Will you be worried or comfortable seeing your elderly mother gambling?

[danherbias07]

I would totally freak out, if my mother starts gambling. I would do everything I can to try to stop her from betting money on sports or in a casino.
Many elderly women are buying lottery tickets in my country, but lottery isn't serious gambling. I also know that Bingo games are a thing in the western countries like the UK. Bingo isn't popular in my country at all and I don't consider it to be a hardcore gambling game.
I don't know who the hell on earth would be comfortable seeing his mother in a casino or sports betting shop?
Your question seems kinda pointless to me.

Bingo oh yes. I think most women do like those games because it consumes a lot of time. My wife also loves that game and whenever we see a bingo game in the mall or even outside we do stop and I let her play. I think if I see my mother or grandma playing Bingo I would just let them do so. There's a high probability they can win that game rather than playing the lotto.

I would be worried if my mother was in a position like that, in my country it is very rare to see a young or old woman gambling online or offline, if she were my mother I would advise her to stop immediately because it is very embarrassing

If it's online gambling, I don't think you need to be embarrassed about it. I mean I have been gambling online and not many in my neighbor know about it. They just think I am a work-from-home employee but they don't know that I also gamble in my spare time. Also, if our mothers are gambling outside then maybe they are lacking something to do at home. Maybe it is our fault that they went out and gambled because we cannot provide the necessary things to keep them at home and be entertained.
It's the boring times that people start to think about something they can do and old people could bump into gambling especially if they have friends that do the same or they are encouraged by someone so that they can be entertained. IMO, I will let it slide as long as she can keep control of it.

It depends on the situation.  If she has the money and enjoys gambling and it doesn't affect her daily life than more power to her.  There are a lot of people who can gamble recreationally and use it as a form of entertainment or even as a form of competition.  All good unless it alters her life negatively somehow.

I agree.

It's her money to take care of and if she's enjoying, I'll her do her own thing but I'll just give her some reminders that she shouldn't do it to the point that everything she is going to be put on stake.

She just take it as simple as enjoyment but she needs to be fully aware that it can wipe her things and money out so, that's it. She can entertain herself with that but still needs to be careful.

There isn't much grandchildren can do anyway regards the gambling activity of their grandmothers. An elder is an adult responsible for his own acts, have lived much longer than grandchildren, therefore there is a natural belief of being wiser and more experienced, besides having their own source of income. Why would they listen to orders coming from children? If you put yourself on their shoes you will understand it. We don't like to be ordered by younger people than us and people who we consider to be less experienced, and it seems as we get older, this feeling just gets stronger.

I believe the only thing grandchildren can do, which may work, is to appeal emotionally to their grandmothers that they stop. This kind of approach can sensibilize the elders, although it's not likely to have long term impacts...

There is also a point, in general, basically advising older people is not polite even though it leads to something better and is indeed recommended as a whole, you said that adults or those who are old enough have a good mindset and responsibility about whatever they do, I agree with that and indeed they should really have a good maturity in terms of mindset and responsibility, but aren't they also not always perfect in terms of behavior and mindset? You said it only as a whole and did not see it from various sides, we are human beings who are never free from mistakes, therefore there is nothing wrong if we support a grandson who tries to advise his grandmother if it is for the sake of goodness, it does not matter to put aside politeness first because precautions for safety must be taken early before it is too late.

Although on the other hand someone who is already an adult will usually not care much about the things said by someone who is far below them because of several factors such as what you said about them lacking in experience but I think at least this will have the potential to be quite influential, at least the elderly will feel embarrassed because of being advised and after that there is a possibility for them to take the time to think about whether what they are doing is wrong or not. So the point is that whoever is advising them I don't think it should be a problem even if it's a little unlikely, at least maybe it will help the elderly to achieve awareness.

A woman (elderly) was spotted in a gambling shop seriously making predictions on virtual gaming and with the way she plays it appears that she has been gambling for a long time now. But what really caught people's attention after spending much time gambling for that day  was her reaction which expresses frustration and disappointment from someone that must have lost a pool of cash to unfavourable gambling prediction's for the day. The image below says it all.

This specific image led some Nigerians to ponder why an elderly woman would engage in betting. Questions arose, with some wondering whether the woman aimed to elevate her blood pressure or if she had used shared contributions for virtual betting.

There are places where it's  normal and a regular thing seeing elderly women gambling in a gamble shop but in this part of the world it is uncommon and for that it seems weird seeing such an elderly woman seriously gambling and that's why many persons are pondering about her engagement in betting.

However, I want to know as forum members from different parts of the world your thought's towards this based on your environmental perspective towards gambling irrespective of whosoever is involved be it young or elderly in as much as the individual is of gambling age.

Lastly, will you feel comfortable or worried knowing that your mother is a dedicated gambler; and if you feel worried are you worried that she may be losing a pool of cash or your worried because you fear for her health as gamblers can get negative emotions when losing money.

Women engaging in gambling is very common in my environment and the result so far that I have seen has worsen there situation in life. I know of two women in my street who engaged in gambling (lotto) predicting of numbers, one owns a very big private school at first she won a huge amount that everyone heard about her winning which encouraged her to gamble mor and stake higher but as speak now nothing to write about this woman she no win again the worst part her private school that was running smoothly has crumbled. I will never feel comfortable seeing my mother gambling.

Sometimes, the younger sees the better part that the older can't see it themselves. Having some reminder won't hurt them unless they're going to take it personally.

I know that it's hard to accept when a younger person tries to give you some reminder as if they know what you've gone through. It's normal, it's okay not to listen to them but just accept the care and the thought that should count for those words that might be reminded by the younger grandchildren or son/daughter.

Are you suggesting, then, that you don't want advice from younger people since older people have more life experience? Despite the fact that your behavior abruptly changes to reflect how your children perceive you, your actions and gambling habit persist.
 
It's not that all older people don't want to hear from their kids, but there are some older than you who don't seem to have the right mindset. That is to say, there are some elderly people who still struggle with making decisions that are best for themselves, their families, and their kids. It's worse for parents who rely solely on their grown-up children, who are employed; in such cases, their desire is to treat themselves, even if it means asking their child for money to support their gambling habit. In what way do you think your kids would fall? Of course, they will be disappointed and will talk to you, remind you, or advise you that you can play but don't go overboard because, naturally, your kids will also believe that their money was wasted and was only used to gamble. When our parents grew older and the kids wanted to give them money, we naturally wanted them to use it to meet friends or maybe join fitness centers to improve their health rather than become dependent on gambling, which may have been the reason they lost the game and ended up losing their lives.

[Mr.suevie]

If am a grandchild and I see my grandmother gambling ofcourse I will be worried especially when she had gone so far to do it publicly at the gaming house because I believe there are some certain attitude that someone is supposed to outgrowth and playing gambling publicly in the shop where people are filled is one of them and I would even be more mad if I find out she does it regularly.

[terrific]

Yes, we might be the child but we can also function as their guide when they're doing something wrong and that's why it is important to check them at all times.
While when we're young, we are their responsibility. Now, we are going to take care of them and they are going to be our responsibility.

Yes although advising parents is basically impolite if we are a child, but I think it doesn't matter if we direct them to a better path or path, because after all we definitely don't want to see our beloved parents sink into the bad effects of their gambling involvement and maybe you can advise or tell them in a very good way and also by giving some very reasonable explanations about the concept of gambling along with the bad things that have the potential to happen and experience in their further involvement if they cannot stop from now on.

Of course in any case prevention must be prioritized to minimize things that are not wanted and also for the sake of a financial balance, I am sure if you succeed in persuading your parents to stop then if it succeeds then your family will have a pretty good and balanced finances because obviously the allocation of money for things that do not need to be done they have avoided, or that means they can stop from gambling activities.

I don't find it impolite when your parent seems to be doing the wrong thing. We're also their flesh but I think in some cultures, I understand if it looks like an impolite thing.
But with that, you need to direct their paths correctly and if it's going to spend a lot of money and you just watching your mom lose entirely, won't you make a move to remind her?
If it is in the culture that it is impolite to parents, there are always some exception to the rules and beliefs. And if it's for the greater good of your parent, no person will correct her but her only blood and flesh.

Such actions are very correct by preventing the badness of gambling addiction, but it is also necessary to understand why your grandmother or grandfather did this. it could be because of the past that always played gambling, making him miss the atmosphere like before.
Communication is a great middle ground between your grandchildren and grandmother.

[o48o]

I would be concerned as she usually doesn't gamble at all. So i would ask the reason for change. But in generally i wouldn't mind as it's her money to do as she wish.

However seeing old people (men and women) front of slot machines was a common sigh in here years ago, that was before regulations change tighter. Now in at least in finland, amount of people gambling, in the first time of history has dropped radically. Even shops are just removing their slot machines as they take space

Corona, mandatory kyc and spending limits affected a lot as people moved online to play and apparently never moved back to physical slot machines fully. And if they remove physical cash, i am guessing people mostly stop playing them at all. So in short: No one would see her gambling as she would do that in home, with a phone. And to older people it's not the same as gambling, like a bingo was more like a gathering socializing and one reason to stay outside.

Perhaps a grandchild could ask why their grandmother is gambling because, seeing as their age, they are no longer fit to gamble, especially since it could cause problems to their health when they are not ready to look after their health. What needs to be done is to stay with him if his grandmother wants to place a bet, and if necessary, his grandson can help place the bet and make sure that his grandmother is okay while he places the bet or while his grandmother is at the casino. Maybe it wouldn't be comfortable for his grandmother, but his grandson just wanted to make sure that his grandmother was okay at the casino and didn't experience anything bad that could cause her health to suffer. And after they finished placing their bets, they could go home together and forget what they had done.

No child wants their mother to gamble, let alone a grandchild who wants to see their grandmother gamble, whoever it is, your mother or elderly grandmother, should enjoy their old age at home with their family or playing with their grandchildren or children, I'm sure not everyone wants part of their family to leave. going to a gambling house just to buy a lottery ticket and hope for a big win there can become a habit that is difficult to stop.

I will also do the same thing as you, banning them is the most correct way and trying to find money to give a little to our grandmother or mother, at least she can get money from her children or grandchildren so she doesn't hope to survive by playing the lottery in gambling houses , it can't really be used as a permanent income, because the lottery is based on luck and luck will never come every day, it's not easy to win the lottery.

When we see a bad habit, we should never let it go, because stopping it is the most correct way no matter what, stop it before it's too late, especially if it becomes a habit that makes someone addicted to gambling.

But if gambling is detrimental to their health, are we going to just keep quiet watching the behavior of our parents who are gambling and risking their money to make a profit? Indeed, some parents don't really think about what their children say and seem indifferent because they feel they are more experienced and wiser, they feel He was right with his actions so he continued gambling even though he had to spend a lot of money. Actually, a child doesn't have a problem if their parents gamble as long as it's for fun and not too much. But a child think about their parents' health condition and worry that it will cause their blood pressure to rise because the elderly are more susceptible to congenital diseases like that.

Yes, the only way is to persuade him, not scold him or tell him to stop because parents don't like being told to, with a good approach and gentle words, I'm sure parents can understand the words of their children who care about them, especially caring about their health.

[EarnOnVictor]

Should we call this the hunger for money or an addiction? Well, let's not be in a rush to judge anyone, and the way I see this woman, she is not so bad in the looking, she might not be so desperate about the money or playing because she is that poor (just trying not to judge). Many things could cause her to bet and it is only when we ask her that we can learn the truth about what happened. This is not common in my environment, but in the local and poor environment, it is very common.

Why didn't you ask her that time due to curiosity?...lol Besides, I can still mention more than 20 reasons why people could be gambling, her case might be one or multiple of them and it is not so good to be judgemental whether the person is our relative or not, even the children could be supportive of it as the case may be. I pray we do not have any reason to be desperate about anything. People are facing a lot when it comes to finances, and this could drag them into gambling with the belief that they can get what they need from it. But it is the opposite that often happens when it comes to their betting outcomes, it is risky and highly uncertain, so we should be careful. But to some, it could be that she is used to it as gambling is popular in some climes, it is no big deal to them.

You may still find out though.

It's best to have a conversation with the elderly woman and inquire about her experience with gambling. Engage in a meaningful dialogue and provide support so that she can enjoy herself, despite her old age. However, it's still important to set limits on her gambling activities and not allow her to gamble excessively. At their age, they are capable of making their own decisions, hence it's crucial to guide and support them, but not to control their choices.

Well yeah this happened most of the time when they missed gambling and they will one day make a comeback from that gap during their 30's-40's days when they have no spare time to spend on gambling because of their job or whatsoever. And yeah communication really will help.

Everyone is fit to gamble in my opinion, as long as you have the money and knows the rule of the game, then definitely you can gamble. So there is no such age limit, be it our mother or grand mother or some elderly women, they are going to play.

Yes, just like the other day, she is not that old though, but she says like he lost half a million already, she looks like she is what we call balikbayan and she is staying with the hotel. Perhaps in her 60's-70's. And maybe I'm thinking that he should have work very hard abroad for many years and then save enough money for her and her families that she can afford to lose that big money in that casino and continues to play.

When we see a bad habit, we should never let it go, because stopping it is the most correct way no matter what, stop it before it's too late, especially if it becomes a habit that makes someone addicted to gambling.

Gambling makes us worry about our elders, which is normal. I think there's a flip side. Gambling need not be destructive or addictive. Grandma can enjoy the thrill of chance with a little harmless fun.

Consider: if done appropriately, may gambling not give the elderly some thrill in their regular days? Many people can play bingo or buy lottery tickets without becoming addicted. Its moderation, right? When it comes to kids, how do they discern dangerous habits from innocuous ones?

Addiction is a significant issue, though. Perhaps the solution goes beyond outlawing or giving financial alternatives. Should we also teach kids and adults about responsible gambling? Making informed decisions and understanding when pleasure becomes serious is key.

In my opinion, if they keep quiet about it, it's very wrong, because basically we don't want our parents to experience loss of health, because in my opinion, with those who may be old, it should be time for them to enjoy their old age well, and enjoy their old age by gambling. I don't think that's a good thing, even if they have a lot of money. and worrying about their parents' health is normal, because if there are children who don't worry about their parents,  I think that child is a child who is not filial to their parents, because they just ignore what they are doing and it is detrimental to their health.

I agree with what you say, however we must be able to lead our parents to good things, also by treating them well because we should be able to take care of our parents so if they do something that is detrimental to their health, it must be prevented because it is also for their own good.

It is best to talk to the elderly woman and ask about her gambling experiences. Engage in meaningful dialogue and provide support so he can enjoy his life despite his age. However, it is still important to limit his gambling activities and not allow him to gamble excessively. At their age, they can already make their own decisions. Therefore, guiding and supporting them is very important, but not controlling their choices.

That is why there are people who invite women to discuss or chat about the reasons for gambling. And if the grandmother wants to have fun, these people can advise her to do something that doesn't require a lot of money, and the grandmother can also get pleasure. People around the grandmother can continue to accompany the grandmother or those people can contact the grandmother's closest relatives to take her home.
