Do your parents know about your gambling habit ?

[Oilacris]

It really isn't necessary for us to tell people about our gambling habits or activities even with friends or family. I, too, live along with my parents and I have never told them my gambling activities online but I'm sure they're aware that I'm gambling as I casually visit local casino malls. Its not really about being discriminated by my family or friends but rather it's something that isn't necessary to talk about unless you've hit jackpots.

I think it's not the same situation when it comes to other people because like for example in our country, parents are more responsible for their children and always look for them whenever they are not around, and guess what? they always knew what they were up to and sometimes they found them in the gambling den along with their friends. that's why it depends because you cannot just hide it when you have that kind of parents who always look after you. I remember my friend got beaten badly by his dad after he was found gambling with cards along with the adults in the other village.

Having that kind of strict parent will ended up having a child who tends to hide everything to them, I know that they should be responsible but please set a boundary, do not let them  interfere in your decisions and privacy. Also, As long as you know what you're doing and you're aware in the consequences of the things that you do, then it's very okay to not let them know that you're into gambling. I mean, i didn't say that you should lie to your parents but set a boundary, not all the things in your life should have know by your parents.

Generally speaking the gamblers do not tell their parents that they are involved in gambling. The reason for this is that they fear that if they tell their parents they may force time to stop gambling or they may give them punishment or something like that. The sort of treatment the parents do with the children if they know they are involved in gambling will also depend upon the age of the children.

The parents do know that thier children involved in gambling or not,  in most cases parents will not tell their children that they know it from their words or their behaviours.

This is true yet we do know that our parents wouldnt really be liking on seeing their children to get involved with gambling which we know that they are far more experienced than us on which it would really be that normal that they would really be that telling you on avoiding it as much as possible considering on the risks of losing so much money and so as with on the possible addiction that you would really be able to experience.In my case then i wont really be that open that much when it comes to my gambling habits on which i would really be that keeping it as a secret but of course im making really that myself on having that good control when it comes to spending since im just still relying on them when it comes to money or allowance.

Unless if you do have your own family then you wont really be that living aside with your parents or simply you do have that freedom on things that you do like to engage on.
It is really just that there are people who do really fail on doing things specially on dealing with gambling.

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.

A gambling addict will experience financial decline as he uses more and more money to gamble. If he can't realize it, he will see that all his money, even the money in his savings, may also be used for gambling. But even so, it is unlikely that he can get a big win because it all depends on his luck in gambling. And I would not be surprised if in the future, we will see young people gambling more often, even in public places, because they think gambling in public places is something they usually do. And problems like this indeed arise due to the fault of parents who cannot supervise their children properly. They tend to be more busy with their work than watching their children so they don't know what their children and their friends are doing. The company of friends also plays a role in getting a child used to gambling. Therefore, parents must be able to provide an understanding of how to get along and avoid problems later.

If they cannot manage their finances, they will become wasteful and ask their parents for money more often. And if parents never check how their money is used, their children will feel free to use their money to gamble. They will increasingly ask their parents for money when they lose gambling and this will continue to happen until their parents find out what their children are doing with the money their parents give them.

Watching someone's money drop like that because they are addicted to gaming is shocking. Giving away money that was made, and for what? A brief chance to be lucky? This is unbelievable. You hit the nail on the head when you said that there might be a rise in young people gambling. This careless approach toward gambling in public places shows a scary shift in social norms. What' even scarier, though? Mom and dad. They get so caught up in their lives and work that they forget what their main job is. The job of care, supervision, and direction. Yes, friends are important, but parents should really be the ones to set limits and teach knowledge.

What will happen to these young minds if they dont learn the value of money and how to be responsible with money? You keep asking your parents for money, then you spend it on a game of chance and ask them for more? It keeps going and going. And parents need to wake up to what they need to do. They are indirectly helping their child become addicted to drugs if they dont keep an eye on where their money is going. Its not enough to just give money; you need to know what its for and step in when you need to.

It is really just that there are people who do really fail on doing things specially on dealing with gambling.

Of course, as we know the society's view on gambling is very negative, I'm not mentioning that this statement does not apply to countries that legalize gambling, but in general it is true that the society's view on gambling is very negative, none other than because the risks that are there are very large, so this activity is really not recommended. That's true, and I think no matter how bad your parents are I'm sure they won't like or allow you to gamble because well every parent wants the best for their child. Mostly I think gambling will only cause a lot of problems, it's true as you said so it's only natural that parents forbid you because they don't want their children to experience serious financial problems. I think in terms of being open or not it depends on the person, if they don't like it if their activities are known by others then they will find ways to continue to hide it, but I think over time your parents will find out because they are the closest people to you. It won't really matter if you have strong control and boundaries, because you won't have financial problems because of that activity.

And I don't care whether you live with your family or separately, the most important thing is that you must remain firm in applying good self-control, that's all.

Yes, supervision, direction and care from parents are very necessary for the development of their children so that they do not do the wrong things and take the wrong path. With today's more advanced technology, parents' tasks have become even more complex because apart from being required to work better so they can earn a good income, they are also required to be able to supervise their children so they don't go down the wrong path. Unfortunately, many parents spend their days with their children and are busy with their work for the reason of supporting their family. That's not wrong because that's a parent's obligation to their family, but everything has to be in a balanced portion so that everything can run well.

So far, that is what happens to many young people where they see their parents can give them money, whatever they ask for, but they don't think about how they can make their own money from their work. That's what many young people don't realize and they will only feel it after they finish school and want to look for work. They will not be ready for the situations and conditions where they have to compete with other young people and it is those who are not ready who may take the wrong path because they do not see that they can compete but they do not want to try.

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 ?

My parents aren't really tech-savvy, so when I was gambling on online websites, they had no clue about it. They did ask me what I was up to, and I simply told them it's just a game. They're more familiar with the traditional types of gambling. I remember when I was younger, they were super strict and absolutely prohibited me from getting involved in any kind of gambling. If they were to find out that I'm still gambling but in a different way, I might just find myself out of the house.

Even if parents are aware about their adult children gambling lifestyle, they may not be too worried because they are old enough to afford money for gambling and are in the age of making choice on the kind of life they need for themselves.

Parents never stop worrying about their kids, no matter how grown-up they become. This concern extends to risky and potentially harmful stuff like gambling. So, it's often best to keep them in the dark about it.

[dezoel]

Right, I never thought gambling was bad. I participate here mainly for entertainment. I'm old enough to say I'm fairly mature. But I don't tell my parents about this gambling because my parents and I live in village. Some local people here spend their lives gambling by sitting on the roadside. If I tell my parents about gambling, my parents will abuse me a lot thinking about these local people and put a lot of pressure on me. Because they don't know about this online gambling they realize that gambling is basically played physically by the local people sitting on the roadside.

Many people still think that gambling is bad because they have often seen what gambling causes. For this reason, they forbid their children from approaching gambling and are not even allowed to know about gambling at all. Unfortunately, in this era of advanced technology, young people can find out about gambling easily because by searching on the internet, they can get all the answers and can start gambling. Now, it is only by providing understanding to children that every parent can do so that their children do not get involved in gambling. But there are still local or illegal casinos operating in our cities so that people can come to them to gamble.

You mean it's side effects. What about the benefits of it? Didn't they saw it? They shouldn't be biased and go only on one side. As long as we educate our children properly and allow them to play on it, I think nothing can go wrong. Agree about the current era, and there is no need for the person to search it because gambling ads are automatically popping out in the apps or sites that we visit. They are also being hyped by the influencers.

Illegal casinos in the locals are usually hard to spot but there are still the legal ones though I think they have age restrictions. When I was a kid, parents are only worrying about those computer shops because they are the ones who allow minors.

It's not really a topic that comes up for discussion very much, but if you're only spending small amounts that are well within your hard earned income then it's nobody elses business really. I am quite happy, if the conversation came up, to share that I place some very small bets occasionally on different sports, because there should be no shame if you are simply doing it for a bit of entertainment. Some people choose to golf, some people choose to play video games, others choose to gamble and some choose to do all of these things. If you're calling it a "habit" you might be straying into addiction type territory, I personally would not be bothered if I couldn't gamble for weeks or months on end.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

At my age, my parents don't go through my phone, nor do they ask me where I am going; I am not also living with them in the same city. So, nothing to fear; even if my parents knew that I was a gambler today, they would believe that they had given me all the morals that's supposed to guide me in whatever decision I am taking. I have not been a compulsive gambler right from the start and have no intentions of becoming one. The only situation where my parents would feel pity for me is to find out that I am a compulsive gambler who is wasting all of my resources only on gambling.

If children can play it while always paying attention to self-control, that's fine and nothing wrong. But we know how gambling can tempt everyone and even adults are often influenced by gambling and forget to stop gambling, especially children who don't have good self-control and can be tempted by the offers they see. If children are tempted and become more frequent gamblers and experience gambling problems, who will be responsible? Is it the children or the parents? Obviously, the parents because will have a hard time taking care of their children who have become addicted to gambling.

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 ?

No, I don't think it's right at all for any parents to discover that their children gamble for a living; that's a bad reputation, in my opinion. Additionally, I don't think any parent will be happy if their children are gamblers; most parents who gamble won't like it because they think their children should be better than them. I once saw a father and son gamble, and I wondered if that was the best course of action for them to take. I never saw myself in this situation before, even when I was gambling, but I do stop when I know my parents won't like it when they find out that I'm doing this kind of thing. I therefore stop as soon as I can, just to avoid being involved in many issues.

Because nobody in my family has ever been found gambling, and I won't allow that to start with me, so no one knows about it. However, I have a strong feeling that their response won't be positive at all because the worst thing about losing money is that you can't expect someone to be happy if you're not winning. The majority of parents won't like it even if we always win.

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.

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.

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

Children today are very intelligent, very fast and advance at a high level, so I consider that things when it comes to how to educate children are very varied, there are parents who are still very dedicated, but there are others who They prefer to give them a phone so they can play and let the parents do their things, it is like an entertainment measure, so things are not like that, now children need to do many other activities, get them into music, sports, where they can bounce all that energy, in a phone what you look for are problems, I think things should be done in a different way, parents have to pay more attention to their children, a phone at that age, makes them very skilled when it comes to phones , PC, everything, but practically they will become very dependent on that, it is not what they are looking for, parents must be much more responsible with their children, this is something that has to improve enormously.

Today's parents do things that can be a bit abstract, they leave their children alone at home and do not take the care they should with them, they do not supervise them, and they are only interested in ensuring that they are entertained, so it is easy for a Children tend to invent by searching for things on the Internet and inventing a lot, for example it is very easy for them to access any network to be able to have access to any type of games, and of course we must not rule out that when they enter casinos it is a danger. First because they are very curious, also if the father or mother leaves the phone there it is very easy for them to take it and start doing things, to invent, then this type of things is what an adult must supervise them, they in If they are not to blame, the fault lies with the parents who allow a child to take that attitude on a phone, tablet, or anything, this is something that must be provided so that he can have a better childhood, there is no other.

[Sanugarid]

Yes, my parents know that I am a gambler but they don't stop me or hear anything bad about me because I am of legal age. They only have reminders not to overdo it with gambling etc. Parents thing and that will not go away because they are still worried. Once my cousins ​​and I would compete in gambling and our parents were there, they could see that we were enjoying ourselves. Just remember not to overdo it when it comes to gambling, you should always control your emotions and yourself. When your parents see that you can handle it, you won't hear anything from them.

I won’t say that I have a gambling habit. Yes I do gamble occasionally for some extra profits whenever required. Gambling is just like investing for me. Yes it’s investing with some extra risk in it. Moreover I also gamble with funds which I can afford to lose. So I tell my parents that I invest in some types of schemes. I don’t specify them that I gamble. I am sure many of us does this.

Yep, as long as you can make your parents feel secure about your decisions, like in my case, my family knows I gamble, but they know that I'm not addicted to it. But it doesn't stop at family opposition or support, but I myself am a person who witnessed my grandfather being a lottery addict and my father being a gambling addict, as well as having many times my family had creditors come to demand money from me, according to my memories. And actually, I wanted to advise them to stop, but I never said that to them. Maybe some bad images from gambling appeared in the family that made me more aware and didn't want me to turn myself into a bad person a gambling addict.

There is no denying the extraordinary intelligence of today's kids. They're sophisticated, quick, and able to take in knowledge like sponges. Here's the point, though, people: handing them a phone? That is not the solution. In no way! While computers, tablets, and phones are all fantastic tools, they aren't our children's only options

Both you and I have now witnessed it. Sometimes, even excellent parents may just give their children a phone to keep them quiet. But what takes place? They end up where they shouldn't be. You name it: unsuitable games, gambling websites. It's a massive issue. A major issue! We must engage our children in other pursuits, such as athletics, music, or anything else that allows them to express their limitless energy

Parents, pay attention! You must exercise greater responsibility. It goes beyond merely keeping people engaged. It's about producing responsible, well-rounded people. This include setting screen time limits, monitoring their internet activity, and making sure they stay out of trouble. Although that's a big task, we must do it. For the benefit of our children and the times ahead

[len01]

Yep, as long as you can make your parents feel secure about your decisions, like in my case, my family knows I gamble, but they know that I'm not addicted to it. But it doesn't stop at family opposition or support, but I myself am a person who witnessed my grandfather being a lottery addict and my father being a gambling addict, as well as having many times my family had creditors come to demand money from me, according to my memories.

Maybe some bad images from gambling appeared in the family that made me more aware and didn't want me to turn myself into a bad person a gambling addict.

you should not say that to your family members who are addicted because it is just a waste because your grandfather or father will never listen to your advice because they know you are also a gambler just like you when your father banned smoking but you answered why should I stop smoking while father also smokes.

In this scenario, its up to you to make the decision, but the advice is that even if you are not a gambling addict and your family knows it, you want your grandfather or father to stop gambling, at least you should stop first before giving advice.

[God bless u]

First of all parents should not leave their children alone in the age of teenage because in such age they accept wrong activities and don't share their ideas with parents. I am not a part of gambling and I can proudly tell about my work to my parents and if I involved in gambling then I will conceal my this act from everyone as a result of which I will spoil my life and nobody will know about this.

Parents should keep check on their children and if they find their children to gamble then strictly ordered them to leave gambling because gambling is such a bad addiction  that it snatch the happiness of gamblers and he will loss all relationships due to such bad field. Lots of people go away from home in order to get education and then become engaged in something useless or bad therefore I will suggest that education can be obtained anywhere so educate your children in a location where you can keep check on them.

[boty]

Yes, my parents know that I am a gambler but they don't stop me or hear anything bad about me because I am of legal age. They only have reminders not to overdo it with gambling etc. Parents thing and that will not go away because they are still worried. Once my cousins ​​and I would compete in gambling and our parents were there, they could see that we were enjoying ourselves. Just remember not to overdo it when it comes to gambling, you should always control your emotions and yourself. When your parents see that you can handle it, you won't hear anything from them.

It is true that there are some parents who don't mind their children gambling, but they always remind them that by gambling you won't have financial problems. Of course as parents you always hope for the best for your children and we also have to listen to what parents say, don't make them lose. the trust they have placed in us.

[piebeyb]

Because nobody in my family has ever been found gambling, and I won't allow that to start with me, so no one knows about it. However, I have a strong feeling that their response won't be positive at all because the worst thing about losing money is that you can't expect someone to be happy if you're not winning. The majority of parents won't like it even if we always win.

It was a good decision that you managed to hide it from your parents and family, after all in this world not many parents are happy and know that their child is a gambler because there are not many parents who like to hear and see their child gambling, if you Using your own money to gamble is even better so that it doesn't harm your parents when you lose at gambling.

As long as you can gamble with good control, there is no problem hiding your gambling activities because gambling is not important and must be published unless we are a streamer or influencer to attract interest and promote referrals. Maybe we need to publish our gambling activities, if we gamble for Personally, I don't think it's important that many people know that, because privacy is of course very important for ourselves, I also gamble in secret except for my wife and she is the person I trust to control my gambling budget.

[Roseline492]

Yes, my parents know that I am a gambler but they don't stop me or hear anything bad about me because I am of legal age.

One of the factors that makes parents to have a serious concern on the gambling of their children is actually because of age, however if we are of age to make decisions on our own and to stand by it I see no reason why our parents will ask us to stop.

On less the person gambling habits is becoming so overwhelming for him that he thinks about nothing else but gambling all the time, so just like you say that your parents is fully aware about your gambling activities, perhaps the irrespective of how grown up you have become, the reason why they have not said anything was because you gamble very responsibly.
