Those who say it is better to hide and not to gamble in front - go ahead. I just wonder what else you want to overprotect your kid from. What else from your mind the kid gonna get addicted from watching. With such too much care and cautious over everything, with some many “if/would/could” you are not doing much good to a kid. I just want to see your face, when you question yourself why your kid is already 30yo, still lives with you, have no intention to getting marries and dont want to work.
You make a fair point. It's only natural as parents that we want to protect our kids from getting hurt or running into trouble. But keeping them wrapped in bubble wrap their whole childhood won't do them any favors later on. Kids gotta explore things for themselves and even mess up some times. That's how they gain moxie and learn to stand on their own two feet when theyre grown and i say let them skin their knees and get some calluses once in awhile. It'll serve them well down the road. But hey, it ain't easy watching your little ones take tumbles. We just gotta find the right balance, I suppose.
As a parent then we are really that aware and experienced enough on whats good and whats bad for our children. We might be doing gambling but we cant really deny to ourselves on what are the imposed risks that it could possibly give into someones life if they would really be tending to engage. This is why it would really be just that normal that we would really be avoiding them as much as we could or as far as possible since we do know on what are the risk that it could possibly give. Also, we do know that parenting cant really be perfect on which means that on the time that we would really be having that opportunity on telling them about on whats the real deal about gambling and other things in life then it would really be giving them at least the idea on what it is and could
really that avoid it naturally even if you arent that around which this is something that we should really minding about.
