Who should quit, and why?

[odunybiz]

Well, we know that gambling is for everyone, it just depends on how responsible you are when you are gambling. From your case OP, you have mentioned that both parties are gambling and also they have a child, from the fact that you have a child and both of you are risking your money, just imagine what would happen in case of emergency, how can you provide all the needs of your child. In this case, it would depend on the situation, cause one might have a gambling addiction and won't stop even if another one has already stopped, which can cause conflict. As a partner, they should know to stop for the sake of the family, children must rely upon them so they must sacrifice their habits and enjoyment for the betterment financially.

There are things parents should stop once children starts coming in the picture, I know how devastating gambling can be to humans but I think with discipline one can curtail his or her habit, there are some things you will be doing in your children's presence you will live to see the consequences because when they start imitating you, they will continue to make the habit a life style until it becomes part of their life, there is no way two spouse will be a gamble and you still expect such house to be responsible is no-no, but if both party can let go of their habit and work together they can achieved a happy home together.

And there is a lot of research on other fields that supports what you are saying, since it is known that if a kid grows in a home in which both parents drink, use drugs or are overweight then the chances the kid does the same thing as an adults increases a lot.

So if a kid were to watch their parents to gamble it is likely they will do it too, now gambling responsibly is not an issue, but it is likely that a person that is exposed to gambling at such an early age will be unable to control their gambling as well as a person that was not exposed to it so early on.

The main issue here is the children. The children will definitely see gambling as a responsible thing. It won't be easy to correct such act from the children since it something they have started at the early stage of their life. The parent may be able to control there gambling act and make a responsible gambling because they no the consequences of being a gambling addict. But the children will never consider this. It better the parent quit gambling or do it in a secret way which won't be exposed to the children.

Those who stop are those who realize how bad gambling is. they will definitely stop if it harms them. This is very simple but very meaningful if they cannot control their gambling desires they will continue to spend their assets until there is nothing left. I think stopping gambling is not suitable for people who are willing to run out of free money. except for an addict who even disrupts his family life. this just said they should stop as soon as possible.

When someone is aware of the bad effects of gambling, of course they will look for ways to reduce the gambling they do or stop gambling. If we cannot control ourselves in gambling, we will of course do it until the money we have is gone, of course there is nothing left. it will be very detrimental to us, but it is not an easy thing to stop gambling if we are addicted and what is worse is when people who are addicted have an impact on those closest to them.

I think that a family in which a husband and wife gamble, especially ones in which they place bets against a professional bookmaker, is doomed to collapse. Such a family will not last long. They apparently don't know that the casino and bookmaker have an advantage over you. And this advantage manifests itself over the long haul. Most likely, funds will run out quite quickly. And this will lead to conflicts in the family. Conflicts will arise due to lack of funds. And if they do not switch to a normal source of income, their quality of life will plummet. At least one person in the family must have a source of income that is not related to gambling.

although in my opinion it is difficult to be aware of the bad effects of gambling, because someone who is addicted to gambling will likely only think about winning and things about gambling, therefore it will be difficult for them to realize that what they are doing is wrong, but even though it is difficult I think they can realize it if they themselves are aware of it, because in my opinion, even if they are advised and given input, even if it is by their family, if they themselves are not aware of their behavior, it is already detrimental to themselves, it is possible that they will not easily realize it and will not there are thoughts of stopping gambling.
but no matter how difficult it is, they have to be aware when they have their own family, because if they are still not aware, it is possible that their addiction will have an impact on their own family which could result in them getting divorced due to irregular financial factors. I think that if you really want to gamble, you should look at the situation of your family and yourself first, because there are people who insist on continuing to gamble even though they have their own family and even have children who obviously have to be supported every day.

A family where husband and wife gamble will definitely have a bad impact one day, if no one gives in and continues to gamble, over time this will cause conflict because they feel their finances are increasingly unstable. A family must lower the ego of one of them or stop all of them if they want to get a life that is sufficient, harmonious and away from gambling which is a major financial problem, because if you continue to gamble it will become a big problem one day and it is not impossible that it will lead to divorce because no one will give in to stop one.

If a husband and wife are addicted to gambling, of course this will cause even more serious problems because no one can control themselves to stop gambling. But if a husband and wife gamble just for fun and can manage their finances in such a way and use gambling together without any differences then this It's not a problem and you can remind each other if you have exceeded your limits and still prioritize household needs over gambling.

There is no need to determine who should stop gambling, especially if they are husband and wife. They should prioritize the interests of their family rather than entertainment because gambling is included in activities that provide entertainment. If the two of them could immediately stop their gambling activities because they prioritize the interests of their family, that would be very good because they are willing to give up their current pleasures to be able to do what is best for their family. They will know that gambling can cause problems for their family, whatever the reason. Instead of them having problems later in their family, it would be better for both of them just to stop it and prefer to put their family first rather than just gambling. After all, the fun of gambling requires using money, where that money cannot always give them a win.

It is the best option they can do in this kind of situation. However, the bigger question is how they are going to do that. Husband and wife engage in gambling activities, assuming they are playing even before they become married, it is already part of their life. They can't easily give up their gambling activities unless they experience something that will make them realize the bad effects of gambling.

Well, I only say this because I know someone with the same scenario. My friend and his wife decided to quit gambling. While one of them has stayed true to their word, the other continues to gamble in secret without their spouse's knowledge or consent.
The same thing might happen with this scenario unless they both realize what they should do and put their family first rather than their gambling activities.

In a family where the husband gambles alongside the wife, there is no doubt that people may think of their children as future gamblers. Such perspectives aren't wrong, neither is it a threat to the future life of the children. The most crucial duty is the act of management; kids, family, money, food, bills, etc. These few utilities shouldn't compound to become a problem in any family. Both gamblers must be able to instruct their children on what to do at a specific time and monitor their internet access. Recommending a keylogger installed on the devices or gadgets of the kids would be important. So that the parent would be able to observe any single search the child is inputting on his system. Children are very skillful and fast at adapting to new technologies, hence parents must act as adults too, by staying extra hours in researching for means to stay ahead of their children. The kids we own are our responsibility, they should be grown in a way that pleases us, and if one is found misbehaving, the parents must caution the child to stop. Or be punished. What kind of punishment is effective in changing a change?

In previous years, our parents were used to seizing our gadgets or maybe restricting us from going to participating in games we love like football, basketball, etc. Those moves weren't effective, in my response, because at some point they weren't able to keep up with the pace and got tired, hence the child continued with his bad habit. Punishing a child could be done in different ways. When I want to change a child, I don't buy them what  I bought for others as a punishment. That child would have a rethink or sometimes cry over it. Such things leave a mark on the child that lets him remember that whenever s/he misbehaves his parents won't buy him gifts when they buy for his siblings. Then that child would begin to shape his ways, to be eligible for the next gift. I've used this method to get most children close to me, interested in mathematics and they hardly fail on doing their maths assignments. Parents can as well use this to caution a child that feels the urge to gamble as a minor.

Parents must admit that their children can use their devices better than their parents, so parents must be wise about their use. Parents need to give their children an understanding of what they can and cannot do with their devices so that their children will not try to do something that could put them at risk. There are many ways that every parent can do this, but this requires learning from parents to know what needs to be done. Children are the responsibility of parents. It cannot be denied, so no matter how busy parents are, they must still be able to find time to accompany their children and not leave them alone to use their devices. Nowadays, many children have fallen into things that are not right, so parents need hard work so that their children can get back on the right track. For this reason, if parents have provided guidance and supervision since their children were at an early age, parents will have no difficulty in providing an understanding of something so that their children will understand more quickly.

Confiscating children's devices because they don't want to comply with their parents' wishes is not a solution. These children want to be understood by their parents, so they ask for attention from their parents so they can use their devices when they are free. Maybe parents can make a schedule for when their children are allowed to use their devices, and after that, their children have to put down their devices and do other activities so that they don't get addicted to using them. Nowadays, children are more busy with their devices than interacting socially with other people, especially their parents and siblings. And if they will need clarification if they don't get an internet connection, they will do many things to get an internet connection. Parents need to worry about this because if left unchecked, their children can fall into negative habits that can cause problems for them and their parents.

The new generation of computer human wares are so connected to the computer more than the hardware are connected to the computer Kids are growing up faster and operates gadgets better than the grown ups or adults. Sometimes I wonder how they do it or learn how to operate phones and laptops, without a mentor. It's been a thing of surprise for the older generation, but we all need to regulate and moderate how the children are to use their gadgets not to fall into the hands of bad actor or get addicted to screen. Which affects the brain similarly like the gambling addiction, and if a child is not moderated while growing up, if they ever get to learn about gambling, it'll be easier to be addicted in the process, because they are, already, addicted to screen. Many parents off the general wifi for the homes at a specific time to make sure the children don't access the internet.

But, due too offline games, the child would spend more time on the phone, playing games or move ahead to use the TV, these things were regulated during our days, when to watch the Television. Therefore, it's good to take the phone from them for a while and give them access someother times, so that they have enough time to read their books. Without any distraction. However, some kids would want to research using their Ipad, but I don't see it as a better alternative for young people to use those devices for assignment, because they may not resist a single notification from their browser or the game app they enjoy playing. The parents supervision on issues like that are required to help a better communication between parents and their children. As these days the phone are now taking over the roles of the parents in the society. Kids no longer bother asking their parents some questions bothering them. Most times I don't blame the kids, as few parents would yell back to the child, " Google It"

Hey house someone need a few clips here, don't know if a post of this exact nature has been discussed though.

In a situation where the both spouse are gamblers. Husband gambles, wife gambles, how can both of them manage the situation in terms of finance and the family affairs especially when children are now involve so that the time both spends on gambling doesn't affect family moments and affairs in general.

Would it help if  one of the couple quit for the other and if that's the case who should quit for who.

I think the wife should quit because gambling is not the nature of women. People always sees a woman that gambles as someone who is not a good woman or a wayward woman. Though it might be wrong and also wright at some point. Women are sopos to be an adviser of the male counterparts in any thing be it drinking, smoking, womanizing, drug and many addiction including gambling addiction. So if the woman fails to encourage the man when he is going astray, the woman has lost her value as mother. The meaning of woman is the helper of man and if the woman chose not to play a good role then is left for her.

I have seen many family where almost every body is a gambler. and I can tell you that non today have nothing good to write home about. Sometimes I see that the cause of such thing is the father/man of the house. I think if the man did not introduce gambling in the first place to his family I don't think all will become gamblers.

at the end of the day, it is better if both of them quit gambling, they have a kid that they need to focus on, and gambling is not as important as children, so why risk one of them getting addicted and potentially ruining their financial stability?

Well, it’s awkward but in a way, it seems that’s how the both of them do connect, through gambling. At least, they’ve got something in common, something to talk about, something that bonds them together so, why would you want to take that away from them. You might end up breaking their relationship.

Instead of either of them having to stop, I think they are better off, discussing there gambling options, what bets to take and not take, what stakes to make, what limits to set on there gambling habits and they might just find some means to manage their homes even with the gambling. There might not really be a need to quit the way, just some effective management of the situation.

Well, I disagree with you, is either you are not married yet, but if you are, and you think it's OK for married couples to both be gambling, then you are not completely married yet  .

There are so many other things through which a husband and his wife can bond together, things are more normal and less awkward, things that are more likely to bring long term fun and not cause financial sorrow of any kind.

A husband and wife can bond together by constantly cooking together, washing together, going out on a date, watching movies together, and so many other things that won't give them the chances of winning money, which also means they could lose money as well, which when a lose happens, it could affect them both.

Family live is full of expenses, most especially when children are already involved, the dumbest thing a husband and a wife would do is to spend money that should have been used for their children school fees, or other important things in the house, on gambling.

That is the impact of this rapid technological development, which children and adults also feel. They can find many interesting things on the internet that can provide them with more knowledge to get more information than searching or asking people around them. However, what needs to be done is to regulate and moderate how children use their devices because when they use the internet, they will explore a world without boundaries. They can fall into misinformation that they may believe more than other, more accurate information. And using the internet will also trigger them to become addicted to using their devices. If they are also familiar with gambling, they will also gamble more often than doing other activities. Children now use their devices more often than physical activities, so many lack socialization with the people around them.

But if parents can moderate their children's devices and regulate when their children can use their devices, their children will not become dependent on their devices and only use them occasionally when they need it. They will do physical activities more often and use their devices so that they will not encounter difficulties when socializing with the people around them or with new people they meet. Supervision from their parents is necessary so that their children do not exceed their limits in using their devices and so that they know what they can do when they are using their devices. We cannot completely blame children for using their devices to find the information they need, but we are also required to be able to guide them well so that they don't go down the wrong path and can use their devices well. When children gain the trust of their parents in using their devices, they will not abuse that trust, so they can also have good responsibility in using their devices.

If we cannot control ourselves in gambling, we will of course do it until the money we have is gone, of course there is nothing left. it will be very detrimental to us, but it is not an easy thing to stop gambling if we are addicted and what is worse is when people who are addicted have an impact on those closest to them.

That is it, many gamblers know that they are already out of the right bound but they continue unchanged regardless because they do not have that strong mind to say no. Do you know their faults? They did not learn about gambling from the beginning, nor did they know the implications of it if one didn't exercise caution from the beginning. If this has already eaten them deep, it will be difficult to let go. You may ask the gambling addicts you know if they would be sincere with you, they will continue to tell you that they wish to let go but they can't and there is no advice you can give to them that will yield unless they have the willpower in them to say no and that would end it all. This is sad for them.

Gambling can be noble and responsible only if gamblers gamble with care and plans, they should not focus on the money they want to gain. If the money comes, it is good as an added advantage, but the main focus is to see it as a means for fun, that is the only way they can gamble and not hurt themselves and their finances. I also noticed that those who are cautious enough to maintain a few bucks for wagering are better than those who are just committing big money to it. That may not stop them from wagering consistently but they will maintain the little amount so that it will not affect their finances. This style alone can even help them to stop easily when they want if they can maintain it. It is possible simply because the style denotes that they do not give in entirely to gambling, so the negative effect can't be total on them too.

@Fivestar4everMVP in a very broad way you have made a lot of sense with what you said, if there's anything in this life that should bring peaceful bond between spouses gambling is not what of them as it involves a high propensity of losing money to making money from it. And money related matters are a one key problem in relationships that have caused many spouse to opt for divorce as a way to settle their scores and path ways.

The coordination that @Smartvirus might be expecting to exist between two gambling spouse is just not possible, they can easily coordinate in running any other business but any attempt to do that with gambling it can affect other areas of family live and the children well being. For instance, when both spouse coordinate to bet a game with the family money and lost that money, the loss can affect their countenance therefore diverting aggression on the children for any little wrong they may have done. Etc.

What makes more sense and what is better to do is to choose to agree with your partner to quit simultaneously because that is more fair than choosing one of them, after all, why choose one to quit if quitting simultaneously can still be done and made an option? I don't think there is any reason to argue with this idea and suggestion.

None other than because the balance of family finances is a more important thing to pay attention to and maintain, moreover there are many responsibilities that must be prioritized as you said, a child really must be prioritized and paid attention to, not only that because there are still quite a lot of other needs that must be fulfilled such as electricity bills, water, monthly shopping, children's needs and school fees, and by both quitting gambling then obviously the financial balance will be better maintained. I understand it's not easy but there will always be a way if we want to try and have sincerity in our intentions.

If for that couple gambling is indeed a harmless hobby then you will be right, given that they have enough money to sustain two people to gamble with their salaries.

However while there is nothing wrong with gambling, there are so many other options for a couple to bond together that I do not see why they could not replace it with some other activity if they felt like it, and once kids enter the picture, it may be a good idea to do it simply because of the added costs a children represents.

[SeaCoinCollector.]

Couples who both bet a lot need to talk about it and set clear limits so that they can balance their spending on family and gambling. Playing games shouldn't cost the family too much money. People who talk about how much time and money they spend on games will get along better and fight less. Both of you can gamble together, or you can choose your own time. This way, everyone can do what they want without skipping jobs around the house. Then everyone in the family can stay calm and figure out a way to make everything better. When kids are involved, this is very important.

I think the wife should quit because gambling is not the nature of women. People always sees a woman that gambles as someone who is not a good woman or a wayward woman. Though it might be wrong and also wright at some point. Women are sopos to be an adviser of the male counterparts in any thing be it drinking, smoking, womanizing, drug and many addiction including gambling addiction. So if the woman fails to encourage the man when he is going astray, the woman has lost her value as mother. The meaning of woman is the helper of man and if the woman chose not to play a good role then is left for her.

I have seen many family where almost every body is a gambler. and I can tell you that non today have nothing good to write home about. Sometimes I see that the cause of such thing is the father/man of the house. I think if the man did not introduce gambling in the first place to his family I don't think all will become gamblers.

at the end of the day, it is better if both of them quit gambling, they have a kid that they need to focus on, and gambling is not as important as children, so why risk one of them getting addicted and potentially ruining their financial stability? 

What makes more sense and what is better to do is to choose to agree with your partner to quit simultaneously because that is more fair than choosing one of them, after all, why choose one to quit if quitting simultaneously can still be done and made an option? I don't think there is any reason to argue with this idea and suggestion.

None other than because the balance of family finances is a more important thing to pay attention to and maintain, moreover there are many responsibilities that must be prioritized as you said, a child really must be prioritized and paid attention to, not only that because there are still quite a lot of other needs that must be fulfilled such as electricity bills, water, monthly shopping, children's needs and school fees, and by both quitting gambling then obviously the financial balance will be better maintained. I understand it's not easy but there will always be a way if we want to try and have sincerity in our intentions.

A show of solidarity, right? Teaming up on financial tasks is usually preferable than going solo. Kids, bills, everything its a shared journey. Quitting gambling may seem like an easy way to balance family finances.

Please add some practicality. Are we talking about fun gambling? Responsible gaming can be a healthy break from the grind. Finding the balance between fun and duty is key. Set tough boundaries instead of quitting? Designate a small, affordable 'fun budget' for gaming.

Discipline and open communication between spouses are needed. What matters is how you include gambling into your lifestyle. It tests trust and understanding, preventing leisure from overshadowing obligations. So maybe the real win is learning balance, not quitting. You think?

Couples who both bet a lot need to talk about it and set clear limits so that they can balance their spending on family and gambling. Playing games shouldn't cost the family too much money. People who talk about how much time and money they spend on games will get along better and fight less. Both of you can gamble together, or you can choose your own time. This way, everyone can do what they want without skipping jobs around the house. Then everyone in the family can stay calm and figure out a way to make everything better. When kids are involved, this is very important.

Playing games wont really be that bad even if you both husband and wife do really been doing this as long it wont really be able to compromise your family budget then this is which is really that important. This is why it would really be that best that you should really be having those kind of self awareness neither both you and your wife about the things you've been doing.
Just like been said that on each family, there would really be those responsibilities on which we do really need up to handle it well specially on financial aspect because if we do miss
up on doing such thing then it would really be putting up such great effect and this is something that we do like to happen in our family.
If one of you do make out those realizations then it would be best that you should be telling your partner.
