Re: Parents And Their Children In Gambling..

on the other hand, I am reminded of the old saying "LIKE FATHER LIKE SON". this parable describes what happened to Michael Jordan and his son Marcus Jordan. with the financial ability he has, spending this amount of money, is normal for him, as well as his son.

I guess what happened to his son was none other than what his father did. the child, has the privilege of the billionaire father. in other words, I have no answer to what this Marcus Jordan did. because after all, it was his father who gave him the privilege.

I think we have the same thoughts about the son of the billionaire, anyone wouldn't be surprised if he spent $50k a night and I think that's just pocket money used for his needs. Based on the article states that Micheal Jordan has a net worth of $1.6 billion, so I don't need to explain anything about the amount of money his son spent.

But regarding the conclusion, if we are asked how strict the parents are if you are positioned in the status of a billionaire and you have a habit of gambling, so will you forbid your son to gamble and will limit the money given to your son?
I would say yes, he is not yet worthy of gambling with adults and he should be in an age appropriate environment, but when he is an adult he will determine his own future and I as a parent will prioritize providing support for his future goals.

Those who are billionaires will have different means of spending their money. They will be addicted to different drugs.Because they have no account of money. They will be addicted to gambling. Sometimes they win twice or three times as much as they lose from gambling.But the question here is that it is not right to be addicted to gambling without being an adult. In my opinion if I am a millionaire I will never give all this to my children I will never indulge in all these activities. When the time comes for your destruction, you will suffer from various means. If you want to go well in life, you have to focus on different aspects.One thing to remember is that the wheel of fortune is not always the same. That can certainly change.

Addiction has no age. Wether you are an adult or not, everything which is too much should be stopped. Privillege indeed has many sides; you can use it as an advantage in life or it may consume you as an individual to be too comfortable with life and with lacking responsibility of different things. In this case, parents themselves are guilty of what happened to their child but let's end it that way. As long as they are aware between right and wrong, behaviors can still be changed for a better. If rehabilitation would be needed then so be it, because if nothing will be done in order to stop a behavior expect the worst such as leaving them all with empty-handed or them being uncomfortable with life without this activity which hooked them up.

Adolescents usually hate the things their parents are doing, and after twenty most men and women lead a lifestyle that is completely different from their parents'.

I think it depends on the kind of parents they had. I never hate what my parents had done when I was an adolescent. In fact, I admire them for their hard work and understanding. I think the only thing teen ager hates about their parents is being strict. But then it can be communicated.

What can I say? You've got great parents then, hard working to support you, and understanding, and that is also the support any teenager needs. After all, they weren't gambling addicts, were they?

But that's just your case. You are lucky, mate. Your parents served as a good example for you. In so many cases I know, kids survived only because they were doing the opposite to what there parents were doing. And I mean gambling addiction in the first place. Kids from such families don't want to even hear about gamling, let alone engage with it.

That's just sad reality. Sometimes curiousity will put you at risk from trying different things outside what is being thought inside a home. To experience something new is good but make sure you'd get through it. If not seeking help or providing the help to other people who you think are struggling to get out of such activities, will also do.
