambling habit ?

[retreat]

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 ?

Yes, my parents know that I am a gambler and they don't have a problem with it as long as I don't use their money and don't play too much. Moreover, I gamble online, so my parents are not too worried about me staying long at the casino and getting involved in problems with people there or others.

Parents don't need to know what their child will do when the child is an adult, whether it's gambling or other activities. gambling is always considered bad by society and our parents think the same, it is better to hide it from them so that we can still do it freely but it must be underlined if we decide not to tell us if we have to bear the risks we will bear.
Don't involve parents when your lose in gambling, especially if your take out a loan and can't pay back the bill, your parents will be responsible for your actions. Therefore, if we decide not to involve our parents, we must be clever at gambling and always use control over ourselves correct.

Nope, and I don't have a plan on letting them know that I do gambling. The first reason is because of the normal norms; gambling is a bad image for many, so I know my parents will not be happy about that or they will be concerned about me. The second reason is because I don't want them to be involved, or, let's say, as long as I don't let them involved in my habit, then I think not letting them know that I do gambling is good as long as anything that could happen because of my habit will only affect me.

[Poker Player]

Yes, in my case they have known about it for many years. I am a responsible adult who plays poker and earns money with it, I have not had gambling problems or anything. They weren't very happy at first and it's not something we talk about a lot because deep down it's a world they don't know about, but they do know about it. From time to time, like once a year, they ask me if I still play, and the truth is that I play less and less.

Beginning days of gambling were known by my mother. During those days I used to show her see what I've won and I remember mentioning about the VIP bonus provided on reaching bronze or silver. See they've given me reward just for using their platform. Those are my winning days and soon after that I started to loss and I don't had earning. By the time my mother understood and she never said anything, but when there is need for emergency money she says go loss everything and now look for borrowing. From their I never said anything and she slowly forgot things as I never say anything about gambling. Hope soon I'll recover out of the debts caused due to my gambling.

My Mom is too religious for me to tell her , or maybe she has an Idea because we have so much common friends and some relatives that i come along when going to casinos .
but I am not telling her directly , i love the way we are casual about my vices as it is truly prohibited in Her religion .
I love my Mom so i don't wanna disappoint her just because of gambling that i am into , in which I only want to enjoy and try my small luck once a week at least or 2?

I hide nothing from my parents since younger time , even My marriage is not hidden from my Mother and father.
so Yes they knew my gambling activities and even joining me in casino sometimes if had a chance.
they knew me enough to know how to handle things .
so i think their reaction is very normal and happy to what i am doing and what i have done in life.

the very first time that i told  my parents specifically my father is when I really need help and seeking theirs is my only option before my own family blown up.
I asked Him to help me out as I am an addicted gambler and losing everything each day in gambling , even drowning to debt from one place to another because of continues addiction.
lucky that i managed to get out with the help of my parents and family and now am a proud freshly living .

Telling my parents that I utilized some hours of my working days to place wagers on games, trust me when I say, they would be really mad at me. Ofcourse they would do what they're expected to as any other responsible parents, shouting and giving me advises about th strict negative consequences that follows, for me, I've chosen to remain mute with my activities cornering the gambling system. Addiction is definitely not easy to stop, but with the provided aides from our parents and love ones, quitting can be made easier because we already have in mind and determined to quit notwithstanding the current attributes that follows.

No one knows I gamble so I can be calm while I gamble. But even though they knew, it seemed they didn't mind because they already knew what happened to me beforehand. They know I can take care of myself well so they won't ask any questions and just keep quiet. And until now, I gamble online so that no one knows. Moreover, I gamble at night when everyone is asleep so no one knows. But I don't gamble too often so I don't have any problems with gambling now. Moreover, I can still control myself well.

My parents don't know anything about my gambling. I don't tell them anything about gambling. Because if they come to know then they will develop a negative attitude towards me. Also, if I lose gambling, I sometimes arrange money from my family in other ways. If they find out about my gambling habit, they will stop supporting me financially. They will start distrusting me. I think it's not just my parents but many family members don't like gambling. Many do not find any difference between gambling addicts and drug addicts. So I always prefer never to share my gambling habits with others.

I was a high school student when I gambled for the first time and I tried to hide it from my parents although I know that my father is also a gambler (traditional gambler) who gamble when there is special moment only in my village. Although I have tried to hide it but my parents knew about my gambling activity eventually. Their reaction was not as what I thought, I thought that they will be so angry but they just told me something like "it is fine if you want to gamble, but be responsible, use your own money and do not use the money we give for your school/education".

Yes, that's gambling no matter how you hide it, no matter how tight you hide it by not telling anyone at all, one day it will definitely be found out too, just like you hide a carcass over time, it will smell too. Therefore, instead of continuing to hide it, it is better for you to try to stop, I understand that it is quite difficult, but nothing is impossible if you keep trying even if slowly.

Of course, every parent has a different perspective and response every time they see or face a problem, I see that your parents are quite different, which as you said you thought they would scold you for being caught gambling but apparently the assumption was wrong. But to be honest here I see your parents are quite understanding, they don't scold you because maybe they know you are a big boy and should be able to think to distinguish what is good and what is bad, I am quite impressed with the advice conveyed by your parents. Instead of scolding you they responded with a suggestion that you can consider, that's right, it doesn't matter if you want to gamble but we have to be responsible gamblers by accepting all the risks involved and also of course with strong self-control so that you don't go too far into gambling.

If it so then yours is better, someone can gambler to the extent that his friends will not be aware of it, but some people put much hope on gambling and get addicted to it that they will do anything possible to gamble even though they will go and borrow money to gamble and later they lose, people that are addicted to gambling are not afraid to borrow because they always think that they can win. In this aspect that is when the parents will be aware that their child gamble when the people is owing are trying to collect their money and his refusing to give them that when they will report him to his parents. To make a gamble secret you have to plan for it that's set a budget for it then it will be secret.

When you are not staying with your parents then why would they need to know about your gambling habit. It is none of their concern as soon as you leave their house. If you're leaving their then you are earning for yourself. In that case you can do whatever you want to do with your own money. Unless you have responsibilities no one is interested in your activities.

No,they don't but my wife does.There is no real reason to burden your parents with your problems as gambling most of the time can be considered a problem by most of our parents so why worry them with that.We can keep it for ourselves and only in the event where we dive deep down into aggressive addiction only then we should tell them by asking for help as they are the best that can help us with any problems we might encounter.

I don't know what would be their reaction but certainly if they find out it won't be a good one despite me having created a family of my own.

Many parents will certainly be surprised when they find out that their children are gambling, especially if they come from a culture or religion that is very against gambling, but for families who are more modern or open to everything, they will consider it normal, especially if gambling is commonplace in their community.
However, parents should be able to provide the right knowledge to their children about gambling and how gambling must be done carefully and responsibly so that they don't get caught up in gambling addiction because this is an activity that is always interesting to do because it often makes gamblers curious about the results.

[btc_angela]

Of course, as a parent, they will have react negatively if they know that their kids are into gambling, specially if they are still very young. Traditionally though, if you are grown up, then you don't need to live with your parents or at least get out of the house and established yourself. So maybe that's where majority of us started our gambling careers or addiction.

And I think our kids will not tell us if they are into gambling, they are going to hide it as much as they can. So it's either we are going to learn it and then tell our kids to stop, or not learn and until our kids have grown up already.

Of course, as a parent, they will have react negatively if they know that their kids are into gambling, specially if they are still very young.

What do you mean that the parents will have to react negatively if they know that their children are involved in gambling? By negatively reaction, you mean that parents need to stop them or they need to ignore and pretend that they do not know that their children are gambling.

The reason is that if the parents know that their kids are gambling, then it is their duty to stop them. If they do not stop them, this means that they are encouraging them to play. Knowing them playing and keeping silent means that they are supporting you. One condition is that they can pretend that they do not know that kids are gambling, in this way the fear of getting caught will remain in children who are gambling.

My father found out that I sometimes bet when I was still underage, he just told me - I won’t ask you what it is and why you do it, it’s your business, you are responsible for it. In fact, my father never dealt with gambling, I’m not sure that he really understood what it was, but after his words I really began to treat gambling more responsibly. I understood that even at that time there was no prohibition for me, but there was trust, and this is what I valued most.
