Topic: Do your parents know about your gambling habit ? - page 6. (Read 1172 times)

The gambling world is totally for the adult people,but many people forget the important thing.The children was playing the game without knowledge of the gambling parents.So we can’t include the parents because for the kids involvement into the gambling.The today kids will become the parent one day,So they know their activities in their childhood.The adult had their full mind to take their decision in the gambling and in their life.The adult earning the money based on their work and involvement,So we can’t ask the adult to share their gambling involvement to share parents.It’s not the logical one to ask the gambler to share their parents.

A strange question (if we are talking about gambling as simple entertainment and not as an addiction that causes some problems), my parents probably don’t care how I have fun (I can decide for myself) but rather how my family and I are doing with our health/at work/in school, etc. My parents were never into gambling, so this topic is not common to us and we do not discuss it.

Those people who can control gambling habit in limit can make other good decisions in life as well and do good financially in their life. It is obvious that their parents will be happy with them.

It's really good if your parents allow you to gamble because not every people are have such "privilege", most of people will try to gamble secretly and lying to their parents. It's bad because you broke the rule from your parents, but gambling isn't bad as long as you know how to control yourself.

Why on Earth would an adult, standing on their own two feet, bring their parents into their gambling world? If someone is old enough to make decisions, they should be wise enough to understand consequences. Involving parents, especially if theres a dependence on them, is playing with fire. Old folks have their own wisdom, seeing perils that younger minds might miss. Think about it; wont telling them you're gambling while they're breaking their backs for your education just add salt to their wounds?

Look, I get that there are close-knit families out there where secrets just dont exist. But, and lets be real here, thats rare. Its a luxury few have. If you're in a family that's struggling, throwing in gambling into the mix is like poking a sleeping lion. Its not just about money; its about trust, priorities, and life choices. Ignoring this reality is nothing but self-deception.

Your parents are liberal-minded, it's hard for parents to accept that their children are gambling and they are very open because they know the risks associated with gambling, even if they told their parents that they are responsible gamblers, the parents will still worry, I am a parent and I don't want my children to be too involved in gambling especially if they have a family.
If you come to raise your family you should minimize or limit your openness to your parent, they will be worried if your wife quarrels with you because of gambling so for them to stop worrying it's better to limit your openness.

Even though I don't live with my parents they are aware of it, since I've been gambling even when I was a teenager, and I am also open with my father about it, and there are times that I would tell him how I gamble back then.

Most children respect and fear their parents, you could say that out of 100 children there are 1 or two who have no respect for their parents, Even though gambling is considered by some people to be good luck and make money, most parents think that gambling is a bad activity and act, even if they gamble themselves.

So there are two things here that can be said, [1]. Some children are involved in gambling their parents know, [2]. Others don't know, but me personally my parents never know and it won't happen.

For this reason, whatever we do, we must never disappoint our parents, because they always want to see us better and more successful than us, even though they themselves have not achieved success.

Ohh obviously yes as single person, my mum and father died my gambling habits. I am mainly into sports betting. First time I talked about it to my mother, she was very worried cause I was too young and she thought I could be addicted to it. Anyways I didn't follow addict patterns. I mainly played for fun when I was young and spent money if I win. So she is more relaxed now. She also likes physical casinos herself and love to visit around. As far as I observe we are similar, she also directly spends money if she hits a good win. I think parents and wives/husbands should be aware...

I'm an adult and telling my parents that I gamble doesn't seem appropriate because that will only allow them to create a path interfering in my business. We're independent and ought to make decision by ourselves and not some kind of kid that take orders and instructions from my parents, don't get me wrong, I do take advises from them, most appropriately the ones that deals with my daily lives and not the ones that indulged in the activities I anticipate in just to pay my bills. Facts, gambling is not what we should depend in as source of income, rather we gamble at out free time.

You have the right to make your own decisions since you are an adult. But let's be real here: if you want your son to be open with you about his activities, you've got to lead by example. The key is transparency! He might hide it if you do. And that's not what we want, do we?

Oh yes, young folks are always seeking for a shortcut to success. Quick money, quick fame, quick everything! Gambling, though? In other words, it's a complicated beast. Although the appeal of being wealthy quickly can be seductive, the chances aren't always in your favor. And because of their impressionable nature, youthful brains are susceptible to the flash and glamour of the gaming industry

Open dialogue? absolutely necessary. Children and their parents should converse all the time. It offers the best protection from gambling traps. They need to be aware that they can contact you if they learn about it from friends. So, act like the parent your son would confide in. Be present and, most essential, be open-minded and truthful

I think this question is best for people underage that are still living with their parents, I don't get why anyone should involve their parents in their gambling activities, if you are a grown man why would you do such? Even youths that are still going to school and are been feed by their parents still keeps their gambling activities a secret from their patents, to me it makes no sense to do this.

If you are been feed by someone and you go and tell them about your gambling activities they will start having a second thought about you, the way old people reasons is different from the way we reason today, they can detect dangers from afar, and you telling them will give them doubts that you are not serious with your education.

I know that some parent and child relationship are so strong that whatever is going on won't be a secret but this is one home out of thousands, maybe if the parents are rich it will be easier for them to over look gambling activities of their child, but if your parents are struggling to send you to school you have added more pain to their struggle by telling them that you are gambling, they will never be happy with your decision.

Yeah they knew I am betting lottery because here in my country extended family is common scenario. Though I am not living with my parents but still they know my gambling as they also gamble with lottery. There is no reaction actually since we all gamble with it.

Basically, most adults avoid or don't talk about gambling with their parents. Moreover, their environment is very religious. For some reason I don't really like gambling, I looked around at my circle of friends who gambled, and ended up getting into debt here and there. Indeed, technological developments are currently developing very rapidly and are very difficult to avoid and children can easily access these sites. This is the big task of parents to educate their children to avoid gambling and provide them with religious education.

I have parents that don't believe in gambling and they strongly advice against it almost all the time, they tell stories about those who are exposed to gambling at a young age and unable to grow because of the addiction they have for gambling.

This was a very long time ago and now I don't live with my parents anymore, but I don't think that any parent will feel good about their kids getting into gambling, I can only take my eye off a child who is into gambling if they are smart, I know they will be fine, no one knows their child better than parents.

If I am still living under my parents roof I won't let them know that I am into gambling because they will be in worries for me, it's healthier for them not to know, if I believe that I can explain my responsible gambling tactics to them, what if they don't still get it or believe it? Older people needs less worries at their age so it's better not to get them involve.

Yes it is very possible for them to imitate, which is where children will usually follow the same things that adults do, but they don't know whether it's good or bad behavior, they just follow it, if indeed what they imitate is good behavior then it will be very good for their personality but if on the contrary what they follow is bad behavior from their parents that they should not follow then yes it will be able to become their shadow and maybe they will continue to do things like that. Therefore something that is very influential on the personality of children is the factor of the environment itself, so we as parents must really be able to choose the best environment for them because indirectly it can also be a lesson for them.

No matter how small the changes in the child, every parent will definitely know, because obviously they are their children who are always with them every day and every time, and yes if there is something negative done by their children then they will definitely realize it, good behavior must start from childhood, no other childhood can also be a determination for them when they grow up, especially when they are just growing up then both parents must really choose the best environment for their children, don't let them enter the wrong environment, especially if one of the environments is gambling or even addicted to gambling, it's dangerous.

Yeah sort of, I mean not a lot because I am married and live with my wife, so I barely speak to my parents regarding gambling anyway, but when I do, I think its obvious that its not that much of a big deal for me, it happens to be something that is quite entertaining to talk about other things.

But, if we are talking about just being aware" then yeah they are aware of it, they may not know the frequency and the amount at all times but they know that I do gamble and that matters. I think its quite important to make it so that we are going to end up with nothing hidden from our parents even when we are older and that should be the most important thing that we could do, that wouldn't really hurt anyone and could do wonders if they help you as well.

By seeing their parents upset, children may imitate them indirectly in their daily behavior so that it will also change their characteristics to follow their parents. Children need attention from their parents and parents can provide the things their children need so that they can develop well.

And yes, parents can notice small changes in their children and start to become suspicious of them. Especially when their children grow up, they will interact more often with their friends, changing their children's behavior in socializing with everyone. If children have been provided with their parents on how they can adapt to their new environment, this will not affect their lives and will not affect their socialization with their friends because they have a firm attitude not to be tempted by anything from their friends.

I'm an adult, so I don't need to tell my parents that I'm gambling.
However, looking at it another way, I would really like my son to tell me if he starts playing too. Currently, only my wife knows that I play, because I do it very rarely and I still manage to "hide" it from my son.

The problem with young people is that many of them dream of getting rich quickly and effortlessly, and when they are prematurely introduced to gambling they end up seeing them as the perfect "opportunity" to achieve that goal, but these dreams and hopes are deceiving at the time. of the game, overestimating the real chances of victory.

It is very important that parents maintain dialogue with their children, so that children feel safe talking to their parents when they discover gambling, as this can happen through friends too.

This is what I cannot say out for my parents to hear,if I don't find it confortable gambling because I know it destroys lifes,then my parents will not find it funny if they hear that I'm gambling as well.One thing I know about gambling is that when you want to start,it won't be on a note that you really mean to gamble all day long,it would just be like to try whether luck will be on your side or not,and when you lose ones, you will decide to try again till you  win back your money,and that is how you go on till you exhaust all of your money.
Gambling is one thing I don't fancy doing,therefore I cannot relate it to my parents, or allow them to know  because if they should know,it will definitely hurt them.
