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

[Rufsilf]

This are aging are not meant to be stressing themselves to get because they don't need that especially going to a betting shop to play bets. This does not make any sense to me, but I would not react when I see an elderly person  betting online because I know with that, safety is ensured and they would have to bet when that are interested to buy not everytime. Betting is for the young that still have the interest to earn and make extra money for themselves. Seeing old people betting is also something normal because no one knows there present condition and what would have led them to decide to gamble.

Going to a gambling house to place bets and get involved with gambling activities physically shouldn't be supported especially with the old as it's not only stressful but it looks very much absurd and doesn't really tell well of their reputation especially in places where gambling is despised and not considered noble.

Talking about the safety of older people with relation to gambling I think the concern should be much on their health, some of them get more emotional as they age and may not be able to cope with losses, it may take them into very emotional state such that some may fall to depression or get some hypertensive reaction when they are suffering a streaks of losses so it's better they avoid it at old age especially for those who easily get emotional at every slightest thing.

You make good sense and I completely agree with you., but then here are my few points concerning all you have said.

First, speaking on whether older folks should stop patronizing physical gambling outlets and casinos, most especially on place or jurisdictions where gambling is not considered as a noble thing or activities to engage oneself in,  I agree with this, but how about those who can't possibly operate a smart phone not to talk of a computer, not all of our old folks can easily navigate through the world of online gambling, and as long as its gambling we are talking about, as an old person, asking someone to help you deposit money into an online casino from your bank account is also absurd, and also puts you at a very high risk of falling into the hands of scammers, as even your own son can use the opportunity to scam you.
So, considering the above, I think patronizing a physical gambling outlet or casinos with physical cash in their hands is still much safer for our old folks.

And talking about their health and their vulnerability to health issues as a result of loses from gambling, you are also very right here, but I think it depends on how long the old person has been gambling, for those who have been gambling for a very long time, they probably have gotten used to it and the chances that such a person will collapse due to gambling loses is very slim.
The risk is very high with folks who started gambling in their old age.

Yeah, very true, and apart from what you said, it's possible that elderly adults might have fixed incomes and that gambling could put them in financial jeopardy. It goes without saying that gambling losses can have a bigger effect on a person's capacity to maintain their finances. Due to the mental decline that comes with aging, people may find it more difficult to make wise judgments and, as you mentioned, may be more vulnerable to scams.
 
Regarding their health, I believe that excessive gambling may have contributed to their social isolation because they spent more time in physical casinos or online casinos than they did participating in social activities. Knowing the connection between social isolation and a number of health issues, including depression. Furthermore, I worry that older people would sit for extended periods of time, which could negatively impact their physical health due to a lack of exercise.

It depends on how she gambles, because if she just gambles for fun without affecting her health or family, then let her enjoy it because your mother is too old now and she should have fun but if she is always frustrated and you could see long hours in that casino then that is another problem. This is a special case because for sure your mother has her problems on her own like she has nothing to do or have fun with so you as her child it is better to look after her, like bring her to your home so that she could take care of your child as that is her grandchild and etc. Just make her busy with something not gambling.

When both the parents in a family reach old age we should treat them well because they feel very lonely at this time and we must treat them in a friendly manner. Some families are treated in such a way that parents are forced to indulge in gambling addiction. A lot of times there is a tendency to be attracted to gambling out of loneliness, so if you grow old with your parents, you mustGood behavior must not be kept lonely. Parents must entertain them in their old age and always share happiness with them otherwise they will reach a stage where they start looking for new sources of happiness. Here gambling can be one of those sources for them.

Or simply old people are impulsive.  

We cant just afford on letting them see on wrecking up themselves on playing gambling even we do say that even if they are just playing for fun.
There would really be those times or moments that you would really be chasing up those losses, we know that women are really that emotional and having those kind of fragile personalities.
Im not really that looking down on them but being feminine doesnt really fit out that much in gambling space.

On the time that i would really be able to see my grandmother or mother on doing gambling then i would definitely be going against it and would
really be telling them about on having that kind of control and moderation. It might not sounds good for them but giving advises would really be that recommended.

[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.

In some cultures, it is impolite but if you're showing and doing that to your parents. It's a sign that you love her when you think she's doing the wrong thing.
There are many people that sees that as sign of care and love when you're plainly giving that advise to her when you think she's not on the right path.
But, if your culture tells that it is impolite then so be it and just let your mum gamble until she losses everything and becomes out of control.

[Doan9269]

Let's be realistic here, there are some certain things or behaviors that we will not be interested in seing someone close to us behaving not to talk of being in position of a mother to us, gambling is cool a d fine with everyone to play and have fun, but it will be more honourable if your elder mother do it within her privacy, and not to show the whole world she gambles openly, alot of people will talk bad about that, but if she can gamble and know that within herself, there's nothing bad in it than going public that she's a gambler.

[TheUltraElite]

Or simply old people are impulsive.  

They are indeed, and some diseases make them more prone to impulsiveness. In fact it has been seen that it is the group of population who are suffering from impulsiveness and attention deficit are the ones who are gambling more often and are more likely to get addicted to gambling than their peers.

It is indeed our job to prevent this and keep social media and internet accessible devices away from such people. If we do that we can stop disasters from happening and prevent loss of huge amounts of money.

Give them non-gambling based games to play with, something that kids love too.

Most adults look for attention from the people they love in life, and if they can't get it, they will divert their attention to other things, that's where their attachment to gambling and other activities comes in. One of our duties in life is to somehow look at our parents so that we can monitor what they are doing and if they are okay. It is better that we are open with our parents so that we know what they feel and we are aware of what they want to do. Usually when people get older, they often seek attention, become sensitive and feel sorry for themselves because they think that no one cares about them

Adults' want for attention and connection, especially from loved ones. I know this from experience: when my parents don't feel valued or involved, they turn to hobbies or gambling. Kind of like announcing, "Im here! Notice me!" individually.

I make it a priority to communicate with my parents. Its about sharing their lives, joys, and gambles, not just watching or asking. I think embracing their interests, even enjoyable gambling, deepens our closeness. Mutual respect and love are key.

Aging makes you sensitive, you're right. It exists! I regularly remind my pals to talk to their parents more. Amazing how a simple discussion can brighten their day. Why not gamble in good fun and within limits? Its another way to connect, laugh, and express concern. Right? Life's too short not to cherish these times.

Indeed, it's needed to give additional attention to avoid things like this to take place, when they have other things to do in life they will not focus themselves into gambling, maybe for fun it's okay but letting them to be involve and put lots of time inside gambling, that's something that will affect them both financially and emotionally.

Give them something that will lead them to divert the attention and if possible, take time and spend it with them find other things that they can enjoy with you.

It must be a humiliating thing for me because in my country gambling has been permanently declared a prohibited act and the parliament has passed a constitution making it an illegal act. Moreover, gambling is a forbidden act in my country's religion policy, especially for women to participate in gambling is more abominable and forbidden. Therefore, if my mother or grandmother participates in gambling in an area where women are completely prohibited from participating, it will certainly become a matter of shame and humiliation for me. I will never mentally accept this act in any way and I will not allow anyone in my family to participate in gambling.

Besides, what's wrong with reminding parents or other people that what they are doing is wrong, even though they are gambling with the aim of having fun, I think they can still do many other things that are more fun and don't have as much risk as gambling. Indeed, it may sound impolite to advise parents because maybe these parents will not accept being advised by those who are still much younger than them,  and maybe they will think that we are the ones giving them advice, so you know, but I can't hide it, I will probably do my best to my parents, and if my parents gamble I will warn them and advise them well.

What you say is correct because we are also like that,  it shows that we really love our mothers no one wants their parents to have mental problems or other health problems  because gambling can trigger them to experience many problems including their own health. who might be affected by the gambling they do.

If in your country, gambling is prohibited and no one is allowed to gamble, it will make our grandmother or mother who is caught gambling will be arrested and will make us embarrassed because of her actions. And before our mother or grandmother is arrested, we will take her home to save her from the authorities. We certainly don't want to see our mother or grandmother arrested by the authorities because that will affect them mentally. We also won't let our mothers or grandmothers still gamble in casinos even though our country allows gambling because, after all, they are old, and they should do other things that can give them pleasure.

[Lorence.xD]

Is she still doing well? like being accountable of losses? As long as it is her money she is using then  won't mind. I would consider her looking for something to lessen her boredom given that she's old already. Nothing's too much will be advisable of course so if she still handle her gambling habits properly, I won't be against it. People who would do so are just worried of what is happening to people who abuse gambling even if the people they don't want playing, is just doing fine. That's early and bad judgement if I would be asked. I myself knows the danger in gambling but will never support stereotype in this activity that I enjoy, maybe not always, but won't change the fact that there are days I do.

Indeed something to consider; if the laws will allow them to do so. If my grandmother happened to be in a country wherein there's high restriction of gambling activities then obviously I won't and will just rather suggest mobile games which are representing gambling instead or associated with it. There's also this idea of mine to play with her; just between the two of us or between family members such as if it is card games then fine. It will all fall on the idea that they want to be entertained on their years of being 'old' and I doubt it will still be money-driven just as with the youth.

No one wants their parents to become bankrupt from gambling. Not all gambling is bad. Controlling and knowing limitations. We must teach our parents and others about responsible gambling

It's not enough to stop them; you must guide them. In moderation, gambling may be fun like anything else. Problems come when it crosses the line. We must speak reason, not just opposition. Remember, our parents are grownups. They've always chosen. Our role? To ensure educated decisions immediately

Remember: caring, not contempt. They may resist, but we must persist for their health and well-being. We must strike this careful balance

[EarnOnVictor]

Let's be realistic here, there are some certain things or behaviors that we will not be interested in seing someone close to us behaving not to talk of being in position of a mother to us, gambling is cool a d fine with everyone to play and have fun, but it will be more honourable if your elder mother do it within her privacy, and not to show the whole world she gambles openly, alot of people will talk bad about that, but if she can gamble and know that within herself, there's nothing bad in it than going public that she's a gambler.

You have a good point here, but still, I would like to expatiate on that. In some environments, gambling is a normal activity, and old, young, rich, poor, literate and illiterate are engaging in it. In this clime, if someone's mum is gambling, the person will not even feel it and it is not dishonourable as that is their way of life even that might be what the person grew up to know. The mother at times could also send the children to do it for her, so it might not be a big deal in that clime. But in other environments, this might be so ugly, to say the least, and this is not even possible for some women to go out to gamble themselves, they would rather have their gambling app and do it in their privacy or send someone to do the gambling for them. In this kind of environment, anyone will not be happy to see their mum gambling, it will be so disgraceful.

This doesn't matter whether she does it for the money or fun as many have said on this thread, what is disgraceful can't be substituted, it has to be avoided to avoid issues. Also at times, some people might be desperate and might want to disregard the disgrace that comes from it, this is why I will not want to judge the woman in the OP outrightly. What if it's because of her child's medication expenses that she turned to gambling maybe it can multiply the money she has when financial help is not coming from anywhere, or even worse situation?

Remember: caring, not contempt. They may resist, but we must persist for their health and well-being. We must strike this careful balance

In my opinion, gambling is not bad if we know the limits of gambling and have a sense of responsibility, but in reality there are more people who gamble without limits, and even though there are people who gamble with limits, that doesn't mean they will remain safe, because in my opinion Maybe there will be occasional moments that make them annoyed or trigger their emotions and anger to rise. It's true that gambling isn't dangerous if it's accompanied by a sense of responsibility, but there's nothing wrong with just anticipating it.

That's what they're afraid of happening, they could gamble beyond reasonable limits, which will clearly harm them and possibly harm other family members. Someone who is an adult certainly has their own thoughts and choices and thinks that what they are doing is right, but if they think that gambling is a normal thing then at least if they don't stop it then just advise them to stay within reasonable limits, don't let them do it. gambling that exceeds reasonable limits because it will be a problem that triggers the destruction of the family, I myself do not want to have a biological mother who is addicted to gambling. because in my opinion it will slowly damage their mental and thinking, and in other words, prevention is better than cure.

[JMBitcointernational]

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.

source

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.

Op this is actually something To worry about , because seeing My ageing Mother in a betting shop looks very embarrassing considering her age , And again what will people Say of the Family that My Mother is a regular customer in a betting shop . Gambling is nice If regulated very well . If i see My Mum gambling wirh some traditional gambling methods like Ludo i will be happy because i know she does it for fun And By So doing it will relieve her from mental stress And Depression But im other seeing her in a betting shop trying To place bet looks very Absurd And something serious To worry about .

Being addicted in gambling till old age is more or less a serious problem because there is no way To stop it until death , ladies are supposed To gamble And not To be  much addicted till old age . Verily speaking i will not be happy with My Elderly Mother If i should see her in a betting shop , because it is not only a disregard To the Family But a big insult To the Family as a whole . However i will do anything To keep her away from betting shops .

[Samlucky O]

Lastly, will you feel comfortable or worried knowing that your mother is a dedicated gambler;

I would not feel comfortable. Because in the society women holds a high prestige of caretaker of the family. They play a role of a good leadership of taking care of their husband, children also play a vital role in taken responsibility of the entire family in all ramifications. So women are the back bone if the family. Seing them gambling is like we have lose them to the faith of addiction. What would be the fate of the family when the caretaker of the family has lost it value due to gambling  addiction?

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.

I may feel worried because the older people become the higher chance Of having a higher blood pressure (HBP). meaning frequent lose may affect her health condition and she may collapse one day and die because of HBP.

[Dewi Aries]

Honestly, I think that overall all children will definitely not feel comfortable when their parents, especially their mothers, are involved in gambling, even if for example they only make gambling as an activity to fill their spare time and seek pleasure but still, no matter what your approach is, the potential for bad possibilities will always be a possibility, on the other hand, I do not wish your parents to become addicted gamblers but I only see from the concept of gambling that whoever you are and no matter how good your approach to gambling is, the change towards impulsive gambling will always be a possibility.

This is because as we all know gambling has many temptations that are sometimes very difficult to ignore especially when you lose consciousness, even though they can be considered as someone who is mature enough to be able to think carefully but still the bad possibilities will continue to lurk, and one thing that worries me in this situation which I think we would all agree is that we certainly don't want to see our parents spend their old age with many problems and pressures caused by gambling.

I feels that too because in society can easily judge that someone is bad because of what he/she doing. If our society knows that our mother playing gambling, we can't accepts what our society will say. Maybe they will gives a bad name to our mother and even all of our family members and that can ruins our relationships between our society. Mother are the back bone in the family who take cares of their children and if our mother addicted to gambling, we can't imagine what will happens to our family. Maybe our family members will also playing gambling and that will ruins the family relationships. It's our jobs to helps our family who gets addicted to gambling to cure themselves so they can realizes that they doing wrong for their family. We must gives attentions to them so they can gets out from gambling immediately.
