Topic: Do your parents know about your gambling habit ? - page 6. (Read 1509 times)

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.

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.

Doesnt really need for you to be parent or a person whose really that being addicted first with gambling before you would really be able to know about the risks that it is imposed to it.
Even with just using up with your own common sense then you would really be able to make yourself that wary about the risks on dealing too much with gambling or as much as possible it would really be just that recommended that better make your children wont really be able to encounter gambling in the first place so that they wont really be that exposed into their early stage knowing that curiosity on this time is really that into that too active on which means that if ever they have encountered something new then they would really be non stopping on trying to explore it which it is really
that normal for parents to have those kind of steps or actions that as much as possible they would really be hiding those gambling related things in front of their kids.
Gambling habits or any bad habits should really be that stopped or should really be that be cut-off.

It's again based on your parents,if your parents are very friendly to you.Then you can share your habits to parents,So they can accept the gambling play because of the parents maturity in to the current way of life.My parents know my gambling habits after I had started my gambling during my college days.But it can’t be same to all the gamblers,because not in all the houses the parents will accept the gambling like my home.So share if your parents are gambler or d supporter of the gambling.Because if they against the gambling,they will not allow to play gambling after the information of involvement.

The reason why the society and our parents condemn gambling is because of losses, if you are a gambler that wins even if it is not all the time but when you win you tell your parents you won they might not really bother you much the only reason why most of our parents are against us playing gambles is as a result of not winning.

There are sometimes that you win a bet and your parents knows about the winning next time they will even give you money to play for them as well though this happens when you win and also give them a cut from the winning

My parents know that am a gambler but they're only happy with me when I win but if I don't win for sometimes they will start complaining that since am no longer winning that I rather quit instead of continuously losing

Then provably they would be angry if they know that you are doing this activity and might they might do something that you wouldn't like. So maybe try to slow down all things and make them understand that you are just playing and erase up your boredom at home and the one they called sin is only applicable if you do excessive gambling or you have bad intentions from what you do.

For sure with pure intentions you parent would provably understand you since you are their child and if they see that nothing change on your life style and still you are functioning as a good person in the community then provably they will just accept your gambling activity. So communicate with them so that no conflict will be created for hiding it.

I don't think there is any need to tell our parents about
our gambling habits because as an adults it is believed that you are entitled to make decisions for yourself by choosing what you want and take responsibility of any outcome of it.

So for me I don't tell my parents about my gambling because I felt there is no need for that and in most cases telling your family about your gambling habits could easily influenced your younger ones to start gambling by following your footsteps, so the best is to keep our gambling habits to ourselves instead of letting our family no.
