This was the discussion topic we were having last night, a bunch of gambling friends and one of them an expecting dad. There were counter arguments that his child also would turn out a gambler like he is.

The arguments were that it is his in his gene and that'll pass on to his child, since every one in his family was a gambler.

The counter argument was that the child would make a logical decision and genes won't play any part in this.

Which brought us to another important question what if turns out a gambler would they both play together. Would he be comfortable?

Amid this he walked out and texted me he didn't wish to gamble anymore, so wanted your views on this.

becoming a gambler changes the parent is totally no because if you really a gambling person do not tell to your child or do not let your child know that you as a parent is gambling and you must discipline your child and let your child learn some good attitudes and let your child to become a discipline and a grow as a good person.

That differs from person to person what is better is to quit gambling after you are a parent because you have more responsibilities towards your family when you are alone even if you lose your funds you are the one who get's affected but now everyone is getting affected
He can't still gamble occasionally but on regular basis it is risky

yes, I think when someone becomes a parent, they will have more responsibilities to their family and they need to protect their family and they need to reduce their bad habit so their kids are not trying to do the same thing like them. maybe they could still play gamble but they need to play with a secret so their kids don't know about the gambling.

I think that in this situation genes do not play any role, it's all about upbringing. If the future father refuses gambling and will not show his child such an example, it is unlikely that the child will gamble only because his relatives are avid gamblers. If the child becomes a gambler, the reason for this will be the social environment in which he lives, rather than the genetic characteristics of his organism.

If he does become a gambler, he will hardly want to do it with his father. After all, both will understand that this dependence is not very good. I think they both will be uncomfortable and the situation will be awkward.

Unfortunately, gambling is a disease that needs help and support to be overcome.
But it is not absolutely genetic, while a person can be influenced if he sees other people playing.

Gambling does not come in your genes or anything like that, however kids have a tendency to imitate what they see in their parents, if a parent drinks or smokes the possibilities the child does the same in the future go higher so if your friend keeps gambling until his kid grows then it is likely his kid will become a gambler as well, so it could be a good idea that your friend quits gambling in the future or at least diminishes the amount of times he gambles.

I think it depends. If the parents has no dream at all he will not change even if he has dozens of children. I know someone from being single a gambler and a drunkard, people thought maybe when he will be a father he will change. Sad to say he just became a problem to his wife and children.

Sometimes if we have already family especially childrens we can end up quitting some of that. That would be means that for the sake of our family we will change. For the sake of our childrens we must change for us to become light for them. Because what we are now is what they can adopt soon.

Yes,to be a parent is also one of an aspect or reason to a person to change for better but I can say it is 100% sure because in my country since gambling was not that illegal and it is everywhere there are still plenty of people who are already a parent but still they stay as a gambler and some hoping to get profit from gambling which is very wrong.

I think yes. Becoming a parent will make them more responsible for their life and they will save their money for their children instead of wasting them in some casinos. Being a parent is a good experience for all of us because it does not change our mindset but also our life

Precisely.But it's really hard to be a good parent somehow.The lifestyle we used to do while we're still single will just change in a sudden.And we should nothing to do with it but change for the better.Or else all your bad habits like gambling will be absorbed by your kids thinking that it will bring them good also.Kids are very keen observers so as a parent,we should be extra careful with what we have shown to them since we are considered models for them.

Who told you that becoming a good parent is hard enough? If you are a good person by nature, then there will be no difficulty for you to become a good parent and if the case is opposite, definitely your children will never see you as a good parent. Lifestyle definitely changes when you get married because it’s something totally different from your past, also you never had such experiences in your life.

I think the genes are not a playing factor, maybe the enviroment where the kid is living can have an effect to him, maybe if you have kids you should focus more on them instead of gambling and you should set limits to yourself how much are you ready to spend and still have for good living for you and your kids.

Absolutely not! If you want to be more responsible, you need to know how to be successful, as a result , you will find that the best solution is to have some positive vibes. Otherwise, I ,have to gamble not because it is the game, becuse it is the personal desire.

really? You keep gambling after having kids? well it is your right but at least you should reduce your gambling habits. After having a child, prioritize your child, think again, than your money is used to gamble and go somewhere, is not it better if your money is used to buy clothes for your child, for your child's snack, for your child's school? I know gambling is your hobby, you can still gamble, but changing priorities is not a bad thing.

In some case yes, they changed and not do gambling anymore. The gambler will realize, he needs money for his children and his family. There is more important to do than gambling, wasting his money in casino than give it to his wife and his children. Of course there are many gamblers are not changes but there is some out there.

I also think that it depends on the nature of individual who has experienced this change in his life. Some people may change their old habits to favor the newborn but in this world, there are gamblers who won’t give up this game. At first, they will lose their capital, then borrow money and lose it too. Such kind of people cannot think very clearly. But those who really change themselves for the baby should be highly respected and encouraged.

There is no real bond when a father likes to gamble and make his son play gambling because of a father's genes problem, it's just an old story that is outdated is not right for me, the main factor of gambling addiction is the association of a child who goes into gambling, for me is very common for teenagers at their age, does not rule out gambling will not be avoided, starting from the classic game and just a momentary pleasure from growing more and more into to get into the real gambling hole.

Genes have nothing to do with gambling or addiction. It is all related to the psychological nature of the human being. There are many sons who are not like their fathers. Their fathers are addicted to smoking, their sons do not smoke at all. It is their own will and choice whether or not to follow their fathers' path. And if his dad does not want him to fall into gambling addiction, then he should raise him in the right way and teach him the bad effects of gambling, and eventually, it will be his decision.

Bbut being a father will certainly make a few changes. this is a small example of my surroundings. my friend is a liquor addict and also a gambler addicts but when he is married and has children. his life is 360 degrees different you know ? no liquor and gambling anymore. of course that changed him for the better is to be a dad right? there may be a self-awareness to teach their child better.

What your friend have done is very right thing because before marriage he was single and their were no responsibility but after marriage and getting child make more responsible to knowing this leaving all bad habits is a good thing. I was also before marriage leaving freely without any burden but when i got married i just stopped drinking and gambling. Now only for fun some time play gambling just to kill time.

Well, It is your point, but when you become father then you will not like that you kid do mistakes like yours. Then you will be responsible for your kids and when we become parents then our budget sometime out of control, in that time, we should change our some extra activities and gambling is also include in it. So may be in this point wise, we will be conscious about our kids and changes the gambling.

A parent knows his/her responsibility on his/her family and therefore, I believe that many people who become father/mother will stop gambling. Raise their family is the number one aim. Do you want your child be affected by our bad hobby ?
