When you have one or more children, you have heavy responsibilities. Sometimes you're on a tight budget. Can being a parent change our playing habits? Are losses even harder to bear when you're in charge of a family? What are your experiences in this area?

Certainly!
You don't need to be a father to know that at every stage of life, responsibilities are different.

An 18-year-old often makes social contact and entertainment a "priority", no matter how much it costs him.

As he grows up, he starts to worry more about financial stability, even because he realizes that his parents can no longer support him.

When you get married, you need to pay attention to the family's accounts and if you have a child... well, priorities change absurdly because everything this player does affects not only her life but also the life of her child.
Depending on the country in which you reside, if the person is addicted to gambling or is unable to provide for their family because of it, the court may even order the loss of custody of the child.

It is true. When we have children, we must allocate money for them. It is possible that we decide to decrease the budget for gambling because children's matters are much more important. Sure, when we are in a tight budget, we possibly stop playing gambling temporarily. Gambling is mostly for fun, it is not an urgent needs. I am not trying to stop gambling but I adjust everything related to gambling habits. I admit that having children triggers me to use the budget more carefully.

I do not know about gambling. But in trading, most traders are losing also just like gambling. Most traders that are married that were trading quit trading or reduce the money they are using to trade. I guess that is how gambling would be. But some people will just be different and be addicted, just like trading also and continue to gamble.

If traders adjust their budget, even more so for gambling. The chance for losing or wasting money in gambling is higher than in trading. I'm not surprised if some gamblers will adjust their activities once they have children. Well, I don't think we need to stop playing gambling. Even we aren't addicted to gambling, sometimes we still need gambling for trying luck or just for fun. Adjust money for gambling is a wise idea, it shouldn't be stopped if it is impossible.

Yes, being a parent once can easily change his gambling habits. A person with his family's responsibility should learn about gambling responsibility to higher extent and if he spends most of his earnings in gambling then surely such person should reduce his gambling habits. I believe when your budget is very low which's only enough to support your family then you should not gamble at all.

Just by being a parent changes a lot of things for you, and gambling is not left out. When you now have a family that you provide for, a family that depends on you for financial provision, You will know that every loss has serious punishment as both your family and you will be the ones to bear the consequences. Formally before you got married you have no responsibilities to any partner, or to any children, if you lost in gambling, you could personally just manage and somehow find a way through to get through the situation, but right now you have children and and a partner, you have to think well before every decision.

I am not a parent but I lived on this planet long enough to witness people who have a family and gambling problems. losing money you cannot afford to lose can be debilitating to your family's financial security. so yeah, if you have a family and you are on a tight budget, your gambling habits SHOULD change, your kids and your family's well-being is your priority, and gambling can wait.

OP, this actually depends on how financially buoyant the gambler is. There are some people who may have a long budget, but they are also financially capable of handling all their expenses and would still gamble comfortably and spend any amount they want at the casino. There are also some people whose financial status is not so stable, and if they get married, they will have more important expenses to cover than using the little salaries they get to gamble. What you must know is that marriage, family financial responsibilities, and childbearing don't really affect every gambler; they can only affect those gamblers who don't have a large financial pocket

I don't have children, but I have a cousin who was pretty much into parlay and sport betting during his single years. Once he got engaged and had two children, he completely quit betting on both football and basketball (his favorite sports to wager money on). So I believe there is indeed an effect about having children and one's gambling habits, the order of priorities simply changes and most of responsible people understand now they must take care of human lives by their own.
If I ever end up having children on my own, I will probably step down on gambling and some video game habits. Though, there is still a long path ahead for me.

Really? This may be the first time I have read about addiction to trading.
Unless I am misunderstanding. There is a clear difference between trading and gambling, mind you, but I have always thought was harder for anyone to get addicted to trading than gambling, specially because (unlike gambling) traders can opt to use some strategies not tomlose all their money or improve their chances of profitability.

Well, I'm not a parent yet but I know that being a father or mother has its ways of changing ones perspective of everything and that can even include gambling.

The morals of a locality can determine how the parent would see gambling after having children or when they have children around. If usually as a single man you gamble with a 10% of your income (which is not advisable) as soon as you became a parent you will automatically reduce the rate at which you gamble because there is a consciousness that your responsibility has increased and as such you should reduce you rate of gambling.

So being a parent really changes alot in ones life, if you get angry when you loss and you express them in your face or attitude at a point when you become a parent you will some how not want your children to notice the sadness or you will like my pretend you are okay when deep down you aren't. (All this are based on personal perception).
