Topic: Have you consider yourself, the family and gambling? - page 2. (Read 1246 times)

May be that time when I will have no right to stop them. I mean when they will be not in under age when they will learn their money management and of course when they will able to earn by their self. In case of my pocket money, I will never allow them to play gambling. When they have to also know the key word, "gambling what you can afford" before starting their  earning by own self I don't thing they afford to play gamble.

In those age when I won't be be able to afford money for gambling and also as well as mentally healthy position, because I think their is nothing wrong to play gambling if a man in a mentally stable position and also can afford to lose the amount what he want to bet.
We are human and I think until we die, no matter how much wealth we own in the world, we will not reach our satisfied level, in that case, when we win a bet or jackpot of a large amount, we will say that another person has got more than that.

This particular of your I think about the gambling have to do with understanding and the teaching your offsprings gambling is something that is not encouraging and before you come imported the knowledge of gambling to a children I think that there was to be up to age is not supposed for a gambler to come up with its own biological children also be a gambler at the tender age I don't think that from my own perspective it is right and it is well emulate from my own perspective in gambling, a gambler suppose to understand the protocols not to extend to its families

Setting an age for kids to start? It's more about teaching responsibility than picking a number. Quitting? It's about recognizing when it's becoming a problem. As for satisfaction, it's hit or miss, but managing expectations helps.

This kind of awareness is necessary, not considering gambling as the main income or becoming addicted because of gambling,
so that the initial purpose as entertainment will not make gambling the main source of income.

Gambling is indeed a means of entertainment for some people,
but for those who are too addicted will make gambling as income and become their main reason why they intensely do gambling.

There is not even a guarantee whether they will continue to win or even lose.
Because the risk of loss will be greater when no full control on financial management is used

1. I will try to make it more interesting for my child to spend his free time in other entertainments than gambling.

2. Difficult question, as it is more difficult to give up gambling than it seems.

3. I have been gambling for more than half of my life. I can't say that it has led me to any problems, but to be honest it hasn't produced any noticeable results.

4. I don't think that if I didn't gamble something would change in my life.

1. Honestly, I hope my child doesn't become a gambler. That's not really a good thing. I mean gambling has a high risk of addiction. I think it's the same as cigarettes in that I don't want my child to become a smoker. If I had to say permission then I never allow my kids. Sorry if this is not the right answer.

2. I am not a gambling addict. So sometimes I play, sometimes I can take a break for a few weeks.

3. Gambling is the same as alcohol or cigarettes. It will give me satisfaction and stress relief. Winning the jackpot might have a good impact on my finances because I don't have to use my salary to make a deposit. But I have never made a withdrawal from the casino.

4. I don't have an answer for this. Sorry.

I love this questions and I'll give my opinion about them. Well, for the first question I think the general age for gambling in most countries is 18+ which is an adult age, when the child gets to that age, they have a right to make their own choices and as a parent I won't force my child in making or quitting any decisions rather I'll guide them to make the right decisions and advice them when I think they're making the wrong ones.

 Well as for the age of quitting gambling, i don't think there's any age for that, an individual is expected to quit when they're not benefiting from it. Well for the third question, I don't gamble very often but I've made good profits from it, especially from sports betting since I follow football games. No not really, I don't take gambling as my major source of getting money I have other major sources of income and I only gamble for entertainment or when my favourite teams are playing and if I when I smile and when I lose I don't get very emotional cause it expected, you either win or lose.

I have never allowed my child to be involved in the gambling industry and have never given permission for him to gamble, for any reason.
My principle is that my child must not be in the same position as me, he must be superior to me and the bad things I do must not be known to my child, including gambling.

When talking about stopping gambling, maybe I don't know at what age, the point is that I stopped gambling when I couldn't do it anymore.

There is, I have forgotten where, what is clear is that I was satisfied at that time when I won.

Don't know, what am I missing.

I got your entire idea on this, which i could as interpreted as this, there are things we cannot do without, even though they cost us, we don't mind as long as gambling is one of those things that we found pleasure in doing, but we may try to restrict our children from it because they may get the whole idea wrong and misbehave at the cause, gambling is what we have to understand right before starting, because there are things we have to bear in mind concerning it as well as things to avoid, the kind of mistakes we made, we may not allow our own children to follow after same by doing the wrong things except they are completely independent on their own.

If it is very true, when a person gives himself to the bears by not giving himself to his children, he turns out to be irresponsible, that is why there are now so many youth full of drugs and debauchery in the world that one should not take responsibility , that is a mistake. of parents, when a child or a minor under 18 years of age is under the guardianship of their parents, parents must do more than that of a police officer, they must supervise absolutely everything, because as parents we must have rights over them, and in That is the education they receive at home, the values they should have and above all the things that are framed so that they can be men and women who Contribute to the world, then everything starts from home, if the Children are if they are not given the required Attention , through the web, through friends, they will find it and take it without a doubt, otherwise if we focus on neglecting them, we cannot complain after any kind of thing happens, including tragedies.

Educating children is not from an early age, but when you choose a life partner who you will make your wife and mother of your children, because for a child, home is his first school and a mother is his first teacher. Therefore, before getting married, it would be better for us to be wise in choosing a life partner, because marriage is not temporary but once in a lifetime. But on the other hand, we also shouldn't be selfish, where we want to have a good life partner, but we ourselves don't try to qualify ourselves to be good future fathers too. And if you find that at this time we still have bad behavior, are not able to control ourselves and our emotions well, and still like to spend a lot of money on things that are uncertain (gambling), then slowly get rid of these bad characteristics and behavior, and continue to try to become a better person.

Training a child or children is not an easy task, sometimes what you have planned installed for them is not actually what they will go with. I have seen children still get spoiled with their mentality or their moral upbringing. Children are complex and open minded at some certain stage in their life and also wanting a little bit of influence by their peer is always done by most of these keys so even being introvert doesn't help you because the children can turn out differently from what they feel is right on their own part.

Gambling is dangerous, as a father, but that's not a reason to quit. What matters is the cautiousness of the player, he shouldn't get too attached to the game. Having a family is a better advantage to him, and a means of being focused on grooming his home and having less time to gamble. Some gamblers who were too attached to gambling should see it as a time detach. As more responsibility is now on board. Hence, looking out for the children and spouse is the duty now. Gambling profusely at this time is quite wrong. Unfortunately, some players carry the habit over to their homes and tend to destroy the happiness in the house. However, not everyone can control those impulses to reduce their gambling habit as a married player.

In a situation like this, the player should open up to his spouse, for help. Mainly I see marriage as an advantage to the player. However, not all players tend to utilize this opportunity. Being single as a gambler seems riskier to me, in terms of addiction. Unlike a married person who has people around him to take care of him. Things change along the line in the life of every gambler. Good or bad. Considering our home is crucial as gamblers because they matter much more than the casino. Those funds should be used for the kid's upbringing. Spare cash can be thrown into gambling.

Maybe when someone can control and regulate these activities well then gambling will not be a problem. However, when someone tries to use gambling as a shortcut to improve their family's financial situation, then this is clearly wrong behavior, because the final results of gambling cannot be relied on. Instead of gambling being able to improve their financial situation, in the end this activity actually worsens their financial situation, where their needs are not met at all and the money they have is used up on gambling because they have started to become addicted to gambling. In the end, this behavior can cause disharmony in a household relationship, and possibly result in divorce.

And it's true what you said that as much as possible when we gamble, never gamble in front of our children, because perhaps gambling could be a bad example for them (children), with their very high curiosity, children. Children often try everything adults do, including gambling.

I won't support my child gambling. What I would do is only to educate him on the dangers and negativity of gambling at an early age.  Educating them early is the best thing any parent can do for there wards.
This will instill the fear in them from a early age, thus will debunk any later information they  come across.

In essence what your ward hear you preach,  is what they will follow.

And you think once your child starts gambling he/she will be sincere with you all the way? You must be joking if that is what you think. For a child to be so sincere with the parent after starting gambling is so rare, and of course, depends on the relationship you built with the child. When it comes to money in such a way that it is also affecting the life of the child negatively, that's when they start keeping it from you to avoid you believing they are bad children. But if you are such a very caring and supportive father, maybe the children will open up to you, but this is in rare cases. However, if you already know that your child is gambling, maybe you should once in a while request for his gambling slips and apps, it could be randomly done after 6 months so that you will be able to bring in parenting advice for a guide.

Nonetheless, as you are doing this to curb excesses, why not also try to keep giving the child financial support and advice that would make him/her know that the real success of life is not in gambling but in real-life activity and successful career-building elsewhere? Gambling is just a way to earn passive income but also an activity that is dangerous and damning. If a child knows this from the beginning, he/she might be cautious and conscious towards it and build a good foundation that will make him only see it as an extra way of life and not the main one. This will not cause some core attachment to it which often leads to desperation of seeking financial breakthroughs through gambling. With this, such a child will always look elsewhere to build a career.

No. Yes appreciate the fun, the excitement, the wins especially and the losses. But thinking about all of this and with the stress it gives, the time that I should be spending with my family and friends or career, If I would start over again I won't delve in with gambling. I used to juggle with which priority should I chose between making money gambling or making time with my family.

So for me I won't miss out any. Because gambling will always be there, they will operate without me. The lesson I learned from that I can also learn from other endeavor. This is just my perspective and my own experience.

Let me go directly to your question, first of all I will definitely try to educate my child with good education and I will try my best to ensure a bright future for him. I will leave no stone unturned to try to shape a bright future for my child and I will try to shape him accordingly. I will make sure that he is never involved in gambling in student life. When he is established he can gamble as much as he wants I will never invite him to gamble or force him to do so.

In answer to your second question I would say that I will gamble as long as I see myself in the driving position of gambling ie as long as I can trust myself but when I feel that the gambling vehicle is out of control I will quit. 

In answer to the last two questions I will tell you that I have learned and learned a lot during this time of gambling and if I had known about gambling I might not have understood the things that I know or understand now.

1. This is common to all of us parents, though we here are regular gamblers or heavy gamblers at some point, but I think we all have to agree that as much as possible, we wouldn't want our children to get involved in gambling ever in their life. However, when it comes at the right age and the right time, I would say as long as my children are able to make a living themselves, I no longer will interfere if they choose to engage into gambling.
2. Me, I didn't totally quit, but I managed to minimized it at the most convenient to accommodate and prioritize my family necessities and needs.
3. Hmmm the only satisfying moment in the entire time I was gambling since before, was when I went home with a good winning amount and bought my parents and siblings an extra food and drinks for dinner.
4. Well, I might have missed how to responsibly manage my finances.

You are right. Even if one gambles, one should never gamble in front of children. Or to make children learn about it. As a result, children will become interested in shoes. And gradually become addicted to it.

Gambling is strictly for adults. Even we see many adults around us who are addicted to gambling. I know some young people who have become addicted to various drugs because of their gambling addiction. I have seen some news about people who have committed heinous crimes like theft and robbery to finance their gambling and drug addiction.

I always say that gambling is not for the faint of heart. If you cannot control yourself then you should definitely stay away from gambling. Otherwise you will easily get addicted to gambling. So before gambling we should know about its disadvantages. And you should keep yourself mentally strong.
