Besides, these articles sometimes to have the full story, maybe the man is a religious man and gambling is something that might be frowned upon and was trying to stick to his principles....whatever it is, give it time, the son will explain himself and they will find a way to agree on how to receive the monetary gift.
In this case, reading the whole story, one thing is clearly understood, except for the father, the other members of the boy's family are interested in keeping the money won by the bet. But the boy's father is not agreeing to spend his gambling money for the benefit of the family for some religious reasons. If you look at the boy's older brother's post, they only told the netizens that the gambling money is with his family should be spent. Moreover, the boy's mother is willing to spend the gambling money with the family because the boy's family still owes two months of house rent. If the boy spends the gambling money for family purposes, then his family will have a great life in the future.
the man is actually teaching his son that the winnings from gambling are money that cannot be used for food because according to religion that must be done while the child does not understand the intentions and goals of their father, however I respect his father because that is his principles as a man and a responsible father
Even if the man is a religious person, why didn't he train his child to also be a religious son so that the son will not waste his money to gamble. Does he as a father understand that his son has been spending in gambling for years, how come he wants to stop the reward of his son.
The holy scriptures also permits anyone that sows to be able to reap. He being a religious man should not stop his son from reaping what ever he has invested his time and money into.

Well each dogma or religion is highly respected and everyone has their beliefs, their religion and everything related to it, as far as I'm concerned I think something that is quite free, our children will always be our children, but they can never be equal to we, they are other people who make their decisions, and for my part I will always be proud of my children, of course under my authority they should always do what I teach them, I tell them to train them very well , so that in the Future they will be men and women who Contribute to the world and who are important, who help others and above all can be good people , the rest is up to them, that is why a father cannot be so Radical.
