It is good that you care for your family. Life with a gambler is very hard and your family will feel bad while you lose money in gambling especially the money which is necessary for your family. If you want to gamble you should use extra money and not the money for your daily needs. If you do so you will lose your respect in your family and they will be in depressed conditions.
I think it's best to take care of your family. For me, it's the number one priority in my life, next to getting rich. lol. I want to be rich and having the right mindset is the way to do it. It should always be like that, not using the budgeted money. I think they wouldn't just lose respect but they may hate you for it.
Taking care of family is always going to be the number one priority, there is no doubt about that and it is just a pity that sometimes, certain people tend to get engrossed in their gambling activities, that they let it not only affect their lives, but also that of those who are close to them and in this case, I am referring to nuclear family members.
Gambling is one thing you really do not want to be taking as a regular thing if you are even a family man as that in the end will not even pass a good message, and for the fact that you have so much responsibility and you are gambling the money away shows real act of irresponsibility.
Unfortunately people become so much addicted to gambling that they consider it as everything. It is important that we should reduce our gambling activities ups to a limit and should not exceed that limit which then make a lot of problems for them.
