Is this being strict?

[Orpichukwu]

When this child grows up, you will leave to regret this incident for his entire life because of his father's decision, this is also one of the reason why you see some children who feel to go by their parents way because they choose their own part on their own and by themselves, maybe you will later regret why telling his father, when he could have keep such away from his father.

The child doesn't need to wait and grow up before he will know that the father is not giving him good advice; come to think of it, anyone who is old enough and allowed to gamble should be able to detect and differentiate good and bad by himself. That which the dad is asking him to do can only be considered misleading advice, and he should never take such a step even if it costs the family relationship to be shaken; it's better than losing that money. There is an opportunity in the future to reconnect, but when that money is gone, that's it.

I don't even know what to call this but if the kid does what his father asked him to do it is not obedience, it is actually stupidity. The money he got wasn't stolen, it was earned so it would have been a different case if he told his son not to spend the money or save it for something important but returning it sounds really absurd to me.

I came accross a story about a buy who won #38 million from a bet he staked with #450, but instead of his father celebrating with him and guiding him on how to utilize the money properly, he demanded he return the money Because he doesn't support gambling.

Is 19 year old is still a boy

19-year-old Boy Won N38 Million Bet

he can decide on his own whatever he wants with his family. He will have something to regret in the future if he starts a family, but that money is enough to secure his future family.
His father is both strict and ignorant. If I were in his shoes, I would keep the money for my future, use it to set up a business, or put it toward my studies.
I'm just being practical: I won it legally; I will be a laughingstock returning it; and besides, it's hard to win at gambling or earn that kind of money. In a world full of uncertainty, we have to be practical and use logic.

This should be a life-changing amount that the boy has won and this is the stand of his father on the source of the income. meanwhile they face the issue of rent renewal which should be due in 2 months time and it should be a case of divine provision. This shows the extent that personal beliefs can prevent rational thinking.

In my opinion, his father’s stance is strict but wise in a way; perhaps he understands that gambling is prohibited under the laws of his country or his religion, so no matter what, he cannot accept it even if the winnings are substantial and could help improve their financial situation. But I myself won’t be hypocritical; I’ll accept the winnings and tell his son to use the money wisely. Even if it’s the result of gambling which I don’t approve of I’ll tell him not to gamble again in the future, rather than outright rejecting the winnings he’s already received, because it’s truly a very large sum and could help me.

The father is an epitome of a man that do believe in his principles and will always stand by then no matter what. This kind of people is rare in the world because most parents will be very happy seeing such amounts of money and they won't even care the source of the money. So the father is not being ignorant, he just trying to instill a good virtue in his son . People should always learn to keep to there words, earlier before then the man had already condem gambling maybe gambling is against his beliefs.

[Satofan44]

The situation here is not about the father being strict or not, but the display of his foolish behavior over a life changing of opportunity the hard in the family which the boy brought in and his wrong mentality forfeited it, hadith been his strictness ever worked before, maybe you would have succeeded in training the child not to ever thought of gambling in the first place, body shows how he has failed in child of bringing through his kind of mentality to what should be allowed and not for a child.

If you consider actual criminal behavior, small cheating of taxes, cheating of friends, family members, other disputes, one will realize that most people are doing things that are wrong at least some of the time. What is presented here "gambling is wrong" can only be a cultist idiocy from some savage religion or belief, it is not based on any kind of practical reality of humans and has no relevance as such. People who are signalling their virtues tend to be some of the most amoral and deranged baboons known to man kind. A rational and sane person would always analyze each and every situation in order to contrast it with their own beliefs, and only then would they make a decision. Anyone who dismisses any and all situations for his belief is not a principled person, he is an irrational idiot. Many in this thread have failed to understand that, because they themselves do not have real principles and as such they are unable to differentiate the fakers from the real ones.

This looks like a made up story but let's assume it's not why would the father think that the best way to teach his son about discipline is by returning the wins that was gotten through luck, that's not going to help in any way because it is absolutely ridiculous.  I have never heard of something like this before, the reason why I think it is impossible is because everyone values money and a win isn't stealing. This is a strict move made by his father, It takes someone that's rich to do this. it is very difficult to come across a case lke this

It is quite possible. In these times we can't be sure of any story anymore, as everyone is abusing anything for a variety of reasons. It could be the casino itself that wants to get its name out more in a viral story, it could be these people who want to become viral and do it for the clout or it could be just fake overall. Everything is possible. In any case, a real person with principles would not have rejected this sum of money -- and if they did, they for fucking sure would not share the story into the public.

The father is an epitome of a man that do believe in his principles and will always stand by then no matter what. This kind of people is rare in the world because most parents will be very happy seeing such amounts of money and they won't even care the source of the money.

Wrong. Assuming that the story is true, he is a low-life and envious retard that has no idea what a real principle is and who prevented his son from escaping the wage-slavery of modernity. Stop inventing virtue where there is none. There is nothing wrong with gambling, people are gambling every day including people who do not play casino games and including those that pretend that they don't because their religion forbids them to. Just because you are not aware that something is a gamble, that does not mean that you are not gambling.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

That's not being strict, it's the perception of gambling which is different among people based on their personal and religious beliefs. The Papa is someone who is against gambling and that's probably based on religion. If I were the son of that man, I should be able to know what kind of thing my dad will not be in support of and knowing that he won't support the win, I will not announce it to him but will rather deposit the money in the bank and bring it out gradually.

I would never tell strict parents about my gambling addiction because it would anger and upset them, and they'd try to dissuade me, but I'll do what I think is right, because I'm an adult and I know exactly what to do and when. It's not just about gambling that you shouldn't tell such people, but about anything else, either, because they take everything too personally, and it negatively impacts them. They can't control themselves, and eventually they become depressed, which is definitely not something anyone wants.

[yhiaali3]

I believe this story is related to religious beliefs. It seems the father is religiously conservative and considers gambling religiously forbidden, so he refuses to take the money his son won gambling because he deems it illegitimate. I don't know for sure, but since the young man is 19 years old, he is an adult and responsible for his actions.

This story illustrates the disparity in thinking between strict parents who cling to rigid beliefs despite poverty and children searching for a way out of their impoverished lifestyle.

He did for sure. To be brutally honest, I don't see the father as being stupid or ignorant. As a father myself, I have principles in life that I would teach my children and try not to break them. Most of us will do anything we can, even if it means it breaks us as a person, when we see a lot of money in front of us. If this story is true, I respect the father for his strong principles, not being dazzled by the huge amount of money coming from something he believes is unethical. I don't think the father is ignorant enough not to know the amount of that money, right?
However, in a practical sense, they could have at least considered that for once, in order to have something they can start with a new life and make their son promise not to do it again. That, I think, should be the best card the father could've played.

I would also like to add that there is even possibility that father saved his son out of gambling addiction. When very young people get a lot of money they can make really irresponsible decisions, resulting all types of addictoons (gambling, drugs etc.), so there is big possibility that the son would have wasted all his winnings anyway, so if that would have been the case his father maybe did him a favor.

Children can most time take unnecessary decisions to make themselves rich because they feel like it's okay for them to make their own money based on what they have been seeing online how their fellow kids are making money and helping their families to stay wealthy  because of their efforts to change their family history to a more comfortable one.

Sometimes belief can be strong but yet there are things one will see they will forget about anything belief. You just said a boy and didn't actually tell the age of the boy but if he is an adult I don't think he will even listen to what his father will say because he should know what to use the money to do after all the money is huge to start a very big  business or make some investment that will yield something tangible in the future. However, with the story it shows the father is a strict person and sometimes it is good to be strict but I don't know what I will call this kind of strictness because who will reject such in this era, the funny part is that he didn't steal the money the highest thing the man would have done is to tell the boy not gamble again if the boy is under age and explain why he should not...

[Ever-young]

Honestly, if I’m that boy, the last thing I’ll do is return the money, like return it back to who? If my father claims that he’s against gambling and decides not to take part in the money, then that’s his business, but returning the money back to the casino is a total no, I mean what for? This is quite an unusual situation in the gambling industry, and this kind of experience is what we would most likely term to be a miracle and I’ll be the last person to waste such miracle because my Dad says so.

This happens years ago, I'm just seeing this for the first time but since there is no evidence to back up the story, I will not buy the story reason is that it look like something a person just woke up and decided to cook up lies for the public. Even a man that is too religious will not say such that the money be returned but will guide you and tell you to stop gambling, even if the dad hate gambling, he will say the child should stop from henceforth and not to return the money.

It's not like if he return the money it will change anything, the guy will go back and spend time to win again not to even talk of how the casino are going to take back the money. They are going to require him to bring his lawyer so they will do some paper work so he wouldn't come back another time that he was force to return the money and want the back the money again.

[sunsilk]

Understanding the stance of the dad that with his strictness, he doesn't want his boy to get involved with gambling. But it's already after and the money is there.

If he's too principled not to accept it, that only means that he doesn't like the money. But after all, it's still his boy who gets to decide with it because that win goes to nobody but him.

He can let this slide down and apply his principle again for being afraid that his boy's money will just lose.

I don't think that gambling can qualify as making money, as it is designed for users to lose money and not to make it. Unfortunately a lot of people have the illusion that gambling can make them rich. This kid from ghis news story is just an exception, and I beleive that his father didn't want him to view gambling as method to gain money so thats why he returned his sons winnings.

[danadc]

This type of attitude is really what some African brothers will say. They are controlling the person in the village, which is what's blinding him from taking opportunity, whatever that will take him away from poverty will not always look good to him. Enough about that, but if that man truly reject and send back that money it will only mean show how stupid and blind he can be and if you will be hard for him to get out of his financial situation.

The only way to return it is if it's money obtained in an illegal way, that's true, but when it's something you win, something you've been lucky about, you don't have to do anything else, just enjoy that money. I agree that people who reject things like that are stupid; they can't just accept the fact that they didn't pay attention to it but won it, and as a lesson, they shouldn't accept it. It's incredibly idiotic to do something like that.

[abaeze]

Maybe the story is true but I don't believe it. Because it is really unbelievable that someone would refuse to accept such an opportunity in such a difficult situation. Due to the religious beliefs of the parents, the son should have considered returning such a huge amount of money earned by the son depending on the instructions of the parents because even if the son had stopped gambling later, he could have met all their needs with that money. One thing that the boy's parents needed to understand is that opportunities do not come again and again, so only those who make use of opportunities in time can achieve success in the future.

[Ronsbit]

This story is an old one, though, but I do not think the father's decision is a wise one for them as a family. He might be too strict, but looking at the situation on the ground and how the money came about, one could say it is divine or a divine intervention for the family, and yet the father could not be sensitive enough to decipher such, but was being too rash in his decisions. Anyways the boy is above 18 and has the right to make a decision for himself, and besides, such an amount of money is big enough to start up life and investment in any part of the country. Maybe he could just go elsewhere and live his life wisely.

On the one hand, I admire the old man principles. It's hard to find someone who holds on to their beliefs, even if the money could cover their family expenses or even change their lives if used to build a business, perhaps he was a deeply religious person, deeply devoted to his religion.

But on the other hand, I also feel that what he did was regrettable, even though he disliked gambling, he should have taken the winnings and told his son not to gamble again. Hopefully he won't regret it later.

[Fredomago]

I will also do the same, it will be the last option that I will make in terms of returning the money, that's a huge amount of winnings if my father will not accept or will not take part on it, I will take it and change my life in terms of finances, it's not a decision of principle but a decision that may change my future and I will take that gamble of life not to let this opportuniy being waste out, there's always a way and always alternative option to keep it and I will surely find that route.
