Not really. I have a cousin that does not have a job and even after having 4 kids, it does not still make him think that he needs to change and stop on what he's doing.
There are gamblers that can't give up their own hobby just because they became a parent. Even here in my place I've got some relatives who are not stopping in gambling even they have a bunch of kids to feed and to take care off. It all depends, they can still gamble but they have to be responsible and provide all the things that their kid/s needed.
Topic: Does becoming a parent changes the gambler? - page 4. (Read 789 times)
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.
I don't think so that it will pass through by genes but it might give a big impact to children when seeing their parents and also the environment . I have a cousins their father is really a gambler and knows lots of kinds in gambling but even one of the siblings don't know how to play even a simple game.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.

Here in my country it is normal that the parent and their daughter/son play together, I can see that they are enjoying and felt comfortable gambling .
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.I think i agree with you guys because parenting comes with responsibility and so whoever be it the man or woman after becoming a parent tries to shun off some irresponsible attitudes which hitherto would have allowed and so i think in a way it will affect the gambling life of any gambler who becomes a parent.
Yes, being parent has big responsibilities. In the fact that you need feed your children and your husband/wife which mean that all your money is for securing your family.
If gambler did not chance I think nothing will happen to their family, because they have no enough time for family and did not monitor the situation inside the house.
Even gambling is easy way to earn money but it is coming from illegal and use to support your famkly, I think it's not a good images of parents.
But there are really situations or instances in life which cant really be avoided on where you would need to do the last resort on making money which means thru gambling which is actually a very bad idea to do.If gambler did not chance I think nothing will happen to their family, because they have no enough time for family and did not monitor the situation inside the house.

Being a parent comes with a really big responsibility to raise up your sibling into a better and good path.Even on my side I cant afford to let my child see me doing gambling.I would rather keep it on my own than on exposing myself to them.
Parents will do the things that will make you happy and can sacrifice even big things just to secure their child's safety and wellness.

There are female gamblers too. It goes both ways and this also ends up as a faimly problem. Getting addicted to gambling does not mean one should not take care of family. Actually women should not gamble because have a huge role to play in a child upbringing. But so does the father.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.

Becoming a parent is different experience of life altogether. It can turn a bad human is a good human in a few months.

The genes argument is nonsense, there is nothing wired on our genes that makes us gamble.
I understand from what you are saying that he is not a responsible gambler, that at least sometimes he gambles more than he would like and then regrets. Having a child can change his behavior but in many cases it doesn’t’. You’ll tell us later how he’s doing.
Yeah, most responsible gamblers will not even want to let their child be aware of what they do in their own little time to unwind and where the problem would be is being an addict, and also no responsible father will lure the child into doing what he is fighting to get out from.I understand from what you are saying that he is not a responsible gambler, that at least sometimes he gambles more than he would like and then regrets.

It is not a matter of gene like the OP have said, gambling is a choice and unless the child decides to go in that footstep with a decision he is making all by himself, then we have a Junior gambler in our hands then like his dad.

I think having a child is a big step in life, and changes people a lot, because once they do they realize that they have responsibilities, a duty to be fulfilled to give that child the best they could give so he can grow up and be a good person, and gamblers of all people start losing their passion and their addiction for gambling because the money they go spending in the casino is best to be saved or given to that child.
Getting responsibility will definitely give you a big change but it doesn't mean that as a gambler you have to change. It only adds you something that you need to sustain as a parent, not all are the same. There are some that changes and there are some that doesn't.

I totally agree with you on this.
Before anyone becomes a parent, one must first know all the responsibilities he/she has to commit. All of your bad habits, your lazy attitude and other relevant stuff should be changed once someone becomes a parent. The responsibility that you have to commit is greater than anything else, since you are building the most basic unit of society- which is a family. Relatively, people who typically gamble and become a parent afterwards change their ways due to the magnitude of responsibilities. But this also poses a danger to them as there exist this tendency for them to go back to their old ways.

For a few very important reasons like:
1. When you didn't have a child, you can lose everything and just go about your life without anyone you need to support. That child will need money to live and if you can't provide that then he/she will not be live a good life.

Well, dunno if your wife would be happy about you gambling away your house
I get the other points though
And it's not whether it could change a gambler, but that it should..

becoming a parent could changes the gambler to be a good parent so his kids not follow his way to earn money. but if he cannot changes his self, then it might be difficult for him to tell his kid to not playing gambling because kids always follow their parents did. so if we want to teach our kids, we need to teach our self first so we can tell and teach our kids about the good things and we can see our kids learn only good things that we told.
there is a saying that what adults do , childrens will also follow it even if its bad for them. i guess that saying can always happen on real events and it can happen to your child because they will follow your bad habits on which is playing a gambling. even if your good at hiding , time will come that they will always find out about it. so i guess in order to be a good parent and a good influence to other children. much better if we can avoid playing gambling if there is a children beside us, rather we will only do gambling in a private place or in casinos and online sites.
I don't think it does but it depends on the person. Like some people who are addicted to cigarettes stop smoking after becoming a parent, but some don't. It's the same with gambling. For some people it will be a moment to stop and others won't change anything.
