Gambling with your parents might be the unusual bonding of the family but I was able to experience this one before.

Will you do the same mistakes of my family or you will keep your kids or even yourself away from gambling?
Gambling with parents aren't look so good no matter what perspective you look it. Parents shouldn't tolerate nor influence their family members as it might cause financial problem (specially if you're just an average person). In the future, I wouldn't do the same mistakes if ever my parents did that so. Kids shouldn't learn to gamble.

I never did that in my life,because it will be awkard to gamble with our parents imagine what will happen if we lost huge money in bets. Shocked

Bringing friends to gambling can be a better idea they might stop us at the right time than parents.

I think it's considered a little bit weird to gamble with your parents in our culture (western Europe), at least when you're talking about traditional gambling like at casinos.
We do play card games with little amounts of money, which is pretty socially accepted, but I wouldn't really call that gambling.

The stakes are usually less than 1 euro and you don't really play it to win money.

Neither of my parents are interested in gambling. We used to play card games when I was younger but those never involved any form of betting. I love playing poker so maybe those card games have planted a seed Grin.

We used to host card games in our house when I was young. We invite friends and relatives during weekends to play poker and other card games in our house. It is usually long hours, from the afternoon until dawn the next day. It is just a way to get together and enjoy good company. I think if you have self-control, you will not get addicted to it. We turned out okay.

Gambling will always involve money and as a son I will never bet with my parents. Moreover my parents aren't gamblers and I have never told them about my gambling activities. It would be impolite and it would seem strange here if a son gambled at one table with their parents.
That doesn't mean it's bad for everyone of us, maybe that's how you see it but for other people it would be alright.
Maybe the culture differences would answer this, in my case my father is a gambler, and I also gamble, so we understand each other.
Maybe you are right, there's cultures who permitted this kind of an act, gambling is not good as I already suffer way back and I feel OP's sentiment, losing money is stressful to the point that you'll forget all your obligations just to play the game, it's needed a lots of time and encouragement from different people before you can move away and stop this bad habits.

After suffering from this, I will be furious not to allow any members of my family to do the same mistake, learning from a lesson, it would leave the mark behind and be remember as part of my past life.

Gambling with your parents might be the unusual bonding of the family but I was able to experience this one before.

In my place, you can gamble on the wake which is normal and a form of sympathy. I was young that time and my dad was playing on the other table called "Mahjong", my Mom was playing "Bingo", and I'm playing card game (Tong-its) that time and it looks like my whole family are playing and aiming to win some money

When I grew up, gambling becomes our source of happiness but suddenly becomes our worst enemy because honestly my parents got separated because of gambling and until now they blame the addiction of my dad. I'm old enough now to realize that was a biggest mistake of my family, to let that addiction ruin our family. I promise to myself not to be like my dad, I will not expose my kids into gambling.

Will you do the same mistakes of my family or you will keep your kids or even yourself away from gambling?

I will not even try to introduce gambling to any members of my family because I know where it could lead to, first they will find it exciting and then they will try it outside of your home, once they found out it's even more exciting, they will now bet with real money until they become addicted to it, gambling should not be part of your family, and do not encourage any member of your family to become gamblers.

That is what I am thinking too because they are not a gambler and if they caught me for a gamble, I could not imagine what they will do to me and perhaps, I will be expelled from home.

But perhaps, in other places, it is normal to have a sit together with their parents and play the same games and use the money they have. I think it will be fun and exciting to play with them especially if we are competing with them and if we can be the winner, we can buy some food to eat together with them.

I don't call it a gamble but only a fun game for having a little bonding time with my parents. We bet for household chores and not with real money. This way we can enjoy the game without having to think about losing money since we are a family.
If that's the reason, then its ok to have fun with your family but in my case its totally different because of money separated us.

It's stupidity if you will allow same thing to happen with your family, knowing the possible outcome will allow you not to suffer with the same fate like yours, family and is very important to me, i will never exposed my kids with gambling even I'm doing it to find some enjoyment, but not with my kids never will happen.
Yes, I've learned a lot from my past experience and I will also not allow my kinds to do this. I'm better now since I was able to gamble not for money anymore buy to have fun with my friends and do some play online. My kids will never know gambling, not until they've reach the real age.

I also experience this one before but not to the extent that my family got broke because of gambling. If i also have my family in the future i will never let them seat beside me, because I want them to be more responsible and gambling is just my past time so technically I will not expose my kids into this kind of environment.

It would never happen in my family!

The reason why gambling with my parents will never happen just because my parents already learned the lessons that gambling would ruin a person's life. Honestly, both of my parents were victims of gambling addiction causing them to experience being an extremely broke person.

My grandfather sold his house and assets because of the said addiction. My mother did not learn and also tried gambling in casinos. Ended up being a broke person. Now that they already learned their lessons, they taught us not to gamble so much and if you really want to gamble then a 10% of your savings each month is the maximum allowed cash to bet in gambling.

We use to play rummy card game with family lot of time but their is no money involved it is just a fun game, so till now their was no problem with it. so i think until you are playing for fun their wont be problem, when the money is involved in it the real problem starts it. In the starting it will be fun but when some one lost lot of money then automatically it will become serious. So their should not be any money involved when playing with family

Actually gambling with parents is not bad idea as long as the main purpose is to have some fun together. The mistake that happened in your family is the addiction, actually you have the right to control your father if you know that he is doing more than what he should do. Sorry to hear about your story of your parents got separated because of the addiction although actually it should not happen as your family should have better ways to solve the problem instead of decided to break the relationship.
To be honest, my father was a gambler as well and I knew gambling from him but I do not want the same thing happen to my kids. They may learn by themselves but I wont show to them that I'm a gambler.

This is funny though. How can you convince your kids that you are not a gambler by any means? Are you going to physical casino nowadays or just sticking to online casinos? It is easy to hide that you are a gambler via online casinos but going to actual casino, I bet it is hard to keep it as a secret.  Tongue

Gambling with parents is fun if you are doing that for entertainment purposes only but if the situation extends more than that, then, I would say the ending would be really bad and sad..

In my place, you can gamble on the wake which is normal and a form of sympathy.
That's fascinating, and I mean that.  In the states, wakes are usually morbid affairs with lots of crying and no celebrating of life, which is what the living ought to be doing as well as mourning the deceased.  Might I inquire as to what country you are from?
I'm pretty sure it's Philippines, gamble on the wake is like traditional of Filipino even kids can play "lucky 9" or "unggoy-unggoyan", and if you play a gamble on wake you need to "tong" (I don't know what the English words for this) it's like if you keep winning you need to give little money to the relative of death.

If it's for fun only then this is not an unusual thing to experience at least you do experience the bonding of a family or even gambling with friends. It is unusual if a family would gamble seriously with their own blood continuously but if it is really for fun then it is a nice thing to happen.

I think there is a specification on this. Gambling with family will be best in bowling and there is this what they call “peria” in my place where different kinds of classic gambling like dice, tossing coins, darting and a lot more can be found every time festivals are approaching and not serious gambling like casinos and other card games which involve big amount of money and of course parents must play responsively and will be keeping an eye on the children’s direction too.
