Lack of self-control in gambling just makes someone used more money to playing gambling and that means, he will lose his money. He will difficult to recover his losses in gambling if he lose and difficult to win in gambling. He will gets his emotion becomes high and becomes more aggressive because he feels that he can recover his lose. He will not thinks that if he lose his self-control, that can caused him playing gambling excessively and lose his money without have a chance to gets his money back. That will impact his financial in his family because he will used his family's money to playing gambling without thinks about his family needs. Once he lose his minds, that will be the time for him to lose much money and his family will gets the impact because of his carelessness.

Unfortunately the lack of discipline and self-control have repercussions on most aspects of the life of a person, so if they are irresponsible gamblers, it is doubtful they will think forward enough to prevent themselves from ever having a child.

Which is sad, as those kids will have to grow in an environment in which they will not have all what they need for their correct development, and this could cause them to repeat the same story and become just like their parents.

Totally agree, friend, it is because of the lack of self-control that gamblers can become addicted to gambling and we can see that addicts will become more aggressive when they see the opportunity that they might get, but it is not certain that they will get it easily, that's why they play excessively without limiting the money he will use for gambling.
And especially if the gambler already has children and a wife, if he is really unable to maintain good control related to gambling, then his family will definitely experience quite severe suffering, so it is truly a shame if a father or husband cannot limit and maintain control well because his children and wife will also feel extreme sadness over this carelessness.

You've made a good response for gamblers who are not yet married, but players who got into gambling as married people, may not benefit from this advice. Because they'll be gambling while parenting their young offspring. The upbringing of children is quite stressful, like compulsive gambling. Kids can disturb the peace of the gambler while playing games, hence he wouldn't focus. He'd try to double-task these two stressful duties. The gambler will play blindly, due to this challenge, and could lose out money a lot. When that happens, who is to blame, the child in the mind of the gambler?

But a player who isn't married with kids will place his blame on the house. Some gamblers may not get hold of their emotions or anger when next they're gambling, and the child comes to distract them. They could develop a mood swing and upset the child. However, your advice is also crucial if the player out of his love for his kids, quits gambling compulsively and plays once in a while. And invest his time in building the cognitive brains of the kids. In the future, he'd be glad he did it. Instead of battling with the kid's upbringing alongside gambling.

For what I am reflecting, after having a child and being with my woman, I become more conservative. I risk less, gamble less, and really thinking more about the money I am losing than the money I am about to get. This way I get less stress in gambling, I don't force my day to win. I even find it more rewarding because I get to have more time with my family and my work. Because I am only betting the money I am willing to lose and my woman allowed to played with , I am not stressing out if I get losing streak because I know I am not betting it all.

It is something like the less importance I give to gambling and more to my family, to more rewarding it is becoming for me..

Gambling always involves money, or simply put you will only be able to gamble or engage in gambling when you have money because the name gambling is always about the activity of risking something valuable that you have and one of the most common is money, and obviously by having a gambling habit then inevitably you must be able to balance everything well, especially when you are married or already have children, which means you must be able to give full responsibility to your family by meeting all the needs of your family while on the other hand you also need to set aside money for your gambling habit.

In some cases usually in the end the gambling habit even causes problems in the family's financial balance which means that they are not able to control their gambling activities properly and instead tend to lead to a lot of excessive actions on gambling activities which in turn disrupt the family's financial balance, and yes it is true as you said that the most important thing is household affairs or that means prioritizing family needs over gambling, because after all gambling is an activity full of uncertainty and if you are too serious in treating gambling then it will only cause a lot of problems with your finances.

When it comes to possible influences then it could really be something that can happen and this is why it would really be that ideal that you should really making your children would really be that having that self awareness when it comes to gambling so that whenever they do able to encounter such situation then they are fully aware on what are the things that they should gonna do. They cant really just that make themselves having that kind of involvement since they do that it is something that bad to deal with, not generally bad but once you do make yourself having that kind of engagement
then this is where shit things do really start to happen. This is why it is really that something relevant or important if we do speak about parenting because it will really be making our children to be wary
on things on which are supposed to be avoided as much as possible. As a family man then having some gambling activity isnt something that would be ideal anymore, now that you do have
already a family to feed then it would be just that normal that would be making out such adjustments.

The bad associations around us having effect to our gambling and maybe most influence than child. I know, people who have friends with non-gamblers can also become gamblers. This depends on each individual's mindset and decisions. It's not the network and friends that are at fault not even if we are having a child, but us deciding to choose to be in the same life as those we consider as bad or as a gambler. maybe child can be influence to gamble if his child ask for something that can't be provide instantly by his parent, but this is not a major reason i think.

If indeed when we were single we liked to gamble without the burden of thinking about the losses or defeats that occurred and when we were married, let alone had children, in my opinion we should be able to reduce gambling activities which we usually do without hesitation. it's better maybe to stop the habit, but if when you're single you get used to it so you could say it's an addiction then it might be difficult to stop it, but at least we have to think about other souls who should be our responsibility to support them, prioritizing family is important instead of prioritizing habits that could be said to be less good.

If you still want to gamble then it is better to gamble with the money you have left over, also don't overdo it, for example, when basic needs have been met and there are no more things to pay for then there is money left over that can be used to gamble but you still have to remember boundaries, remember family. Be a smart gambler, when the gambling you do results in a profitable win, don't think too much, withdraw the winnings, don't continue, just be safe, that's better.

When you're married and have children, the level of how you can gambles will differ because you will always have a second thought considering the family and your children bills before putting gambling your priority, even when you decided to gamble, the amount stipulated on your stake will be carefully monitored and limited because of the family needs ahead for any responsible gambler, you will have to maintain the lifestyle of both and manage each other without one being affected, you will gamble and yet still pays for your family bills because you can only afford gambling with the amount of money you are capable of using for gambling, except you want to be an irresponsible gambler.

Well, the children only gamble if parents have excess money and they give their children access to money and the kids use that money to gamble. In case the parents do not have money, how can children gamble? They won't. Even the parents will gamble limited because of limited resources, hence it won't be an issue of children getting influenced by the parents who are excessively involved in gambling. Gambling is not for the poor people.



It's good that his wife knows that her husband is a gambler and I hope she also knows the risk of the gambling. In case, someday, her husband loses a big amount in gambling there will be no surprises for the wife as she already knew that her husband was risky money and it could turn out that he could earn a jackpot and if not, he could also lose all his money. Its better for both partners, husband and wife, to know each other activities and they both should have mutual trust between them.

In my personal opinion, if we have a gambling habit and have a wife and 1 or 2 children, I think the impact depends on how we manage our finances. Because if someone can manage their finances well, even if someone gambles big and has a family, I think they will be fine. Because I personally also have a family, and I don't mind this, even though I like gambling. So I really don't agree if, for example, there is a gambler who feels hampered because he already has children and a wife. Because I have experienced all that and the results are fine.

However, if we discuss whether there is a difference between gambling when you are single and when you have a family? So my answer is Yes, there is. The difference lies in the time factor and also the amount of money that I can use to gamble. Because it cannot be denied that after we start a family, we will definitely share a lot of time. One of them is divided into work time, time with family and also time alone for entertainment such as gambling. So for me, the difference only lies in that factor. And I don't mind that. Because gambling for me is a hobby, and what is called a hobby is of course what I do when I have free time. So the point is that all this time I gambled very comfortably and there were no difficulties or burdensome differences when I had a family. Apart from that, what's interesting is that when I have a family, I can control myself more when gambling (financial and time problems).

So in conclusion, having a family will not have any impact on our gambling activities. The most important thing that we must be able to manage our finances and time better.

A gambler can be a serious addicted to gambling if they can't controls themselves playing gambling. That situation will becomes worst if they don't realize that they must reduce their gambling activity, especially if they have children. Having a children means they must have a responsibility to anything they do because they needs to be wise in whatever they do. They must care with their children so their focus in gambling can be distract because they must take care of their children. Having a children is the important thing for them and they must always take care and not playing gambling too often like before. Their responsibility increase to watch their children so they will not have a free time to playing gambling, especially if their children is still underage.

Every parent has a big responsibility towards their children if they already have children. It's different when they are young and don't limit their gambling when they have children as a parent, you have to be good at managing finances so you don't experience financial problems. Sometimes gambling can cause problems for the family if they can't afford it manage your finances well so it's better to prioritize your children and wife and gambling is number two when we want to do it just for entertainment.

A child is born into a family and since birth he continues to learn various things through the family. If the family can bring him up in a good environment then the education that the child gets through the family in childhood will remain in him for the rest of his life. If in a family both husband and wife gamble and if gambling is always discussed in that family, then the effect of gambling will gradually go to the child and as the child grows up he will find interest in gambling. In order to bring up the children in the right way, I think it is better not to discuss gambling in front of them as it can disturb their mental growth. When the child grows up and has the ability to make decisions, he can gamble as much as he wants, that's another matter, but it's better not to discuss these things with him while he's still a child.

Well, it does, I'm not yet a parent but I might know the feeling when in a family with a strict budget because In this case, I am the child. The economy in a family is crucial the data shows that a lot of divorces happen because of economic instability. If you had gambling addict and can't control budget you better stop right now because it will harm you the kid and your wife, and the whole family.

I have an online friend who never met him in person but he has a wife and one kid he told me that to this date he still plays gambling but with strict budget and his wife know about it. So if your wife know you need to discussed this deeply

Children nowadays are quite advanced. They are able to understand anything easily. Especially if they know little about an addictive activity, they try very hard to do it. I think both sex and gambling appeal to children greatly. Once they find a way, they focus on it. So everyone who is their guardian should be aware so that they are not diverted in different direction. Such situations can be largely avoided if the parents do not expose them to gambling related issues and keep their personal use devices locked with security keys. Children are very curious about any forbidden subject so it is wise to control them carefully.

It would really be just that a matter of choice on which one you would really be prioritizing whether you would really be giving that kind of importance towards your wife and children or you would really be giving out that focus into your gambling activity on which it isnt really that suggested on doing at all or simply its just common sense on whom you would really be giving out that kind of priority.
If you cant be that able to leave out gambling then making a family isnt really still that for you. Once you do engage or tie up yourself on having a family then it would really be just that right
that you would really be leaving out or you should really be lessening up your gambling activity specially now that you do already have other priorities.

We do really need up to realize that spending up on non sensible things isnt something that should be tolerated. We can gamble somehow but come to think that it would really be just that
a waste on spending up on which you could actually spend it up into your family instead.

Yes, by concluding your opinion above, it is indeed a habit of gambling after someone gets married, there are some gamblers who can reduce their bad activities because of the reason that they become a wise and responsible leader in educating and improving the welfare of their wife and children. They try not to gamble excessively anymore, but There are also gamblers who really can't stop after they get married, instead they will play aggressively there, no matter what they do, and obviously this will be a disaster in their marriage relationship.


Of course yes, if a gambler from the start understands well what gambling really is and the impact of the big risks that often occur there then he plays gambling within good limits and rules so that he will only get a small impact from gambling. and non-implementation is a big problem for him.

Basically it is not impossible to lose money because however even if for example they are able to control everything well for the sake of a balance still for the problem of loss they will definitely experience but maybe the difference is that they will not experience a loss of money that is too significant that can make them experience financial problems in their lives and yes it is true that we or anyone should be able to manage, control and put a lot of precautions for a balance if for example we still want to engage in gambling.

I think this is an action that will not be too difficult if for example they come from the beginning by bringing the right understanding of what gambling really is, especially understanding that however gambling is an activity that can be high risk if done in the wrong way and which is not recommended by common sense, because most of the cases that have occurred where gamblers find it difficult to put limits and also control their gambling activities and that is because they come with only seeing the profit opportunities and not by understanding the possible risks.
