What will you do if you find yourself in a similar situation like this?

Assuming you find yourself in a similar situation as this, what will you do? How will you handle the situation to make your parents trust you again?

Telling them the truth first of all is going to be the key in all of this, that's probably the only way that I'd be doing it. Facing the consequences of my actions are the hardest so I'm definitely going to be doing that and there's no way that I'd try to take the path where I need to say stuff where I'm not going straight to the point. The money can be replaced but the more you lie about what you've been doing and the more that you've been dodging the hard questions, the more difficult it's going to be for someone to trust you or build up that trust even a little. It's such a sad thing that these things happen more often when people are exposed to large sums of money, I mean it's just shows how strong the grip of greed is when it comes to the hearts of many people, we break bonds and trusts because of it.

Parents nowadays are so busy and occupied with providing for their kids that the ignore the essential parts of their child's or children development. The hardly know who they are friends are, what they have been up to and even who their kids are. A parent who is able to talk at least for 10 minutes with his child or children everyday would observe the silent but noticeable symptoms of gambling addiction.

I put myself in the shoes of the young man. If it's worth me I would workmania jobs and do all sorts of jobs legally that will enable me to replace all of the money that I have lost through completely. If I don't I know my parents are never going to look at me the way they used to anymore.

Just like the dude who messed up, I'll feel very bad for such act, because I know my parents would be very disappointed at me and never trust me with their money again, but then whether I'm forgiven by them I'll make sure I try my best to replace the lost money, not through gambling or taking loans but working to replace the money, atleast they'll consider that I felt remorseful and might give me a second chance to prove myself worthy of their trust again.

 Anyways, he should grateful he's lucky he got good parents and his punishment was loosing their trust, i know some parents who wouldn't tolerate having a child who gambles and would go to the extent of saying they'll disown their child for such act. Also as a child who wants to give my parents the impression that I'm a changed person, after paying them the money I think the right thing to do is quit gambling even though it takes a gradual process to quit totally, atleast I won't spend recklessly on it nor allow them catch me doing it.

According to science, psychologists have found out that it is enough for parents to give children 15 minutes a day and this will be absolutely enough for the child not to experience attention deficit and grow up full-fledged, without depression and the feeling that he has been abandoned. It's very short in time, but it's really enough! In fact, even a small dialogue before going to bed will be enough to make the child happy.

Parents always believe in their children and are always ready to accept and forgive them, and this is the incredible power of parents, so we should always be grateful to them.

So @Fivestar4everMVP... there is no one who has a good enough psychology to withstand this type of situation and it's certainly not easy to recover the money invested, especially if the person does not have any investment reserves or crypto holders who were profitable...
I'd definitely sell some assets enough to pay off the debt just to have peace of mind, and in the meantime, I'd stop betting immediately, then I would freelance, learn a new skill more in the development area, I'ld accept local jobs, and as I become more successful, I would open a company offering my development services, learn paid traffic and social media...

I don't judge the guy, we all make mistakes, we make stupid and irrational mistakes in search of easy profit, I hope this guy can get around this situation, because I imagine myself in the person's place... Although I'd never invest all my income, even more so with money borrowed from family members...

To give me a better idea of this case, what was the amount lost or approximate?

[letteredhub]

They really messed up acted foolishly but my advise will be to the parents of the boy. They shouldn't abandon the boy to his own way due to his embarrassing action, the situation is not just about a loss of money but also a loss of trust to them from their son but they should bring him close give him the psychological support he needs to survive out from his addiction to gamble.  Parents should be up to their parental responsibility in taking care of their children, listening to them on areas they are struggling with in their life as doing this can help prevent children from acting immorally giving that discipline.

Nothing you can do at that point lol. Things have already been done and no matter how much you regret you can't exactly return the money you spent to gamble. Even working it out to return the money probably would take a while, and no amount of money returned could probably return the trust that their parents have for him. Unless ofc the parents are THAT magnanimous.  Considering how he spent his parents' money, I assume he also spent everything he had so he's penniless at that moment. It'd be pretty hard to come back from that imo, not to mention that you have to pay the money you spent from your parents.

Still confused about why they decided to save all their money in one bank account though.

[ShowOff]

If the person admits his mistake, especially to his parents, then it is reasonable for his parents to forgive that mistake. If it is a lot of money, then perhaps the level of trust his parents have in him will decrease, especially regarding money, so in the future his parents will avoid saving money with the child because they risk losing it all because of his gambling habit.

I don't know what part of the story to believe when he didn't mention how much money he spent gambling. Of course he could be expected to cover his losses by lending money to anyone or working hard and getting his money back, but his parents wouldn't know if he never spoke up and made a confession.

[...]
and let's say he somehow manages to replace the money, either by means of borrowing or working menial jobs to raise the money, will his parents ever trust him again to save large sum of money with him?

I think this will really happen if the parents are really old and they have no other child aside from "the dude". They have no choice but to give him everything as inheritance. This situation sucks for the parents knowing that their son may not be able to do well in life since he would probably still gamble irresponsibly.

[Churchillvv]

I know for sure that I can be in such situations but for the fact that it's an assumption I will definitely try my best to bring back the trust.

Perhaps I find myself in such situations where trust has been lost, the only way back to my parents heart is to do what they ever wished for no matter how much it costs me. I will have to pay the sacrifice in order to remain trusted but if eventually this trust can not be brought back then I will forget about it and stay in my lane. Perhaps with the level of seriousness that they will see in me might turn their hearts.

I believe in one thing which is to let go what is lost, instead of me to kill myself along the line trying to impress or buy a favour or bring back a lost trust, I will rather forget about it. Something's are not worth dying for, their trust will not add another year to my life as long as I have apologised and feel remorseful for my inhumane actions I will let go of their trust.

I've been into that situation when I was still studying and spent my parents money just for doing nonsense stuff until I realized that we're not rich, and that hard earned money by my parents were put into waste.

They never know about that even up to this point. But I have to do what I gotta do and I have to stand and be responsible for my irresponsible actions and that's why I am working hard, giving back to them.

And never done that anymore, I value now every single cent they earn and of course mine too.

tell them everything, if you want them to trust you again, there is no point in lying.

accept the consequences, because it is the only way you'll learn and realize the gravity of the mistake you made.

get help, seeing that the person most likely has a gambling problem, getting help is the best way to help yourself.

make changes to yourself and be better, show your parents that you can improve yourself and be the child that they can trust again.

Honestly speaking It is bad though, but the truth of matter is that parent don't just judge a child by 1 mistake, a good parent will have a close watch at that child and see how frequent he will be in that same attitude. If it was really a mistake or out of negligence and decide to change never to do it again, he may still gain trust from his parent but where it becomes a thing of frequent then he may lose trust from his parents. Parents don't just take that kind of decition so quickly.

If it was me in this kind of situation I will apologise for that kind of silly mistakes and I will never dear to try such again. Because losing trust from parents is easy, but getting it back may take you a lifetime to gain it, or may never get it again Depending on some parents.

Surrender to my parents and ask for forgiveness on what I have done. Also I want to seek for professional help or get into rehab since that situation put me in worse situation where I really disappoint my parent. For sure with that I can get a help to get out on addiction also I can regain back the trust of my parents.

Acceptance of what you have done can heal things and don't hide anything since it can worsen the whole situation and you might be place on more bad situation if you hide all of what happen to you. I know this is heavy but for sure your parents will understand us that we just fall into bad situation which can be fixable.

As a parent if I find myself in this situation, I will not forgive the child immediately. I will let him know how angry I am with him. My forgiveness will come with terms and conditions. First, he must go for therapy. Second,  I am taking his phone away from him. Third, he would pick an extra-curricular activity and be involved in it. It could be joining a football team, basketball, swimming or any outdoor activity that is high intensity. I can replace it with learning a skill if he chooses.

As the child. I'll talk to the closest person my father listens to and request that he speaks to my father. I will also plead with the person so that I can live with him or her for some months because I will not be able to stand my dad. And during that month, I will take the steps to amend my ways and change.

We must accept the losses and move on. Trust is the most difficult to gain back again in this world. Especially there is gambling related and money, that's difficult. And as you can see, the people also involved here are the family where these people must be the ones trusted and priority but we are destroying it.
The solution here is to talk, comfort, and ask for help. First is to improve ourselves and slowly move forward and don't make the mistakes again.

His parent can trust him again but what can make his parent trust him again is if he later become rich and be able to buy land, cars and take care of his family successfully. I have seen two people that this happened to and noticed that their parents trust both of them again because luckily they become rich later and buy things for their parents.

If the person is not rich, see it like a sellotape that is removed from a war, put it again and remove it. The more you remove it, the less active it will become. That is how the trust will be. The more the son do something like that, the trust will fade more. Which means because he is not that successful, he will be like a sellotape removed from a wall which means the trust will reduce even though he has changed. Not that is parent will not trust him to some extent but just that it reduce.

why should you even become too indesciplined to the extent of gambling with people's money? Regardless of the closeness of the person with you, it's 💯 out of the equation to gamble with money that's not your own.

I don't even want to put myself in his shoes cause if I bring myself into this kind of situation, my parent are damn strict with there money to even transfer it all to my account and even if they do, with the level of strict parent I have, if you try such things you might end up sleeping in the sell for at least one week before you will have the you will even come out to think of apologizing to them.

[Promocodeudo]

So, ladies and gents,

Here is a dude who parents trusted well enough to save their money in his bank account, that is, father of this dude (according to the dude) saved all his money on his son's (the dude) bank account, the dude went ahead to start doing sports betting with the money, and like this like this normally turns out most of the time, he eventually lost all the money the father saved with him without the parents knowing.

Later on, the parents found out and became very angry with him, he is thinking of how to handle the situation but doesn't know exactly what to do,
And let's say he somehow manages to replace the money, either by means of borrowing or working menial jobs to raise the money, will his parents ever trust him again to save large sum of money with him?

Firstly trust is earned no matter the situation once you betray trust that was given to you friends or family, getting such trust back will almost be impossible, even though the see you changing to a different person their mindset will still be biased because of the former incident that has taken place already, I must condemn what the guy did in totality because you don't have gamble with either borrowed money or money that was entrusted in your custody by people that confined in you, gambling is not a sure game so why taking such risk, why didn't  this guy think of meaningful investment I think I Lt would have been better if he had invested that money into profitable investment, he has leant in a hard way. Talking about me being in this situation, I have never been in this situation and I won't be because am always afraid of holding someone's money beside I don't even allow such.

[davis196]

Is this guy above 18? I can assume that he is below 18, since his father is saving money for him.
It would be a total joke, if that guy is a grown ass man and his father is saving money for him. Being a "manchild" is absolute cringe, but the parents have to be blamed for their kids turning into immature and irresponsible adults.
Giving lots of money to a teenager is a recipe for disaster. The father made a mistake by giving access to the bank account to his son.
I would never find myself in a situation like this, because my father is dead and my mother doesn't get a big enough pension to save money for me.
