Does having children have an influence on gambling habits?

[Awaklara]

A lot of things come into play ones one has begun having children and many times new habits get to be reinforced inorder to be better examples.
I think having children influences ones gambling habit, because it would make such a parent become responsible thinking that the same bad habit of gambling can be copied and learned by the children without even trying so hard to do so.

If parents must gamble, it would have to be covert and mostly online or on weekends when the kids are not close by. Still I is going to be more expensive to be a regular gambler and take care of a young growing family.

Indeed, it would be better for us to hide our gambling activities from children. Even though nowadays we are accessing more online casinos, we still have to be careful when opening gambling sites while at home. especially if the devices we use are also used by children. especially for children who are teenagers. Their perception about gambling may already be there, but their curiosity is very high. Apart from hiding it, we as parents also have to give a proper explanation to our children. it's just to avoid misunderstandings regarding gambling.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

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?

               -   Maybe that depends on the one who brings the family together as the head of the family. If he likes to gamble, gambling can be his last resort when he needs quick money,
even though he knows he is not sure what he is thinking.

Such methods are not good, and it is too tempting for a person who likes gambling, to be honest. So as much as possible, don't do it, or just avoid it as much as you can.

[zuzie]

Yes, indeed as parents of course have a responsibility towards their children and they must be able to look after their children and also their wives to avoid things they don't want, if someone has a habit of gambling before they get married of course they must be able to control it. their gambling habits after building their family because if they still have the desire to gamble of course they will have financial problems in their family.

And a little extra, friend, it is true that if you have become a husband or father, he should maintain the integrity of his household so that it is harmonious by looking after and being responsible for the physical and spiritual needs of the family. with the thought that if he still wanted to gamble, that would be the impact. It's not just him who feels it, but his children and wife also feel it and the impact of the risks of gambling really disrupts family relationships to the point of making them fall apart.

It is true that as leaders in the family they should look after their family so that their family's needs can be met and if they still have the desire to gamble, of course it will be very difficult for them to be able to fulfill their needs and of course if this continues then family relationships will end.

Of course, my friend, a leader must have a wise and responsible attitude in his own family with the aim of maintaining the integrity of his household from the many big problems in the family.
However, currently there are still many husbands who are still actively gambling after marriage because there are many factors that support and attract attention to getting involved, such as environmental factors, perhaps husbands have seen and heard experiences from close friends that gambling can make money. additional income for life. Therefore, the husband tried to follow in his friend's footsteps with the aim of increasing his income for his family's needs.

Someone who is said to be a leader is of course supposed to be wise in everything, especially in making choices for their own good. including their own family relationships, of course they have to do their best so that their family relationships can continue well, lest they make actions or choices that pose a big risk to themselves or their family relationships. Random choices or random actions can cause problems for family relationships. There have been many cases of families having problems because of unwise actions or choices.

If it can still be controlled well, maybe it's not a problem, such as being able to limit their budget for gambling or their time for gambling, unless they gamble excessively or are more concerned with their gambling habits than their family relationships, then that's just a problem. Even though their goal is to get additional income, it won't happen smoothly, because they will only experience defeat which will result in them losing money.

That gaming is a shortcut to financial security? It's total bull****. A destructive trap. Gambling harms your family's health as well as your finances. Leadership is about being loyal and someone your family can count on, not about making quick money

Gambling is against the system, not a random guy. System is meant to take money. Sometimes you win and feel good. It's rigged, so the longer you play, the more you lose. Not only the money, but also the trust you breach, the stress you inflict on your relationship, and the disappointment your kids see in your eyes

thinking like that is wrong thinking, it is impossible for gambling to be a way to make money or to help with financial problems. There is no definite guarantee of victory that can be obtained by gambling, even though gambling is said to require skill to win, in my opinion it does not guarantee the same. all gambling the same has a greater chance of winning for the host, and for ordinary gamblers only has a small chance of winning.
Indeed, if gambling is done for a long time it is not good, because it can affect our feelings which may become messy or make us lose self-control which ultimately makes us lose a lot of money. and of course it can affect our relationship with our family, whether we have our own family or not is the same,  if gambling is done excessively then the family can become victims too. Don't let the gambling you do harm yourself and your family, it is very dangerous when gambling makes us stressed because when stress occurs, bigger problems will occur.

It is true that if it can be controlled well it will not cause problems in the family and this must be implemented as well as possible if he still wants to gamble after marriage.
As you said, limit the money that will be used for gambling because the most important thing is to think about the needs of your wife and children first and don't get your hopes up about the profits you dream of because gambling is only used for purposes. entertainment and to fill your free time.

Yes, if a husband has principles like that when he is married then he will never try to approach or even enter a gambling environment, because he knows the big risks for his family in the future, by seeing the impact of gambling he experiences. of course by other gamblers. it will make him aware not to gamble.
Therefore, if he wants to make his family life peaceful and happy, he will not try to make amends for his bad behavior in his youth and he will stop when he is married.

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?

This change everything from a real father/mother perspective , I said REAL PARENT because there are a not so real parent that only have children and not acting as a responsible one and this change the thought of the answer here.

If I am the one who is in the question like what I did in the past? i managed to change everything that i use to when i saw my first child , maybe others have the same experience as well here.

I think for us to get the right prospective and analysis of this discussion we need to take a look at some thing's that are very important to the discussions and how we relate responsibility to gambling and how a parent should began gamble responsibly because gambling have a lot to do with how we as a parent handle our affairs and how we expose our family to our activities.

well I have explained my own perspective and experiences , so if others did not have the same looks as mine then Iwill respect them , no matter what we wanted them have and take yet its their own decision that will win.

The truth is that gambling shouldn't be done at a passive level because at some point we all need to have it at the back of our minds that gambling can ruin one life so at that we need to have discipline while gambling.

exactly , in the end it is discipline that will take matter , either they wanted or not its none of our business.

Not many people can controlled their gambling activity well, no matter if they have children or not because when someone playing gambling, they can forget their rules and makes them playing gambling excessively. Everything will needs self control and have responsibility to playing gambling so they don't gets the impact of gambling. When they have children and still playing gambling, that will needs more self control to limits their money that will be used to playing gambling because we already seen many people lose control when they gets fun in gambling. Limitations will be their way to control themselves while playing gambling and to prevents using much money. If they can do that, they will not have to worry about spending the money to playing gambling because they will stick to their rules and limits and not breaks it.

[Su-asa]

 I’ve seen many cases of neglect due to gambling addiction. My own personal experiences have included seeing children sitting on the floor waiting for their parents to come and collect them. I’ve seen instances where security had to hunt down the parents, long after they left the casino leaving their children behind, parents playing slot machines in the grocery stores, leaving their children in parked cars, or sitting outside (attended) by the building waiting, and a host of other instances.
    I know of neglect inside the home from co-workers and families of the damage done inside the home, many times gone recognized for years before help or assistance is offered. Women who end up sex workers and bring customers into the home as a way to feed gambling addiction is another way children are either abused or put into harm’s way. The case below is by far the one that haunts me and will never leave my mind as long as I live. This case finally put a law into effect and brought to light what damage and horror gambling and addiction can do to children and those who are in the throes of addiction. The reality of an addicted gambler is that it’s a never ending loop and it isn’t until they hit rock bottom and just have no more money to gamble when they see the damage around them. For some this could include valuables in pawn shops, payday loans at several locations, etc.. They are always looking for that next big win to reclaim everything that was lost. Sometimes it happens. But, most of the time, it doesn’t.

That's bad the parents of those children are additional gamblers and the children are seeing what going on with the parents and they can't talk because they are still kids. Those parents don't mind keeping their children hungry for a day just so they can save the money then use it for gambling.
Been addicted to gamble lately doesn't end well because you won't be concentrated on your job, household, family and the families of addiction gamblers are the people that's always affected mostly. The government should do something to stop those things, especially when the parents are addicted and can not longer take care of the children, if the government can be able to take the children from the person or find a better way to stop the gambler from betting, although that's not possible for government to quit someone from gambling and we are in a morden days when you can stay in your house and do whatever you want.

With physical gambling shops obvious and many in the streets, it becomes very difficult to protect children completely from gambling. Believe it or not, they are seeing people entering the shops and what they are doing there and somehow their curious mind will lead them into knowing what they are doing. I see this as a major problem with no known solution because one cannot shutdown physical gambling shops because of children as that will mean closing people's businesses. I think the burden should be on the parents to guide their children properly. They can do this by telling them what they are doing there and why they should not get involved. This way, their curious mind will be at rest and if this is not done, they might seek for answers from other means and might receive information that will motivate them to start gambling in secret of through third parties.

Quite agree with you, children of nowadays tends to be more sophisticated than their age, that is, they tend to know much more than they are ordinarily supposed to know due to their young age, and as parents, it very important to look after our children, not just in terms of providing for them all they need to have a very good life and healthy growth, but also to prevent them from engaging themselves in what is supposed to be meant for adults alone.

I often see very small teenager in my street trooping in and out of betting shops, and whenever I see such, I usually cringe in my spirit, because it's very dangerous to allow kids start gambling at such a tender age, and if we check,, most of the time, the fault is usually from the parents who have zero gambling knowledge and do not understand that their children gambling from such a tender age is not good, I've seen a father send his 14 years old son to go play a lotto game for him at a betting shop that is just in front of their house, this is one of the ways parent mislead their children, and when that child grows up to become a chronic gambling addicts, the same parent cry and wail and say that their enemy had influenced their child, meanwhile they themselves are their own enemy.

. Absolutely mate we can not prevent children to avoid in gambling cause nowadays casino are everywhere , there are a lot of gambling casino who are actually accessible in our gadgets like android phone so we can access anytime anywhere we want to gamble. So some children can access in some casino even though in young age if they have gadget's.  And if they have money then they can put a bet and once they will got thrilled and happiness then they will access it anytime.

If it can still be controlled well, maybe it's not a problem, such as being able to limit their budget for gambling or their time for gambling, unless they gamble excessively or are more concerned with their gambling habits than their family relationships, then that's just a problem.

As you said, limit the money that will be used for gambling because the most important thing is to think about the needs of your wife and children first and don't get your hopes up about the profits you dream of because gambling is only used for purposes. entertainment and to fill your free time.

Not many people can controlled their gambling activity well, no matter if they have children or not because when someone playing gambling, they can forget their rules and makes them playing gambling excessively. Everything will needs self control and have responsibility to playing gambling so they don't gets the impact of gambling. When they have children and still playing gambling, that will needs more self control to limits their money that will be used to playing gambling because we already seen many people lose control when they gets fun in gambling. Limitations will be their way to control themselves while playing gambling and to prevents using much money. If they can do that, they will not have to worry about spending the money to playing gambling because they will stick to their rules and limits and not breaks it.

Yes, what you said is true, not all gamblers are able to control themselves in gambling if they are classified as serious addicts because treatment is very difficult, especially if they are told to stop.
And if a gambling addict already has a family, it is not certain that he will stop completely and abandon this activity. Sometimes an addict can try as hard as possible to carry out his activities even though he has lost a lot of money there, he will stop if he gets the possibility of a warning or punishment. he couldn't do it or accept it.

[Jody.Drummer]

Basically it is not impossible to lose money because however even if for example they are able to control everything well for the sake of a balance still for the problem of loss they will definitely experience but maybe the difference is that they will not experience a loss of money that is too significant that can make them experience financial problems in their lives and yes it is true that we or anyone should be able to manage, control and put a lot of precautions for a balance if for example we still want to engage in gambling.

I think this is an action that will not be too difficult if for example they come from the beginning by bringing the right understanding of what gambling really is, especially understanding that however gambling is an activity that can be high risk if done in the wrong way and which is not recommended by common sense, because most of the cases that have occurred where gamblers find it difficult to put limits and also control their gambling activities and that is because they come with only seeing the profit opportunities and not by understanding the possible risks.

[zuzie]

Most people try to follow this and give their best efforts, in some cases even the time spent on their family reduces the time they have left for gambling and eventually their habit frequency reduces and slowly they end up giving up their habit. This is exactly same as any other addiction like video games, things that dont really have a drug pharmacological effect. In other words it is possible for them to change and some do without any push but others need a push from close family members of their new spouses.

Of course occasional gambling is acceptable but regular gambling and losing money on the casinos enough to hurt your family's spending should not be encouraged and it is easy to realize this if you are keeping track of your wins and losses.

Yes, by concluding your opinion above, it is indeed a habit of gambling after someone gets married, there are some gamblers who can reduce their bad activities because of the reason that they become a wise and responsible leader in educating and improving the welfare of their wife and children. They try not to gamble excessively anymore, but There are also gamblers who really can't stop after they get married, instead they will play aggressively there, no matter what they do, and obviously this will be a disaster in their marriage relationship.

I think this is an action that will not be too difficult if for example they come from the beginning by bringing the right understanding of what gambling really is, especially understanding that however gambling is an activity that can be high risk if done in the wrong way and which is not recommended by common sense, because most of the cases that have occurred where gamblers find it difficult to put limits and also control their gambling activities and that is because they come with only seeing the profit opportunities and not by understanding the possible risks.

Of course yes, if a gambler from the start understands well what gambling really is and the impact of the big risks that often occur there then he plays gambling within good limits and rules so that he will only get a small impact from gambling. and non-implementation is a big problem for him.

[stomachgrowls]

Of course, my friend, a leader must have a wise and responsible attitude in his own family with the aim of maintaining the integrity of his household from the many big problems in the family.

Most people try to follow this and give their best efforts, in some cases even the time spent on their family reduces the time they have left for gambling and eventually their habit frequency reduces and slowly they end up giving up their habit. This is exactly same as any other addiction like video games, things that dont really have a drug pharmacological effect.

Of course occasional gambling is acceptable but regular gambling and losing money on the casinos enough to hurt your family's spending should not be encouraged and it is easy to realize this if you are keeping track of your wins and losses.

It would really be just that a matter of choice on which one you would really be prioritizing whether you would really be giving that kind of importance towards your wife and children or you would really be giving out that focus into your gambling activity on which it isnt really that suggested on doing at all or simply its just common sense on whom you would really be giving out that kind of priority.
If you cant be that able to leave out gambling then making a family isnt really still that for you. Once you do engage or tie up yourself on having a family then it would really be just that right
that you would really be leaving out or you should really be lessening up your gambling activity specially now that you do already have other priorities.

We do really need up to realize that spending up on non sensible things isnt something that should be tolerated. We can gamble somehow but come to think that it would really be just that
a waste on spending up on which you could actually spend it up into your family instead.

Children nowadays are quite advanced. They are able to understand anything easily. Especially if they know little about an addictive activity, they try very hard to do it. I think both sex and gambling appeal to children greatly. Once they find a way, they focus on it. So everyone who is their guardian should be aware so that they are not diverted in different direction. Such situations can be largely avoided if the parents do not expose them to gambling related issues and keep their personal use devices locked with security keys. Children are very curious about any forbidden subject so it is wise to control them carefully.

[dansus021]

When you have one or more children, you have heavy responsibilities.

Well, it does, I'm not yet a parent but I might know the feeling when in a family with a strict budget because In this case, I am the child. The economy in a family is crucial the data shows that a lot of divorces happen because of economic instability. If you had gambling addict and can't control budget you better stop right now because it will harm you the kid and your wife, and the whole family.

I have an online friend who never met him in person but he has a wife and one kid he told me that to this date he still plays gambling but with strict budget and his wife know about it. So if your wife know you need to discussed this deeply

[Litzki1990]

A child is born into a family and since birth he continues to learn various things through the family. If the family can bring him up in a good environment then the education that the child gets through the family in childhood will remain in him for the rest of his life. If in a family both husband and wife gamble and if gambling is always discussed in that family, then the effect of gambling will gradually go to the child and as the child grows up he will find interest in gambling. In order to bring up the children in the right way, I think it is better not to discuss gambling in front of them as it can disturb their mental growth. When the child grows up and has the ability to make decisions, he can gamble as much as he wants, that's another matter, but it's better not to discuss these things with him while he's still a child.
