Topic: Gambling by financial dependents. - page 16. (Read 4202 times)

Some casinos allow 18 years old to gamble, but others prefer to let those who are 18 years old above play just to be on the safer side of the law. So it really depends on where you are residing. However, since it's a matter of parenting, I believe that as long as you are still living within the same roof as your parents, meaning you are still under their care and everything is still being provided for you by them, it's just right to abide by their rules. Their house, their rules.

At 18 years old, if you really want to make decisions on your own, you can move out and live the life that you want without being monitored or dictated by anyone. Be independent if you want to sustain your gambling desires. But if you can't, then just stop. After all, a weekly allowance is still given by the parents. It's not as if you earned them.

this problem will be a little related to other threads related to hiding gambling activities from the public, but here it is very good for families or minors. as we have often discusse, gambling activities really need to be taken seriously by user. I mean it would be better to gamble in the right place, such as an offline casino, or if you use an online gambling site, keep this activity hidden from minors so that it does not have a negative impact on the child.
we all know that minors do not have good emotional control, even adults still break these rules and we really need to understand that healthy mindset is the best not to involve anyone when gambling.

That's why it is really important for adults to hide or just avoid doing things that they don't want their children to do in the near future. If the adults do the things that younger generations shouldn't be doing, young ones will think that it's okay to do things such as gambling. Wherein, this may be the cause of their problems sooner or later.

Yes, usually gamblers will follow the people around them, for example their parents, family and friends because usually people will imitate the way they gamble or see them. It's true what you said, I saw a family of gamblers who lived close to my house and their children often gambled because His parents or father often gambled on the lottery but his son enjoyed playing slot gambling.

But this gambling family also has a business, it seems that even though their gambling family is still under control, they don't even appear to have gone bankrupt and it seems they have their own budget so they don't get addicted or have special methods so they don't become addicts, as far as I can see they gamble at night and trade during the day. and do business. but maybe this will be a correct or good example for other gambling families.

Your opinion is absolutely correct, we as parents should provide good understanding when children are still at an early age, because they will do whatever they see from their behavior or what their parents do every day. Even though we gamble secretly with the aim of not being discovered by our children, I think it is the right step, and when he grows up, we will slowly give him an understanding and tell him about what gambling is and the impact of gambling. that if he is involved in gambling he has had good or bad experiences from his parents when gambling.

At this time every child imitates his parents. Generally parents encourage the things that are good for the child and parents discourage their children which are bad. When a child sees his father gambling, that child will also be encouraged to gamble because that child will think that what he is doing must be a good for him. Moreover at that time the child will not be able to understand good and bad. So every parent should not give their children any idea about gambling. When children become adults they must be able to understand what would be the best for him.

This is why it's better to train your children so well and also connect with them to know what they are listening to and learning from external influences. This helps to find a way to prevent them from getting exposed to what they should not be exposed to. If not, it will be difficult for you to correct them later. Even with your concluding narration, it still doesn't matter if they will learn from experience, that would be the beginning for some, and after losing, they will continue to look for money to play again and again until they become more addicted and more irresponsible gamblers.

For now the kid will not listen yet to an advice from people with experience. He may have some money he saved for his gambling but those cash still comes from his parents. He still has lots of things to experience before his enlightenment.

A person sometimes need to lose and hit the rock bottom to realize he had done it wrong. Thats when the time he gets to listen for others opinion and options.

It is true that mothers are more close to their sons but when it comes to habitual matters like games and gambling it becomes different. My sons rarely listen to their mother when she says they should stop playing with their cellphones late at night. I think the era of young people today is very different than my era and that should be considered in how we will have a discussion with our sons.
I like that the nephew is saving money for his own habit and I think what should be done is to make him calculate how much he is losing and how much he could've saved if only he didn't risk it to gambling. That way he will have an idea about the financial things and maybe tell him what he could've bought with all that money if only he had not spent it on gambling.
That kind of thinking actually opened my eyes to not taking high-risk gamble but that is only for zero returns like gambling, it's different when it comes to investing.

I happened to witness such behaviors in our neighborhood back then where my friend's parents are gamblers though they only bet a small amount of money, they are constantly doing it almost every day, and going to their place eventually lead you to fall into their habits. I remember when I got there, I found myself playing with them and their parent with other people who had been raised that way. The environment is really important when raising your children because there is only a small probability that your children do not fall into the same hobbies as the people around them.

Any underaged person must stay away from gambling, also anyone who is not ready to work and earn his money to use it for gambling or other things should also keep off the gambling zone, why i said all these is because we have to help those children growing up be on the right path to being a successful person in life and they must start by learning creative things, changing of mental reasonings, children or any person but earning already should not be found gambling because the first question to ask is where they find money used in gambling.

Being polite is one of the ways good decisions can be accepted and we don't even have to use derogatory words that could make the person you feel less of themselves and 8f that kind of scene happens again, the person is not going to open up on there problem ever again. Financial dependent on ourselves is something we need to work on so that the challenges of life is not going to affect us in diverse ways. Gambling is one of the ways people make money and these had been a easier path for people to make bets and become profitable to pay there bills and live a good lifestyle.

I don't understand this sort of logic, if someone has very little money and they gamble - it quickly disappears. If he has money on a Friday and is somehow draw to spend it all on gambling, then it'll probably be gone by Friday night. After that point, where is he getting money from if he has no one source of income? If she is concerned that he is getting into this sort of trouble with gambling, then she should stop giving him cash and tell him to get a job if he wants to waste his money on that, sometimes tough love is the only way to teach people. If he wants to start growing into a responsible adult, now is the time he should be thinking about getting a job if he is not in any further education.

Just let them be on having the taste of that reality on which this is something that would really be making them realize that it was never been that possible on making constant profits or winning in gambling.
There are really people who are really that hard headed on which they wont really be tending to hear out someones advices even if their own parents or loved on on which it would really be that pretty useless on doing so.
This is why it would really be just that self realizations or learnings would really be the only key for them to be able to completely stop and find out the real thing about gambling. This isnt something that would really be giving out that income that you are expecting or making yourself rich with it. If you do play for the sake of entertainment then its fine but on the time that you do play for the sake of making profits or source of money
then it would really be an another story. There are really people who do have that kind of level of understanding and realizations on things which there are ones who could not and this is where these type of people
do really falls down into those conditions or situations on which they do really find themselves to be on a tough situation on the time that they experience those real things that could happen in dealing with
too much gambling.

When a problem like this emerges up it is important to not take an accusatory tone as if the parent does this then the kid is not going to want to share their problems related to this topic ever again, and this is dangerous, as we are talking about a young person which is just taking their first steps on the world and they are bound to make a lot of mistakes, and while there are many mistakes that are harmless, there are others which can have heavy consequences down the line and we need to avoid them as much as possible.

Totally not a welcome development for dependents, irrespective of the age.

Until you are of age to earn a living, consider whatever you get financially as an investment in your life, and as with investments, all investors are expecting a reward for their investments. Consider an investor who committs money to a drain and expects to have it back, not even the invested sum is guaranteed, needless to consider a profit on that investment.

Gambling, although may be favorable to some, but still remains a channel through which people loose funds on an average, it should not be encouraged and mostly by people who are yet to know the pains it takes to earn a living.

Your nephew's mom should be able to have an opened and honest conversation with her son. It should be a heart to heart conversation where the son his sincere about his gambling and the mother is opened about her expectations from him.

Sons always loves and listens to their mother. This is the time for her to be very involved. If she is able to create a space where he can freely talk about anything with her then she has nothing to worry about because right there she has proven to him that he can turn to her for support in case he begins to struggle with gambling.

But today,the love for money has made many who are not financially competent go into gambling without thinking of the after math of it.They do not care whether addiction follows it all not,all that matters at that point is that they need to make the money,and they need it by all means.One who has not gambled before,and he is been influenced by friends because I believe most things people start today are based on influence by their friends,thinks that gambling is what one can leave or stop whenever he or she wants,but the reverse is the case in gambling,the more you try to stop,the more you tend to play more because you will always lose and want to recover your money.If there was a way in which one can turn back the hands of time,many people would have quitted gambling for long,but it isn't as easy as thought.

IMHO, that's a negative thing. First, they're still students although I have gambled when I was still a student but never came up with such huge amount but that won't change the fact that I did during schooling days. Since I was quite good enough in controlling myself, I did came up to this type of problem. Whilst in today's generation, there have been problematic gamblers and much surprising that they're still students.

Every parent wishes their children to study very well but the environment that student is living with could have been the problem and has influenced him with gambling. Well, probably not that bad people at all but the practice of gambling and influencing has gone wrong and resulted into the student being problematic gambler without even a job and his own money to support his vice.

Do you think gambling activities are a positive thing for unemployed students? I don't see any negative or positive points of view, I think gambling is a choice. However, gambling has an addictive effect, so if gambling activities are carried out by people who do not work, it will be quite dangerous. I think for now it's best for the kid to study and maybe take lessons, maybe his mother wants him to do that. Gambling could be done later, when he could make money
