Does having children have an influence on gambling habits?

[FanEagle]

Still for some it is tough and it will be difficult for them to balance both eventually leading to dysfunctional families.

Surely taking care of a family is not an easy task and with a larger home, it becomes more difficult to do so you just have to cut down from gambling expenses. Moreover, gambling itself is not really profitable for total average of gamblers so most likely family people also lose their bet too .

It could lead to break in homes which will take more resources, time and apologies to come back especially if you have a wife who has warned the husband off it and he refused, she might take a drastic decision to leave the home and that will definitely affect the man or the children whose growing up will be full of pain and lack of parental control of either the father or mother depending on whose arm they eventually grew in.

That's true, it should not be all that easy, we should probably consider that having a big family needs to take a first priority when we are talking about something like that. If you plan on having a family like that then you should not worry about anything else.

I hope that we could see something changing, like you get so rich that you can take care of your entire family AND still end up being able to actually gamble as well. That could still happen, like imagine a person who makes a million dollars a year, that dude could gamble 10k dollars a year and still take care of his family without a doubt, that's the important part. So, either you need to be only responsible for yourself, or you need to earn enough to take care of your family and still have enough leftover to gamble.

When you have one or more children, you have heavy responsibilities. Sometimes you're on a tight budget. Can being a parent change our playing habits? Are losses even harder to bear when you're in charge of a family? What are your experiences in this area?

Being a parent who knows you have responsibilities should not influence your gambling habit; rather, what it should make the person do is reschedule their hustle and look for means for their earnings to increase, not for them to start making more gambling.
 
Gambling is not a means to make money, as it should never be considered a source of income, but rather a means to pass time and possibly make some little winnings and profit.

Instead of just focusing on making more gambling, the person should even reduce their gambling habit and the amount of time they spend gambling.

It belongs to responsible generations, just thinking about having another member as well as the care process, it is enough to show how busy and until the child is born, our time will belong to the child, we cannot hide and go out at our convenience like in the past, gambling habits must disappear until the child becomes an adult and just thinking like that, the gambler no longer has a concept of continuing on this path. However, in some unwanted cases, the child becomes a burden for the gambler and it is also one of the few causes of divorce for a family.

However, in some unwanted cases, the child becomes a burden for the gambler and it is also one of the few causes of divorce for a family.

Every parent definitely has a responsibility towards their child, no exception for parents who like to gamble. Maybe that could be a way for gamblers to reduce their activities because there are more important things they have to do than just gambling. It is even possible that the demands of parental responsibility could actually eliminate their gambling habits.

However that only applies to parents who see responsibility in that perspective because for those who cannot understand their role and status as parents, the presence of children in their lives will not change what has become their habit, or even they will deliberately ignore that responsibility to not interfere with their gambling hobby.

We should not be selfish and be the only family member who enjoy gambling, that is why we should introduce it to kids I am joking

People here have strange vision on life. When children appear, then we must dedicate every single second, every single cent to the kid. Dont you think that it is way to much? For example I spend a lot of time with my family and specially with the kid. There was never "I am busy" for the kid from me. Family isnt starving. We are all well dressed. We travel a lot. We arent in need of money. So why should I then drop all my hobbies and activities? For me it seems, that many think, when kid is busy doing something on his own, parents must either work, or stand will and wait when the kid has free time. So that they can immediately do something together.

Of course my without that rare gambling habit has changed. I will never go all-in with my or family entire savings. But I would not do the same even without having a child.

Your joke is good, friend.
"The family didn't starve. We all dressed nicely. We traveled a lot. We didn't need money."
Are you sure about this friend? I think that to do or fulfill all of that we have to use money, so that the family doesn't starve, we have to buy food or basic necessities which are the main need for survival, and to be able to wear nice clothes, I also think that requires money because it doesn't matter. maybe we make it ourselves, even if we make it ourselves we have to use capital. and to travel anyway, I think you need money for supplies, or preparation.
It's true that it's impossible for parents to watch their children all day long, because they also have to work to make money. isn't that right, friend?
If you already have children, it is better for us to limit our gambling activities if we really like gambling. Don't let your family become neglected because we only think about our habits, which is not the right behavior. we have to pay attention to our family, and don't gamble if you don't have money.

I assume for responsible gamblers, having children could cause them to gamble less because they can’t afford to gamble like they used to. It all depends on personal circumstances though, if you earn a lot you may be able to continue gambling as you did previously.

The whole of the discussion is on the financial capacity of the gambler I think with your angle too because at the end of the day it is about the money that is used in gambling. If a gambler who has got some financial capacity, he can continue in his gambling habit whether the man is married or not. There are married men who buy two cars at same time while others can't afford one and at same time he maintains the two and changes into new cars if he wish. So likewise in gambling, it depends on the financial capacity of the husband that is what matters.

Degenerate gamblers who have a problem might not be able to change habits despite having more responsibilities with a dependent.

Those are categories of gambling addicts who have lost touch of their mental capacity

Strong finances can make it easier for you to continue your gambling habit and also be a responsible parent. Here finances play an important role, as parents who are responsible for their children and their families must be able to look after their finances well in order to prevent problems from occurring in the future.

It doesn't matter if you continue your gambling habit as long as you have enough responsibility for your children and wife. If I were in a position where my finances were tight, I would try to sacrifice my habit for a while to be a responsible parent. The desire to gamble can still be postponed until you have sufficient finances, but the family's primary needs cannot be postponed, such as daily expenses for kitchen needs, children's school needs and other unexpected needs.

Yes there are losses that's hard to bear when you have a family as you'll regret making the bet as you know that you have lost a huge money that could have being used to handle some bills in the family. Having a family makes you very responsible as you now have kids and if you were an irresponsible gambler, you'll begin to find it difficulty to play as you'll be losing money but you don't want to lose money that can be used to do something for your family to have a better life.

If you're already a responsible gambler and you're gambling with only your spare money, you wouldn't find it hard to continue gambling when you have a family. You'll only have to reduced your gambling capital by reducing the amount of your spare money that you use in gambling. Having a family makes you more responsible therefore it'll help you more to watch how you're spending your money.

In fact, it's not all that clear-cut. There are some gamblers who did not become wiser or more responsible after children appeared in their family. There are quite a few stories when the head of the family, addicted to gambling, left his children, who can not take care of themselves, alone at home, and disappeared into the casino for several hours.  Therefore, having children makes someone wiser and more responsible, and someone does not, and rather everything depends on the person himself, not on the fact of having children in the family.

Yes it's not easy to have children and you have low or no source of income, you might be looking for where you can be getting money, even if it's through betting but it's your partner know of your betting behaviours? It's essential to be honest and open about your gambling habits, especially if they're harming your financial circumstances. If you're having trouble controlling your gambling, you should get treatment from a psychotherapist or gambling counsellor. They may provide you support and direction as you make better choices. If you're having trouble finding balance in your life, talk to a therapist or counsellor about your stress and how to handle it better. Finally, taking care of yourself and striking a healthy balance are critical to being a good parent and making sound judgments. When you're worried and weary, dealing with gambling losses can be much more difficult.

Yes that's right, however depending on how the person is or I mean it all depends on the personality of the person, the situation can be as you said that it is a possibility that after having children or after having a family someone still does not care about something that should be their responsibility and some are normal in the sense that they become more responsible and all of this depends on how the personality is and also how severe the level of their involvement in gambling is.

I think you may have seen or read elsewhere about a father who left his toddler at home alone to go to a casino to gamble, and clearly this is behavior and actions that reflect that he is a family man who is so irresponsible that he would risk the life of his own child just to gamble.

Not all people would really be that responsible in regarding about their actions on which there would really be still those people who would really be sticking into their principles or ideas in mind despite on having
their own family on which it would really be that a common approach that they would really be that sticking on playing gambling or something that they've been getting used to despite on having that new
responsibilities in life. Gambling or putting up focus into that despite on having a family? You are really that just basically putting up your family into such issues when it comes to finances.

We do know that when it comes to gambling then you are really that spending tons of money on which if you do have a family then this is something much needed when it comes to budgeting.
If you are a parent but ended up on cutting those expenses just because you are playing gambling and your family doesnt have that proper way of living when it comes to clothes, food
and other basic needs then you are just that showing on how irrresponsible you are.

I'm flabbergasted with this question but on a second thought, I remembered that a lot of people gamble to make money and not the love, fun and entertainment they all claim to be and that's the majority don't enjoy gambling, that's why the majority don't make profit, why majority don't make profits and gamblers are depressed as result of addiction from gambling, so before I go on the children part, learn to gamble because you want to and not because you are looking for money to pay bills or take care of some responsibility.

Here is my advice for you, before you marry, make sure you have a good source of income to properly take care r your family and the rest will be easy to for you. If you are a moderate gambler, you will not have any issue bearing the burden of loss in gambling unless you use the family savings to go and gamble that's when I think you will think hard and might lose your cool.

Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is that those who have children become more responsible. But sometimes I saw that even with children, some behave as irresponsibly as this, I don’t understand this. Even on the form there was a theme of how the father played the game and placed bets while very young children were left to their own devices and it could end badly because they are not yet independent.

As for me personally, I don’t know if I continued to play gambling at all, but I think that I would focus on raising children. In general, I think the excitement should fade a little in any case, because we cannot afford huge losses, because our children simply will not have anything to feed, and this cannot be allowed.

I've read that news as well and that's just a sad story because gambling really changes people whether he's a family person or not.

So, as for the topic about if gambling changes or influences a gambler. Yes, it's true but it's not just always for the better.

And based from that news that we've read, it can also change a person negatively and doesn't know what to prioritize if he's itching to gamble wherein he can just stay at home and gamble online.

There is a thread about it here on the forum and gambling really has an impact on a person, we can't say if it is a positive or negative impact but based on what is being read and reported today, it seems that the majority is changing for the worst, because there are many sensible people People who have been engaged in gambling have changed a lot in their actions and behavior. It's just sad because there are other incidents where parents can afford to neglect their children in exchange for gambling.

With gambling habits it can affect anyone including our children, we may be able to avoid this such as not gambling in front of children or prioritizing others even if you yourself are relaxing.

I have always had a habit of gambling but it has not delayed other work so the severe negatives are not so obvious, so now I am still trying how this gambling does not have a worse impact on others.

While there is free time, you can play gambling, while if there is no time, you will choose something else.

Responsibility means many things but in gambling definitely sense of responsibility plays an important role in gambling especially when a gambler participates in gambling from a sense of responsibility he must always have a mental pressure and target. If a gambler has more than one child, his sense of responsibility must be high. And if the sense of responsibility is high, of course it is normal before the influence of gambling. However, people should not participate in gambling due to stress or busyness, drunkenness or mental disorder because these factors make a gambler suffer more losses than gains.

Let's just say, it should make you change your mind and approach to life. Unless you have a special skill and can show a profitable return in your area of gambling year after year, then chances are you're losing money. There was a study done, probably out of date now and more expensive, that showed raising children can easily cost a quarter of a million each. That's a lot of money you have to devote to raising them on average, which leaves less room for this form of entertainment. You should also want to encourage the best habits in your children as well, so as they grow up make sure they are not exposed to gambling because it can effect everyone differently and you never know if they'd get addicted to it.

I think this was actually a recommended for a known addict in my work place after when we had some good talks about his gambling addiction and how he was able to get rid of it because he was showing signs that he has cut down on his addiction and started showing rooms for improvement and it made me wonder and one thing led to another and he told me that a therapist actually prescribed for him to get himself some responsibilities to carry that it would be good because he will see the world from a different angle.

I think that such a step as starting a family can change a person’s life. I mean a person who has problems with gambling addiction or some other addiction. When I had big problems with drugs, God helped me and freed me from it. I also know who were unable to change their lives for the better after starting a family and even having children. I think everything here is individual and depends on the person. In any case, when a person has a family and children, he is no longer responsible only for himself and such bad habits as gambling should be eliminated, especially when a person cannot control himself and regularly loses all his money on bets or in casinos. I also think that the future spouse should be aware of his partner's gambling addiction or past gambling addiction if the person is done with it and no longer does such things.
