Does having children have an influence on gambling habits?

[Accardo]

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?

As a parent, you should have an obligation to behave well for the future of your beloved children and wife because their happiness is the most important thing. As a husband, if before marriage he likes to gamble then when he gets married he must promise his wife that he will try to reduce his activities. gambling and as much as possible will get rid of it, even if slowly.
Because a husband must be responsible for all the needs of his children and wife and if he wants to return to gambling he must ask his wife's permission first because if the husband continues to gamble without his wife's knowledge in secret then one day something will happen. If found out, new problems will arise in the family.

Well said, married gamblers should respect their homes as well as their gambling habit, nothing beats family, same as the house. Hence, players must take their gambling habit as a fun activity. Not just a way of fun, but a means of relaxing after a hectic day or week. It's not easy to run a family, most gamblers tend to chill with gambling but end up making mistakes. That could affect the growth of their home, physically and emotionally. However, missing out on the crucial importance of leveling down compulsive gambling as a married man puts a growing family on a stagnant level. It'll drag backward the success of such a family.

Another important factor is letting the spouse know he's a gambler, way back, before getting married. It helps in settling issues in the future, especially when things get difficult for the gambler, his wife wouldn't face it unexpectedly. A family should be run as a collective effort, everyone contributes, and nobody should be let down, or left behind. The kids should be respected, as well. Because they are the future of the family. It's degenerating to watch kids undergo ill treatment from a compulsive gambler. Some players don't show their kids the love they deserve as children. All for the sake of gambling.

It can but it depends on the individual. Some persons may feel pressured as a parent (having to provide for the family), and would not stop because they are finding that one winning ticket. Meanwhile some others would consider that they can’t take care of their family based off on gambling predictions, and would rather use that money to solve something while investing that time into something that is worth it.

You can still place timed bets before the game but live betting, playing slots or casino games might take up too much time.  I bet the majority of people preoccupied by household tasks like this take up playing the lotto or similar low key betting instead.    I dont see its any change to betting on the horses or other bets you can put on the day before a race but being busy is going to stop people listening or watching the games, races, etc. live thats the problem.

If you got kids or other big priorities you no longer have the luxury of as much free time readily available.  Thats a situation not exclusive to raising a family but a common occurrence no doubt like it or not.

If the number of family members increases, there will be an increase in expenses, of course, a gambler may lose money in gambling due to the loss or it is normal that there will be a big change in his gambling habits. But there is no guarantee that this will be the case for everyone. Even if the number of family members increases in the upper income level, there will be no significant change in their gambling habits. But for those with relatively low income limits, the increase in the number of members in the family means changes in their money management. The amount that I can budget for gambling on a monthly basis, if my spending increases, then I have to reduce the amount of my monthly budget. Gambling will  have a negative impact on those who cannot match this budget with their spending. The same situation can happen if the amount of expenditure in the family increases even if the number of members in the family does not increase. Basically a savvy gambler must try to match his expenses with his income.

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.

In our roles as parents and spouses, it is important that we keep family welfare and satisfaction as the main priorities. Among other things, this entails bearing in mind that our actions have consequences and assuming full responsibility for those choices even if it is gambling we are talking about. The presence of ours and the support given to children and partners determine whether they feel well physically, spiritually, or otherwise.

I think that a person who developed a gambling addiction prior to getting married should be responsible and work hard towards minimizing or eradicating this behavior once they are married, particularly when it can affect the family negatively. When you have your partner’s permission before placing another bet shows the level of respect and sensitivity in the relationship and with the financial matters that affect the family.

Family trust and relationships can be adversely affected when one plays his or her own game without knowing how much money to stake and keeps the secret away from his or her partner. So, in order for a family to live harmoniously, it is crucial that gambling behavior is transparent and there’s an open discussion about it. It is important that the family survives and remains happy if all of us are responsible for our actions and bear in mind how they affect the family.

I agree with your opinion that when a man wants to have a relationship in marriage, of course he must be able to stop or reduce his bad activities while he is still single if he wants to build a harmonious and prosperous household in the future.
And it's true, if you have built a household, trust and openness are the keys to a harmonious household. If he continues to cover it up and does not try to be honest with his wife, of course his household will have continuous problems because of his gambling addiction which is the root of the problems in his life. his own family.

Responsibility with kids is serious. It can make or ruin you.  I can't believe you risked their future. Food, clothing, and a chance to succeed are non-negotiables. We build, not demolish

Wants vs. necessities. The line is there. Kids don't need a parent with a gambling problem, they need someone who's 100% there.  Your free time should be spent helping kids learn and grow. The genuine satisfaction is there. Not cheap pleasures

Your health and mind are their safety net. You're not just screwing yourself by gambling that away.  Want a serious challenge? Bet on proper upbringing. This gamble has the one payout that matters: everything

I understand the appeal of risk-taking, but this is reckless. It's selfish. Your kids deserve better

You right because parents must responsibility with their children. Children needs their parent and if their parents busy with their gambling activity, their children will be less attention from their parents. We can't risks their future by not giving attentions to them while they are grow and when we have children, we must give the attentions for them than just to playing gambling. We can reduce our gambling activity slowly until we can control ourselves better and not depends on gambling to release our stress and relax. We can release our stress playing with our children and that can makes we bond each other with tight. We will always take care of them and gives attention to them.

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?

from my experience as the head of a household, it actually all depends on the monthly income that I will get and if the income we get is greater and we still have a little money left for gambling it doesn't seem like it will cause serious problems.
as I do now, financial management is also very important, even though I have children, I still rarely use money from my job just to gamble or if not, when there is a football match where the winner is very clear, maybe I will use my personal money to bet, but it's very important, rarely because I rely more on the money from the campaign to gamble to try my luck while having fun.
but still, I also have to manage my gambling finances carefully so that within a certain time the budget I have for gambling remains to be used for gambling at a later date.

so that when I get paid from a real job, I will use it for my daily needs to meet my family's needs and of course, even though I have children, I can still gamble safely and comfortably without having budget problems.

When he is married and has children, a man must realize that he has a responsibility to support his wife and children. But that doesn't mean you have to give up your pleasures like stop gambling. Gambling without considering family finances is a big problem in the future. And leaving gambling because you think about investing time in your family is something that is very good as long as you can stop gambling. The problem is that some people who like gambling can't stop right away. I agree to reduce the time and money spent on gambling little by little. Because it is impossible to stop gambling completely after you have a family.

When someone can gamble and at the same time fulfill their responsibilities towards their family, of course they will really understand gambling and have a good understanding of the risks so that they prepare first for their family's needs and after that indulge in the pleasure they want. You are right, If someone gambles without considering family finances, of course they will have problems in their family and being able to stop gambling is not an easy thing and we can only reduce gambling activities slowly.

I think there are only two scenarios in gambling and children combination. It is either you dedicate all your time and money to your kid, which means there is no way you can gamble at all. But later return to gambling when you have more free time. Or persons gambling habit did not change at all. He isnt limited by funds because of a kid, and most of the time manage to find free time. Not like he gambles whenever he wants, but when the kid is sleeping for example.

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?

Of course having children could sometimes change the narrative of most gamblers because they will  be on a serious tight responsibility in making sure they provide for the family, so at that moment it will have an influence on there gambling habits because even if they would want to gamble but the first thing that would come to there mind is there family and from there they will start thinking about what the money could do for them if they channel it to there family, so perhaps that's were the influence of having children or family come in play.

Although all this things I explained only entails a responsible gamblers to keep because there are some people who has so many children with numerous responsibility but they still continues there gambling habits whereas they could gamble with everything they have just to make money and disregarding there responsibility to there family, however the reason I'm saying this is because I have seen a gambler like that, though is mostly common for those gamblers that are already an addict because they don't have control over there gambling habits.

Everyone knows kids change everything, especially gamblers. Folks, priorities change. Simply put, it is. I've seen the best; a family wakes up gamblers and clears their minds. They prioritize their kids' prospects over long-term bets. A powerful person can change that.

Not everyone can. Addiction is strong. Too many people have lost their homes and families for the excitement of the hunt. No reason for this tragedy. Leadership means taking responsibility and not risking those who depend on them. Knowing when to leave to focus on family is the ultimate gain. Its about good judgments, not easy money. Sometimes, the smartest play is the one you dont make.

[Iroh]

but don't force yourself to gamble if you have a limited budget, only enough for daily needs and you don't have other sources of income, so you as the head of the family must be responsible for your family's needs, so I agree with you that you can gamble when you have a budget and gamble with responsibility.

You owe your responsibility first to your family. If you’ve got a limited budget, you do not gamble as you ought to prioritize the needs of your family before your own. So you don’t indulge. If you really want to continue gambling, then you have got to increase your income levels. Get another job that would help increase your income so there won’t be any financial issues that may arise later on.
And even that, you still have to be financially responsible and not let your guard slip so as to not let loose and forget your responsibilities. A budget always help one remain focused.

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.

It won't end quickly but it will shatter if the leader of the family which is the father gambles a lot and starts to ignore his family's need.

Once the children starts to complain that they aren't given time by their pops, that will be remembered by them forever.

Kids are too sharp in their memories as they will always remember on how you've spent your time with them, the same goes if you don't.

Family is more important than gambling. Gambling is only a fun place that will provide us entertainment and accompany our free time but family will be with us throughout our life and their responsibility will also be on us throughout our life. so one should never give more importance to gambling than family  When we have kids in our family, kids will try to follow us so we should not have any activities in front of kids which will affect them and it will be bad for them. so I will never gamble in front of my child and if I feel that my family is in financial trouble after spending money on gambling. then I will quit gambling at that time

Any gambler that forgets about his family welfare and use the money to gamble believing to win big, so that he can use the money on his family is not a responsible person, and he is also an addict. It is only an addict that will put his gambling activities as priority, instead of the important needs first.

A responsible person will minimize his gambling activities in order to take proper care of his family needs, because he is a responsible gambler. It will help him not to get addicted as little time will be dedicated to gamble unlike when he was single.

[Cryptomultiplier]

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.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Having children or family does mean that you would really be having a responsibility that you would really be needing to fulfill, but i do
agree into some points above that as long you do able you do able to give out their needs then its not really that bad to gamble.

You do have a responsibility to fulfill towards yourself and your family. And whatever activities you do indulge in that takes up time and money before would have to be drastically reduced or if possible, stopped entirely. It doesn’t mean you can’t give yourself to a nice time treat occasionally, it means you’ve got dependents that are looking up to you as a parent financially and morally.

You could still indulge in gambling occasionally and still be a responsible parent to your child. Having a family shouldn’t make one quit doing what they love doing. As long as it’s legally and responsibly done.

It is very true, things can be quite good if the casino is done as a regulated and responsible activity, it is not alarming if you have a family and want to play, because basically things can be very alarming in thinking that you are going  and to leave the family without money, the most correct way in this case is that the person who is going to play simply goes to the casino with his money limited only to playing and respecting the balance, if the person respects his balance he should not think about depositing more, If you spent what you had in the beginning you should be content with the activity that was done, some people lose control and spend more than normal and that is when it is dangerous, a person cannot be spending a lot of money in a casino because the impulse and Emotions can make a person complicate everything and spend money they should not spend.

Family is more important than gambling. Gambling is only a fun place that will provide us entertainment and accompany our free time but family will be with us throughout our life and their responsibility will also be on us throughout our life. so one should never give more importance to gambling than family  When we have kids in our family, kids will try to follow us so we should not have any activities in front of kids which will affect them and it will be bad for them. so I will never gamble in front of my child and if I feel that my family is in financial trouble after spending money on gambling. then I will quit gambling at that time

It's clear, friends, family is more important than anything. In my opinion, the most valuable treasure in life is family, that is what we must protect well. It's true that you said gambling is only a place to find entertainment when we have free time, don't let gambling have an impact on the family. Gambling that is done excessively to the point of harming other people or the family is a dangerous act, families who don't know anything about why they have to be affected by gambling that is done by themselves is unfair.
I agree with you, never consider gambling to be more important than family, that is a ridiculous idea. I have heard of people whose family relationships were destroyed because they were addicted to gambling so they separated from their own family and that was because they placed too much importance on gambling rather than their own family so what happened was disappointment in the end. but even so, the family still seems to be able to accept our situation even though our situation is a mess. What often happens is that families experience financial difficulties because part of the income generated is used for gambling and of course that is not true.

[YOSHIE]

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

Having more than two children is definitely a bigger responsibility, but everyone has their own way of dealing with it. For me, children don't need to know if their parents are gambling, that's the main point, Second point, don't mix your legitimate personal income with gambling, gamble with the money you get from side sources, this way your burden on your children will be lighter.

Sometimes you're on a tight budget.

If your budget is limited, don't gamble. When you have an unexpected budget, then you go to the gambling arena.

Can being a parent change our playing habits?

It's easy, if you are in a position like that, you have to ask yourself, are you still single or married, if you think so, of course you can switch your game from gambling to another game.

Are losses even harder to bear when you're in charge of a family?

Of course, anyone who is stressed by the loss factor, for that you also need to be patient in that matter, if you know that gambling is a loss, stop, if you think that gambling is profitable for you to do, then you will think about what your family expects of you.
Your family, of course you yourself are driving, so be careful and drive well and obey traffic rules, so that you reach your destination safely.
