In fact, it's not all that clear-cut. There are some gamblers who did not become wiser or more responsible after children appeared in their family. There are quite a few stories when the head of the family, addicted to gambling, left his children, who can not take care of themselves, alone at home, and disappeared into the casino for several hours. Therefore, having children makes someone wiser and more responsible, and someone does not, and rather everything depends on the person himself, not on the fact of having children in the family.

Yes that's right, however depending on how the person is or I mean it all depends on the personality of the person, the situation can be as you said that it is a possibility that after having children or after having a family someone still does not care about something that should be their responsibility and some are normal in the sense that they become more responsible and all of this depends on how the personality is and also how severe the level of their involvement in gambling is.

I think you may have seen or read elsewhere about a father who left his toddler at home alone to go to a casino to gamble, and clearly this is behavior and actions that reflect that he is a family man who is so irresponsible that he would risk the life of his own child just to gamble.

Not all people would really be that responsible in regarding about their actions on which there would really be still those people who would really be sticking into their principles or ideas in mind despite on having
their own family on which it would really be that a common approach that they would really be that sticking on playing gambling or something that they've been getting used to despite on having that new
responsibilities in life. Gambling or putting up focus into that despite on having a family? You are really that just basically putting up your family into such issues when it comes to finances.

We do know that when it comes to gambling then you are really that spending tons of money on which if you do have a family then this is something much needed when it comes to budgeting.
If you are a parent but ended up on cutting those expenses just because you are playing gambling and your family doesnt have that proper way of living when it comes to clothes, food
and other basic needs then you are just that showing on how irrresponsible you are.

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?

Yes it's not easy to have children and you have low or no source of income, you might be looking for where you can be getting money, even if it's through betting but it's your partner know of your betting behaviours? It's essential to be honest and open about your gambling habits, especially if they're harming your financial circumstances. If you're having trouble controlling your gambling, you should get treatment from a psychotherapist or gambling counsellor. They may provide you support and direction as you make better choices. If you're having trouble finding balance in your life, talk to a therapist or counsellor about your stress and how to handle it better. Finally, taking care of yourself and striking a healthy balance are critical to being a good parent and making sound judgments. When you're worried and weary, dealing with gambling losses can be much more difficult.

Yes there are losses that's hard to bear when you have a family as you'll regret making the bet as you know that you have lost a huge money that could have being used to handle some bills in the family. Having a family makes you very responsible as you now have kids and if you were an irresponsible gambler, you'll begin to find it difficulty to play as you'll be losing money but you don't want to lose money that can be used to do something for your family to have a better life.

If you're already a responsible gambler and you're gambling with only your spare money, you wouldn't find it hard to continue gambling when you have a family. You'll only have to reduced your gambling capital by reducing the amount of your spare money that you use in gambling. Having a family makes you more responsible therefore it'll help you more to watch how you're spending your money.

Strong finances can make it easier for you to continue your gambling habit and also be a responsible parent. Here finances play an important role, as parents who are responsible for their children and their families must be able to look after their finances well in order to prevent problems from occurring in the future.

It doesn't matter if you continue your gambling habit as long as you have enough responsibility for your children and wife. If I were in a position where my finances were tight, I would try to sacrifice my habit for a while to be a responsible parent. The desire to gamble can still be postponed until you have sufficient finances, but the family's primary needs cannot be postponed, such as daily expenses for kitchen needs, children's school needs and other unexpected needs.

I assume for responsible gamblers, having children could cause them to gamble less because they can’t afford to gamble like they used to. It all depends on personal circumstances though, if you earn a lot you may be able to continue gambling as you did previously.

The whole of the discussion is on the financial capacity of the gambler I think with your angle too because at the end of the day it is about the money that is used in gambling. If a gambler who has got some financial capacity, he can continue in his gambling habit whether the man is married or not. There are married men who buy two cars at same time while others can't afford one and at same time he maintains the two and changes into new cars if he wish. So likewise in gambling, it depends on the financial capacity of the husband that is what matters.

We should not be selfish and be the only family member who enjoy gambling, that is why we should introduce it to kids Cheesy

I am joking Cheesy

People here have strange vision on life. When children appear, then we must dedicate every single second, every single cent to the kid. Dont you think that it is way to much? For example I spend a lot of time with my family and specially with the kid. There was never "I am busy" for the kid from me. Family isnt starving. We are all well dressed. We travel a lot. We arent in need of money. So why should I then drop all my hobbies and activities? For me it seems, that many think, when kid is busy doing something on his own, parents must either work, or stand will and wait when the kid has free time. So that they can immediately do something together.

Of course my without that rare gambling habit has changed. I will never go all-in with my or family entire savings. But I would not do the same even without having a child.

Your joke is good, friend.
"The family didn't starve. We all dressed nicely. We traveled a lot. We didn't need money."
Are you sure about this friend? I think that to do or fulfill all of that we have to use money, so that the family doesn't starve, we have to buy food or basic necessities which are the main need for survival, and to be able to wear nice clothes, I also think that requires money because it doesn't matter. maybe we make it ourselves, even if we make it ourselves we have to use capital. and to travel anyway, I think you need money for supplies, or preparation.
It's true that it's impossible for parents to watch their children all day long, because they also have to work to make money. isn't that right, friend?
If you already have children, it is better for us to limit our gambling activities if we really like gambling. Don't let your family become neglected because we only think about our habits, which is not the right behavior. we have to pay attention to our family, and don't gamble if you don't have money.

It belongs to responsible generations, just thinking about having another member as well as the care process, it is enough to show how busy and until the child is born, our time will belong to the child, we cannot hide and go out at our convenience like in the past, gambling habits must disappear until the child becomes an adult and just thinking like that, the gambler no longer has a concept of continuing on this path. However, in some unwanted cases, the child becomes a burden for the gambler and it is also one of the few causes of divorce for a family.

Every parent definitely has a responsibility towards their child, no exception for parents who like to gamble. Maybe that could be a way for gamblers to reduce their activities because there are more important things they have to do than just gambling. It is even possible that the demands of parental responsibility could actually eliminate their gambling habits.

However that only applies to parents who see responsibility in that perspective because for those who cannot understand their role and status as parents, the presence of children in their lives will not change what has become their habit, or even they will deliberately ignore that responsibility to not interfere with their gambling hobby.

Being a parent who knows you have responsibilities should not influence your gambling habit; rather, what it should make the person do is reschedule their hustle and look for means for their earnings to increase, not for them to start making more gambling.

Gambling is not a means to make money, as it should never be considered a source of income, but rather a means to pass time and possibly make some little winnings and profit.

Instead of just focusing on making more gambling, the person should even reduce their gambling habit and the amount of time they spend gambling.

Still for some it is tough and it will be difficult for them to balance both eventually leading to dysfunctional families.

Surely taking care of a family is not an easy task and with a larger home, it becomes more difficult to do so you just have to cut down from gambling expenses. Moreover, gambling itself is not really profitable for total average of gamblers so most likely family people also lose their bet too .

It could lead to break in homes which will take more resources, time and apologies to come back especially if you have a wife who has warned the husband off it and he refused, she might take a drastic decision to leave the home and that will definitely affect the man or the children whose growing up will be full of pain and lack of parental control of either the father or mother depending on whose arm they eventually grew in.

That's true, it should not be all that easy, we should probably consider that having a big family needs to take a first priority when we are talking about something like that. If you plan on having a family like that then you should not worry about anything else.

I hope that we could see something changing, like you get so rich that you can take care of your entire family AND still end up being able to actually gamble as well. That could still happen, like imagine a person who makes a million dollars a year, that dude could gamble 10k dollars a year and still take care of his family without a doubt, that's the important part. So, either you need to be only responsible for yourself, or you need to earn enough to take care of your family and still have enough leftover to gamble.

this will go two ways (as how I see it many times before) and these are those ways

- They will lessen their gambling habit or at least their spending because they are having priorities .

- They will gamble more in desperation to make more money to sustain their family needs .

so yeah there is an influence that will trigger each of them.

IMHO, your gambling habit changes when you're a parent already. When you're in tight budget and even you want to gamble, you just can't. Because if you've got a toddler or a baby that needs some supplies like milk, diapers and other important things then all you have to prioritize is your kid's need before anything else. But I feel bad for the kids that has gambler parents that has the mindset that they might be able to grow their money through gambling and using the money for the milk into bankroll. That's how some of the gambler parents think and it's not too appropriate anymore to think like that because they have bigger obligations unlike before when they have no kids to attend their needs. So, for the gambler parents out there, please prioritize your children before yourself. I know that it's hard to resist but you've chosen your life and your kids didn't choose you but you choose to make them.

I do not have children yet but I do support my family financially. It's a heavy responsibility since my sibling is still on college and I support for his tuition fee. My salary may not be that big but I still manage to gamble with only 2 to 5 percent from my salary, so it's not a big deal for me if I lose when I play. As what they always say, gamble with what you afford to lose. I always set my own budget to gamble and stick to it no matter I win or lose. I do not want to exceed from that budget since, from what I have mentioned that I support my family. Family is much more important than gambling.

This life is just so unbalanced, for you to have peace at your old age you need to make money, not just this alone, if you don't raise your children well you won't have peace, the moment you decide to bring kids into this world is the beginning of a whole new headache and worries, like seriously, when will one rest for real?

Parenting is not for everybody, you need to be sure that you are ready, and some choose not to have any kids, I don't just know how this will end for them when they get older, because kids are meant to take care of their parents when they are old.

Now think about if you don't raise them well, it was when I grow older that I finally understood why my father was a bit harsh on us when we were young, I hated the harsh side of him but it all helped, maybe I would have been useless if he never get harshly.

Teach your kids the right thing, dont ever call a white color a black for them, because they have trust in you and they will take it so serious, do not mislead them, what is wrong has no other name than wrong, gambling isn't something your child should learn from you, there is a chance this will bring you more shame than glory in the future.

I agree.I used to gamble much more when I was single and in these last years that I put up family I don't overdo it anymore and am very careful to not spend more than I can afford to because I always think about my child now,as for my wife I don't care much Grin

.

If I had more money of course I would gamble more as gambling for me is one of life greatest pleasures especially when I hit a huge slot multiplier.

Everyone will be like that when they are single and don't have any responsibilities towards their family needs, but there are also many who when they have family still gamble excessively and they don't really care about their family needs.
This is one of the attitudes of gambling addict, I have also done it but that was in the past and there were many things that made me feel disappointed and also lost many valuable things so I realized that family is the most important thing.
Some people who still gamble excessively even though they have family may be able to change and recover from their addiction if they have experienced the same thing as me where they are at breaking point and many serious problems are starting to emerge as result of gambling.

From the attitude you take, it is very good, you can still have responsibilities with the family you have built, children are everything, even as father he is willing to do anything for his children.
There must be consideration of the resources we can have, if it is just enough to live life then we must be able to take backseat to pleasure because the main priority is to support and meet the needs of the family.

Yes it can especially if they are still young and going to school. There's a budget for everything so you cannot just spend any amount that you want. Having responsibilities can change everything and that includes our bad habits. When it comes to alcoholic beverages, I already lessened my consumption because I think about the budget. The wife lets me buy my drinks but not to the extent that I will have something everyday. 3-4 beers per week or just 1 bottle of brandy. Cheesy

I am still thankful that I can have those, and the same goes for my gambling activities. I don't go to casino games anymore, I just spend my money in sports because I have a higher chance to win there.

By making adjustments to our expenses, we can still enjoy gambling activities as usual. After all, if our goal in gambling is just to have fun in our free time, that shouldn't be a problem. We just spend our free time gambling and don't need to gamble too often.

Yes, it's true that for normal gamblers there may be a change in their gambling habits when they have children, so it's important to limit your budget and expenses so that you don't overdo it when gambling. On average, normal gamblers will usually think of gambling as just entertainment, but for someone who is addicted to gambling, they will He thinks it's different because he wants to make money, so it's difficult for a gambling addict to change his habits, but it will actually harm himself and his family, including his children.

Everyone should be able to control themselves when they have a child, they should be able to think more clearly not to spend money on gambling, but spend more money on being with their family or children. Luckily I have a wife who is good at managing my budget by gambling on weekends so I don't go overboard. limits when gambling, so I can still control myself, besides since having children I limit my gambling time less because for me it is important to spend time with my children and wife, let alone family. Don't just because we gamble, we ignore the people around us.

If they can realize that children's needs are more important than gambling, they will reduce funds for gambling and provide a larger portion for children's needs. They will think about the child's needs because that will be important for them. But if they don't do it, they really have made a mistake because they consider gambling more important.

After all, gambling is just entertainment and not for making money. We must determine when to gamble and when to be with our family. Everything must be balanced so that no disturbances occur in our lives. By constantly paying attention to our family's and others' needs, we can live life well.

By trying always to control ourselves, we can manage everything well. Even gambling, we have time, so it doesn't interfere with our other activities. If we can't manage it yet, we must keep trying until we can.

When we have a family, in my opinion, we should focus more on our family relationships, even though we don't have children but if we are married, I think we should put aside our habits, especially habits like gambling that only allow us to lose money, because otherwise there may often be problems with family relationships because of unstable finances that are only spent on our gambling habits. Unless you can make consistent profits, but with gambling, there is no profit that can be obtained consistently. But maybe there are people who still prioritize their gambling habits even though they are married, but maybe there will be more frequent conflicts. That's the fear.

It's true what you said, if we still like to do gambling habits and we and we are at the point where we have to have a family or a habit then what will happen is most likely that we choose our habits, because I often find when families have problems they end up separating because they prioritize their own ego, that's what I often find including in my environment. Also what I'm afraid of in my opinion is that this habit can be passed on to our children later, it's terrible because it will damage their future.

Family is the foundation. Family first; its common sense. This gambling position is risky. I know everyone wants success, but gambling is rigged. Think you'll win big? The house always wins. You lose money, and thats just the beginning. Financial stress wrecks the best households.

Its about priorities. Married people put their spouse and family first. Not usual. Gambling is a losing habit you cant afford. Stories of consistent wins? Deception-based fairy tales. Family breakdowns often result from conflicts. The truth is sad.

Now for something more serious: our children's future. Fear of harmful behaviors being handed on is real. We must protect their future and be role models. Breaking bad habits and choosing stability over destruction is necessary. Trust me - your family and a stable future are the greatest wins and beat any risky gamble.

I agree with you, financial pressure will have a bad impact on family relationships, if we really like gambling then it must be done in moderation, don't gamble excessively, especially when you already have your own family relationship because as you said, family is the foundation, therefore it is impossible for gambling and family to have the same level, especially if gambling is above family, that is wrong, of course family is the most important thing in life. We have to be aware that gambling is not completely fun, every now and then it will mess up our feelings because the fact that the host will always win, that cannot be denied.

as I said above, it is impossible for family to have the same level as gambling, of course family has a higher level and with that we must be able to prioritize family over gambling habits, don't raise your ego, because that will only be a problem in the future. We have to think about our own family. If we don't have children, that doesn't mean we don't have to think about the future, we still have to think about the future and prepare for it. including the future birth of a child who will be our responsibility as head of the family.

The answer typically is, that no one knows until the gambler reaches that stage of having children or generally, a family.

Some people will change their habits once they already established a family, especially if there are children, while on the other hand, some will just remain in their habit like nothing happened and no need for any adjustment.

Supposedly, maturity should be improved once we already have our responsibilities and if we talk about having our own family, but unfortunately others are immature. It's not that we need to stop gambling at all but there should be a good change once we make our own family.
