Topic: Do your parents know about your gambling habit ? - page 4. (Read 1172 times)

I think gamblers should not share the issue of gambling with his parents. When my parents see me indulging in gambling, he can over-imagine many things. Moreover, since winning and losing are so close in gambling, losing can happen at any time. In many cases, gamblers become depressed when they lose, while if  parent sees their child disappointed, they may think that their child may have lost more money in gambling. In such a situation, if they want to know gambling issues from him, then naturally that gambler will not behave normally with his parents. So I think informing the parents is a big problem.

It really isn't necessary for us to tell people about our gambling habits or activities even with friends or family. I, too, live along with my parents and I have never told them my gambling activities online but I'm sure they're aware that I'm gambling as I casually visit local casino malls. Its not really about being discriminated by my family or friends but rather it's something that isn't necessary to talk about unless you've hit jackpots.

Decision will depends on you since our parents have different approach towards those activities we are participating on and might they can't accept your gambling activity since some old people think that this is pure evil and it can cause you harm if neglected or we lose our self control. But if we try to make them understand that the activity we do is just for pure fun only maybe they will not think negatively on the action we take. I'm more open to my parents regarding to this since I believe that even if I am grown up adult I still need their guidance and advices since it can help me a lot especially if I didn't notice that for actions done we commit a mistake already. And they are there to guide us regarding on their experience so for sure it can help us. Being secretive has disadvantage so I guess its not good if they know when we are at late stage where we are in serious addiction so much better while its early they already know about it so they can do something if we are already losing control on our activities.

There are things you do that your parents need not know about, because of how they will feel about it, just imagine when you get to know that your child is into gambling, won't you feel bad knowing the implications or even the danger this habit may portray in the future, yes, as an adult you have the right to make your decisions, but there are things you don't need to share with this old folks because it will sound strange to them, using myself as an example I was raised in a Christian home, my parents raised me in a way that they won't like to hear otherwise from me if they get hold of such information they will be disappointed, I don't care if any other person hears it, but my parent is no to me.

My parents live with me and they have no idea about my extra activities aside from work and I think they don't need to know it since I'm already capable of making my own decision and I'm the decision maker in the family, which I believe being a responsible is more important. Many are too open with their parents and that's ok because at least you have someone to lean on if something bad happen to you though many are afraid to open this because they might experience discrimination even from their own family and that's why many chose not to share it.

Many people still think that gambling is bad because they have often seen what gambling causes. For this reason, they forbid their children from approaching gambling and are not even allowed to know about gambling at all. Unfortunately, in this era of advanced technology, young people can find out about gambling easily because by searching on the internet, they can get all the answers and can start gambling. Now, it is only by providing understanding to children that every parent can do so that their children do not get involved in gambling. But there are still local or illegal casinos operating in our cities so that people can come to them to gamble.

Your parents, for a really long time having witnessed people in your village become irresponsible due to their gambling habits slowly become addicts. Living in a small village, news spreads quickly and as people gamble sitting by the roadside, it would be generally thought that the habit is what wrecks them.
And it’s quite irresponsible to play by the road side all day without having to do anything productive for yourself hence your parents fear.
I would prefer you respect your parents and not let them in on your past time activities. They’ll rightfully get scared and think you’ll end up like your village folks gambling all day everyday.

I am not in my twenties and my mother is very old, I don't think it's cool to tell them that I am into gambling when they know that I am all about Bitcoin investment, even before my father passed away he always told me to never gamble and I did honor it, because I never had interest until I get to know that gambling is now available online, I don't want my mother to start getting wrong thoughts about me or put her in a position where she is uncomfortable with what I am doing.

If you are a responsible gambler you don't need to tell them that you are gambling, even if you turn into an addict it's better to seek help else where, I am staying this because all I have now is my mother and she is old, if your parent are still under 60 and you need help, maybe you are the only child and no one help can help you then you can involve them, but for me its a big no.

The reason why people get assictwd to gambling is obviously their own desires and goals they have built in mind to make from gambling, you aren't working on anything, you aren't building something for the world to consume or use, so it makes no sense to expect gambling to turn things around for you, I know few people are lucky and that's the thing, once you get luck you have increase your confidence in gambling.

Judging from your response, it means you are still answerable to them for even asking where you are getting money from, but the case is different with me. As an adult of over 2 decades, no one cares about where I get my money so far I haven't given them any reason to question my responsible character. As for gambling, it's such that takes more money than given in most case, which is why not many people would be judging you through that since it's a few that wins big in gambling, and many of those who wins big also play big, meaning they already have money.

The reason why people started suspecting and asking questions is when there is an iota of irresponsibility in the dealings of someone. It causes concern and this would bring about curiosity that might eventually unfold the reason. There are some people who gamble but you will not even know not to mention anyone being bothered about them even if they eventually know. Once they do not behave irresponsibly towards gambling and personal lifestyle, they are good to go and they continue to live their lives the way they should.

Right, I never thought gambling was bad. I participate here mainly for entertainment. I'm old enough to say I'm fairly mature. But I don't tell my parents about this gambling because my parents and I live in village. Some local people here spend their lives gambling by sitting on the roadside. If I tell my parents about gambling, my parents will abuse me a lot thinking about these local people and put a lot of pressure on me. Because they don't know about this online gambling they realize that gambling is basically played physically by the local people sitting on the roadside.

They don't know that I'm playing gambling but they know that I'm into cryptocurrency and they keep wondering if i have money and where it comes from, actually, they didn't care too much as long as I didn't commit too much trouble them, and of course in the responsible with my action its enough they guide me not all the time you need your family with your mistakes, once you committed it's on your care. Just be responsible with the actions we made, especially gambling, well if you already earning a lot of money seems sometimes you really value this because its all of your time and effort jus gambling what you can afford to get entertained.

I dont live with my parents now but before when I used to I do say to them that I bet on sports  mostly in finals which they are okay with and nothing wrong with as it is my money. Mostly those parents that won't accept their child doing gambling are those parents that are very religious because it is a sin to them but luckily for me it is okay for my parents but still they gave me advice about the risk of gambling which I understood.

Gambling is not bad, the bad is how we deal with it, the addiction, and the other negative effects that comes from ourselves. Even if you are involved in gambling, but it does not give you any negative effect, it cant be said as bad. Of course most people have a negative mindset already about gambling because there are too many bad experiences from gamblers who are addicted and affected their life. I'm not sure about how old you are, but if you are mature enough, your parents do not need to know about it but still it is better if you tell them about it. It is better that they know it because you tell them than they know it from others or catch you do it later.

Does it work?
No, because with this aim in reality now they have become gambling addicts and are experiencing phase of financial decline so it is not recommended to carry out gambling activities to make money.
I believe that some children who have reached adulthood with tendency to gamble are those who were initially just curious about what the adults out there were doing in gambling risking certain amount of money to win, but the children still hid what they were doing they.
If we talk about problems like this, it is actually the fault of parents who are not very strict in supervising and limiting every activity of their child and also the fault of the child himself because he has entered into gambling and is in an inappropriate environment namely the environment of gamblers.

Usually when children grow up they are more wasteful in spending and also have fun with their friends so they try to make money by gambling.
Even though know it, they will still do it because they have felt the pleasure of winning bet so they are ambitious to get it back.

Gambling isn’t a bad addiction. Rather, it can be if left unchecked. Your opinion that no parent wants their kid to become a gambler is arguable. As you can’t speak for all parents, you don’t know for sure if some parents out there wouldn’t mind if their kid turns out to be a gambler.
Gambling can wreck anyone financially only if after taken as a habit, the person becomes addicted. If the habit is controlled, then you won’t have to worry about addiction and financial ruin.
Parents may very well want their kids to be far better off than they themselves were but there’s only so much a parent can do to their adult children.

The current age is digital age and parents give smartphones to their children at a young age and by the age of 6-8 they allow the children to sleep in separate rooms due to which the child gets freedom and gradually moves towards gambling while using the smartphone. And in this way, gradually gambling became addicted to the deep addiction of gambling. But these things happen behind the eyes of the parents.  A parent only gets to know this when he or she suffers a major loss through gambling

My parents still don't know that I gamble. I live with my parents but they still don't know about my gambling. Although I participate in gambling for entertainment, my parents will never understand. If my parents ever found out that I was involved in gambling they would put a lot of pressure and abuse on me. Because they know gambling is bad. If gambling becomes an addiction, life is completely ruined. Every parent wants their child to be happy and peaceful and his life is full of beautiful peace. No parent wants their child's life to be ruined.

Many people who do not have a large income use gambling to make money and this has been going on for a long time. And there is a possibility that their adult children also use gambling in secret because they don't want people to know they are gambling. And if their environment cannot accept someone who gambles, they will still choose to hide their gambling activities. They also don't want to see someone who will say many negative things about them or their family if people in their environment find out about their gambling activities. They should not gamble and look for other jobs to increase their income.

I also think the same, it is also true that the majority of their adult children do not live with their parents, it is very strange that this is the case, perhaps because they are not with a partner or something, however, as parents, children, there will always be the way that parents can do things to please their children, and one of the things is that they always talk to them, give them support and can generate that trust that they always want to show, when it comes to how to generate trust, because the Things can turn out well, since some children have a lot of trust with their parents, so in this order of things, there are some who account for everything, and this means that they can have a common opinion about their activities, but you also have to understand something When a parent forbids his children to do something it is not quite right, sometimes the children do not understand that the prohibitions are so that nothing bad happens to them, it is for protection, so based on that the children when They have that trust, parents must respect their decisions.

If a child decides to tell his father or mother that they are playing in a casino, it is not a reason for the father to go crazy and scold him, but if he must do something, give advice, in this case he cannot prohibit because he will still be safe. doing it, but if I can give you advice on how to play, how to use your money, how to diversify, that the money that goes to the casino is money that you have to be willing to lose, that you don't have to build castles in the air with that money, but quite the opposite, see that the money has the possibility of multiplying, but also of being lost, that he divides the money so that he can play every day at least for a while, this to help him, and that If I break their rules, those will be the advice I would give to my children, and that the money that is lost in the casino is because it had to be that way, and that I don't break the rules by using more money to recover because it is the but mistake, I think. that trust is always good and necessary.

Rightly said... There are persons who can merely eat one meal a day because they have very low income and you can mostly see them gambling all the time where else they are supposed to be some where doing jobs to be able to feed their family, sometimes the wife might be aware but what can she do when the man claims it is his own job and prefer gambling all day than working because of the less stress involved.
