Topic: Never gamble in front of your kids. - page 17. (Read 7911 times)

As a parent then you would really be needing up that kind of moderation on all possible things that could affect your kids negatively on later life or as they do go older.
We do know that even with those simple steps do really be ended up on something big when it gets been tolerated or something that you do ignore. Later on you would be babbling
on having those kind of regrets that you should have done that while they are still little. Sometimes parenting is something to be blamed on why their kids do ends up on having
those kind of dealing on just because these parents arent really that mindful about their kids condition or situation. Gambling is never been that a good thing for those
young minds to be exposed on.

I have kids and I gamble,  but then my kids are very little the eldest is still 2 years and for sure she always puts eyes on my cell phone and also attempts to operate my computer so this gives me worries,  and I know my kids are going to take after me in a lot of things but regardless on how it seems to be, I am going to moderate a lot of things about me and at some point, I will be able to properly integrate my kids into whatever they pick interested in.

As parents, we have a lot of duties ahead of us, and giving our kids the best life is one of our primary duties as parents, and whatever we feel will have a negative influence on kids should be kept away from them.

Really just that a common sense stuff, it do really just turns out that there are parents or guardians that who dont really care about into their childrens future or condition on which as long they could be able
to focus into their own activities and likings then they dont care about their kids whether it would really be getting influenced or not.

There are parents who are really that responsible and there are ones who aren't and this is why we do see different conditions and situations that reflects out into those people ended up with those conditions
because of that irresponsible act of their parents and this is something that we cant really be able to make out those conclusions that they are doing well or not.

It would really be just that reflecting into the results later on but somewhat not all children are really that too easy to get influenced on what are the things their parents been doing
on which there are still those who do be able to realize for themselves that the things that their parents been doing is never been that ideal or something good to deal with.

We should maintain a high level of discipline with our children because they are the next generation and easily adapt to the actions they observe. It's typically difficult not to hide the activities we anticipate from our children; I've been in such situation once and must say, it's a bad idea. We have obligations as parents, and while I appreciate that the majority of us are young and inexperienced, with the help of our colleagues, we can do our respective duties effectively. Never gamble in front of your children since it will be a huge disaster for our household.

You actually make a valid argument, the days of saying NO to children and expecting them to listen have passed, childrens today can hardly listen to you, and that is why we should avoid everything that may lead to addiction in their present. Gambling in front of children is not encouraging since children learn and grow based on what they observe. For a child to develop gambling feelings from childhood to maturity has the potential to ruin their life by leading to addiction.
what if the parents do not gamble in front of their children, but their surroundings is frequent with gambling? How will we protect our children in that situation?

        -   You have a point in what you said, because the times are very different. Most young people or children are really smart in this era, and maybe it is brought on by the technology that we have. Then the promotion of gambling is still rampant on Facebook, only real talk.

Millions of children all around the world are Facebook users, and it is not always possible for parents to monitor their children's activities or watching on their Facebook apps. Here in our country, it's like that; others say Facebook is life.

While it might seem like harmless fun with the window hidden, there's a sneaky side effect – your kids. Even if you're not actively playing, that constant hum of gambling can be like a catchy tune they can't ignore. Think of it like that annoying jingle stuck in your head – except it's about jackpots and flashing lights.

Kids are sponges, absorbing everything around them. Even with the window hidden, those "cha-ching" sounds and hidden window can spark curiosity, maybe even a desire to try it themselves. Plus, leaving it running, even minimized, could be like leaving the cookie jar open – tempting little fingers might just wander in.

Now, I'm not judging, but it's worth considering if this hidden game is worth the potential risk. Your kids look up to you. Keeping a safe and responsible environment is key, and that includes being mindful of your own habits. So, ditch the hidden game, and focus on creating awesome memories with your little ones – ones that don't involve flashing lights and jackpot dreams.

Of course, no matter how bad a person's background, especially parents, they will always want the best for their children, they will always try to be able to educate and give good examples to their children because basically parents always don't want their children to have the same fate as them when they grow up. And gambling is an activity that can have a negative impact on a child's future, as we know how someone who has entered the addiction phase now, they always act rashly and carelessly and even justify all means just to be able to gamble such as stealing or robbing to get money to fund their gambling activities, and if a child has known or even been involved in gambling from a young age, there will clearly be significant concerns about their future when they grow up and addiction is a big possibility that will definitely happen to them.

In fact, not only in terms of gambling but we as parents must also be able to limit a child from other activities that can indeed have a negative impact on him from various sides, and for gambling problems we should limit them from an environment that is not good or suspicious enough and also limit them in terms of internet use because as we know that now there are very many casinos that promote on several social media.

Even if you delete your online traces for gambling, the kids and children are clever enough to know what their parents are doing. The children knows what you are doing and they observe things very keenly and also try to follow their elders. If parents want their children do not gamble, they need to get rid of gambling themselves. There is no way that the parents gamble (openly or hiddenly) and the children do now know and follow them.


If parents lose in gambling, they will become frustrated and in this situation, they can behave badly with their children and abuse or punish their children too even though they have nothing wrong done by those children. I do not understand how to cope with such a situation but if the person is doing a responsible gamble he will be able to control his emotions and therefore he will behave normally with his kids, wife and all those near to him.

As a father the first task will be how to ensure the future of the child, in this case no parent wants to do something that will affect their children's career badly. Little boys get excited about gambling in front of girls. Children get many harmful habits from these parents.can learn and start to affect those harmful habits later on in their lives. My advice to these parents is that you who have become addicted to gambling should provide some alternative entertainment for the children in front of the children so that the children cannot master your harmful habit.

Children should have their own personal rooms so they won't be able to witness your gamble experience, more especially when you are a reckless gambler, your children shouldn't see your gambling practice or patterns because they will learn from you. When they feel like testing what they saw their partner of gambling might be worse than yours.

We as parents do have the experience and have the knowledge about on things on this world and we are already wary about those probable things that it could lead out when our children
would really be able to know about playing gambling. If you are someone or a parent thats been engaging with gambling then it would really be just that right that you should really be responsible with your actions so that you wont really be that making yourself having those kind of regrets on the time that you've seen your children is really that doing the same stuff as you do.
There are ones who would really be might be having that good control since not all kids would really be getting a fond off things that they've seen around even into their own parents.

Same with my opinion, they'll gonna think that there's no problem imitating their parents from what they are doing, if they see that those people who are with them are doing it then there's no problem for them to do it also, being a guardian or parent needs to have that kind of self-responsbility knowing that there are always possibility that the people especially those young child can be affected indirectly of our actions, it's better to stay away or far away from them if you can't resist the desire of playing/gambling to prevent them gaining interest to what we are doing.

What you said here is very true, we can shield our children from watching us gamble or not to let them engage in gambling, when we're with them in the comfort of our homes, they'd listen to us, but what about when they're outdoor, probably seeing adults that are gambling in the open, we can't stop them from seeing and being curious. I think that at certain age of our children we need to teach them things according to there levels of understanding, example is telling them the implications of certain things that they see adults do in the open and on screen. As regards gambling we need to let them to understand about irresponsible gambling and how the individual can become an addict and ruin their lives.

You claim that your wife and children are unaware? Rethink your thoughts. Evidence of absence is not the same as absence of evidence. The apps may go unnoticed by them, but what about the symptoms you aren't aware of yourself exhibiting? People are perceptive beings who can detect even the smallest shifts unconsciously. It's not only about avoiding detection; it's also about subtly imparting knowledge to them. And, believe it or not, every day, with every secret app, every controlled reaction, you are teaching them

It's a house of cards that will eventually fall. The true risk will come when you discover whether your family has restored their trust in you. Consider that

Some things are easier said than done, there is nothing wrong with gambling at home what matters is that when we do we should be able to hide it from our kids. If you don`t gamble at home when you are using an online platform then the advantage of convenience and anonymity provided by online gambling has been taken away. I have been gambling at home for over 7 years and I will tell you that my wife and kids are not aware that I gamble. The gambling apps are always hidden after I gamble because both my wife and children always have access to my phone so I wouldn’t want them to bomb into the app any day and that is why I hide the app after gambling.

Another reason why it is difficult for them to know that I gamble is because I don’t allow my gambling to influence my behaviour at home. Whether I win or not I am always myself. When I win I don’t get carried away by excitement to avoid my wife or kids asking the reason why I am excited. That can trigger a lot of investigation because even if I try to lie to handle the situation it might not be convincing so I try to avoid it. On the other hand, when I lose I don`t show my anger or try to transfer aggression. The ability to control the gambling activity as I have noted is what matters because even when we gamble offline and do it recklessly it will affect the family and they will find out and that can strain the bond in the family.

I'm not so sure about what you said. Some kids are like sponges and they absorb everything they see. Even if you don't shout loud or make violent movements, if you feel thrilled, worried, excited or sad, they will notice it, even at unconscious level.

IMO, as I said in a prior post, there is nothing wrong with playing lottery from time to time, for example, in front of children. In fact, in my country, in the year's most famous lottery (which is televised and played by 70% of the population) lucky numbers are taken out from the drum by children, and many children watch the draw with their parents. It's already part of the culture.

But in the case of more hardcore games, like slots or even sports betting, I think that children are safer if they don't participate in their parent's hobby, at least until they've grown up and developed more critical and self control skills.

Yes, because usually a child will feel interested if they see something that makes them curious, such as when they see new things in their life but not all of them they like, the point is what makes them quite curious. And regarding gambling, I believe that it is unlikely that a child will be involved in gambling if basically there is nothing that influences them, such as someone who introduces them along with some tempting theories that can make them feel interested, then it is possible. .

It is unlikely for a child to immediately know that what you are doing is a gambling activity, it will not be that easy for a child who is still innocent to conclude something just by looking because the scope of their life is not yet broad, or that means they do not yet know the things that are involved. adults know about it, and if the scenario is like what you said here, where adults act very excessively in responding to their gambling activities, such as shouting loudly when something happens in their gambling session, whether they win or lose, then clearly that will attract the attention of a child to come. and ask about what is going on, but even so, as I said above, it will not be that easy for an innocent child to immediately know that you are gambling.

Some people can just be as shameless as having many things being done in the presence of their children, these are things that are obvious to be more worse than gambling, such could be fighting, intercourse, smoking, drinking and the gambling as we are making discussion on presently, as parent, we should know the proper way of training our children because they will have to rely on us for their proper upbringing, its something bad if the children were not being corrupted from outside but getting this right from within through their parents.

Not really for sure but i would really be definitely be not that confident on letting my kids do sees me on the time i do gamble. Whether you would really be that being emotional or having no emotion on the time that
you do play. Sooner or later they would really be having those questions into their mind on what the heck you've been doing? As their parent then its impossible that they wont really be that curious on the things that you've been dealing with. On the time that they would be asking then what you would answer? Trying to teach them about gambling? I dont think that this would be a good idea but if you do accept about possibility becoming a gambler with your kids then its your choice.

I cant see myself to be that confident on doing some gambling activity in front of my kids even if i do know that they are somewhat responsible but we dont know on when gambling urge do happens
or those curiosity would really be on peak. This is why its better to avoid than to risks it out.
